AMAZING Private Tour! - Howard was hands down the best tour guide we've ever had! From start to finish, he and his team made sure we were completely taken care of and had everything we needed.
What really stood out was Howard’s deep knowledge and passion for the history of the country. he brought every site to life with fascinating stories and insight that we wouldn’t have gotten anywhere else. He struck the perfect balance between informative and engaging, and it made the entire experience unforgettable.
If you're looking for a guide who’s professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your trip amazing, Howard is the one. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience!!! - A great experience from start to finish - private transportation with friendly driver (Carlos) and tour guide (Aleysia) . It was our first balloon ride and it was fantastic- felt very safe and crew appeared to be very skilled and all local staff were very friendly and welcoming. We are vegetarian and we were fortunate that the local restaurant where we ate breakfast after ballon ride had vegetarian options and had a English speaking staff member that understood our dietary requirements- I think name of the restaurant was as Azteca. I highly recommend the tour operator - Excellent Travel

Gonna be hard to top this one.. just awesome - What a helluva awesome way to celebrate my birthday. Woke up early on July 4th (fair skies, light wind, 59 degrees) for 5am pickup at our hotel. Drove north to balloon launch spot. Met two other couples and we 6 went up w Alejandro in the heavenly balloon trip drifting over the awe inspiring Pyramids of Teotihuacan. Smooth landing, then off thru the whole ruins on foot (they have been beautifully restored) with a fantastic tour guide, Howard Cantellano. Anthropology whiz and lots of great facts and stories about the past civilization and the modern day excavations. He led us through everything we were allowed to enter and his attention to detail made this such an enjoyable trip. Spanish and English or a mix Nice brunch/lunch at a local spot. Great driving by Jimena all day. Inclusive of traffic it’s a good 8 hour day.

Unforgettable Experience!!! - Fantastic experience! Really appreciated the guide, driver & communication. Breathtaking balloon ride, very informative pyramid guided tour and delicious breakfast. TOTALLY worth the cost and rising 45 min. earlier than usual because of a demonstration in our hotel’s neighborhood, which our guides, Howard & Carlis. anticipated and warned us about. 5-STARS!

The hot air balloon felt like living a dream. - This was a magical experience everyone should have. We floated above the pyramids with dozens of other balloons and it felt like a dream. Our guide wanted to spend longer at the pyramids than we were interested in, but he was receptive to a slightly shorter stay there. The balloon was the highlight and it was cool to go from flying over the pyramids to being in the ground exploring them.
You also go to a buffet restaurant for breakfast that was surprisingly good (a little busy from the balloon and pyramid traffic).
We were a group of friends celebrating our 50th birthdays and it could not have been a better way to do it!
