# Hot Air Balloon Flight and Tour of the Majestic Pyramids

**Guidekin's take:** A shared balloon flight over Teotihuacan pairs with a ground visit to the pyramids and an obsidian workshop. Return transport from CDMX and archaeological entry are included, but a guide at the pyramids costs extra and the flight depends on weather. 4.57 from 42 reviews at €162 per person for 9h.
