Coyoacán, Xochimilco and the Frida Kahlo Museum 10.00 04/26/2024 Susanne Ihle Munich , Germany I travelled with friends

Aerodiverti was outstanding. On time pickup, easy check-in at “balloon airport”, 51 minute balloon ride - we stayed relatively low to catch the wind towards the pyramids then rose higher and caught winds back landing 200 feet from start point! Review all pictures they took and buy a few, bus to breakfast and workshops then 3 minute ride to pyramids. Highly recommend the tour guide they will offer. Well worth it including going into the caves. Then back to pick up point. All v easy!

Credit to the team at Aerodiverti and what an excellent service end-to-end. Thank you to Danni the driver for picking us up and dropping us back from the trip safely and diligently. Thank you to our wonderfully skilled pilot Camilo de la Resa…what flying brother. Thank you again to everyone who made the trip so memorable and of course, not forgetting our wonderful guide Eduardo too.
