You get the best of both worlds: the value and buzz of a full balloon basket, paired with a transfer that's entirely yours. Here's what the private upgrade changes.
A shared van with other travellers, several pickup stops along the way, a fixed central meeting point — and you wait on the slowest group before you set off.
Your own car and dedicated driver. Picked up at your door and dropped back, a direct route with no extra stops or waiting, and a restful, private start to the morning — you leave entirely on your schedule.
From the moment your private driver knocks to the final sparkling toast above the pyramids, it's all handled. No upsells at the field, no surprises.
Your own vehicle and driver, from your address in Mexico City to the launch field and back.
Raise a glass mid-air to celebrate your flight above the ancient city.
Fly alongside fellow travellers for that classic, lively atmosphere — the best-value way to experience a Teotihuacan balloon flight.
Every passenger is covered, on every flight — included at no extra cost.
Experienced, certified crews flying modern, regularly inspected equipment.
An unhurried hour in the air to soak in the valley, the pyramids and the morning light.
A seamless, private-transfer morning built around the best light and the calmest air over Teotihuacan.
No central meeting point, no shared van. Your dedicated driver picks you up at your Mexico City hotel or address and heads straight for Teotihuacan — a direct, restful ride with no other stops.
Arrive ahead of the crowds, watch the balloon inflate against the dark sky and get your pre-flight briefing from a certified pilot before stepping into the shared basket.
Rise as the sun crests the valley and glide over the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon and the Avenue of the Dead. Camera in hand, raise a sparkling-wine toast mid-flight.
Touch down, celebrate the morning, and your private driver brings you straight back to your door in comfort — on your schedule, not the group's.

The flight lasts about 45–60 minutes in the air. With the private transfer, briefing and toast, the full sunrise experience runs roughly 3–4 hours door to door. Flights depart at sunrise, around 6:00 AM, so your private pickup is scheduled in the early hours. We operate Monday to Sunday, weather permitting.
Yes. At sunrise you float over the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon and the Avenue of the Dead as the light turns gold — a view you simply can't get from the ground. The experience is rated 4.9 out of 5 from 426 reviews, and the private transport means you start and end the morning effortlessly, with no driving or parking.
Balloons launch at sunrise from a field next to the Teotihuacan archaeological zone, in the State of Mexico, about an hour and a half from central Mexico City. Your private driver takes you straight there, so you arrive ahead of the crowds and watch the balloon inflate against the dark sky before lift-off.
The basket is stable and the ride is gentle. The minimum age to fly is 5 years old. Children aged 5 to 10 can fly at the full adult rate, since they take a complete spot in the basket; under 5 cannot fly for safety reasons. Pregnant women cannot fly, at any stage of pregnancy. Older adults can fly with no upper age limit as long as they can step into the basket on their own (~1.20 m).
With private transport you travel in your own dedicated vehicle with your own driver, picked up and dropped off door-to-door. There are no other passengers, no multiple pickup stops and no waiting — you leave on your schedule. The balloon flight itself is shared, so you still enjoy the lively atmosphere of a full basket at the best value.
