The best choice ! - Ricardo our driver was awesome ! Balloon ride was flawless - once in lifetime experience with the best crew. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and down to earth. And getting to eat a La Gruta was a cherry on top. I did follow other review suggestions and making my reservations ahead of time for around 11:30am. It was perfect timing. Our best day out of our four day trip to Mexico City .

Excellent Service - The service provided by excellntravel and the people who arranged to pick us up from the hotel, take us to the air balloon and then to the Teotihuacan complex was excellent. Very attentive, willing to serve and provide the best attention. Thank you very much. I definitely recommend them.

Phenomenal, highly recommend Elizabeth and Carlito - Elizabeth was an exceptional guide. She was very kind and knowledgeable about the history of Teotithuacán. The hot air balloon ride felt very secure, with a licensed balloon pilot. Thank you to Carlito as well, we had a phenomenal experience.

Amazing experience - Howard gave a very detailed explanation of the Aztec pyramids. Even though he was working within a time frame, he still made sure to pause the tour so we could take photos. He was warm and welcoming throughout, and tour guides like him truly make the experience memorable.

Great experience - Wonderful experience, it was 2 of us in our party. Hermes was our guide and carlos was our driver. It was a quick comfortable to the Balloon port. After a quick weight check we were able to get some coffee and cookies. We were a tiny group of 2 people so were on a balloon with a basket meant for 4 people. We took off, good ride for 45 min with great views of the pyramids and surrounding villages. After returning and looking at our pictures and buying our souvenir we then made our way to the pyramids. Hermes was a great guide, he was very knowledgeable about the history of the archeological site, answered all of our questions. The site was not very crowded, got a chance to take plenty of pictures and play with the friendly dogs who call this archeological site their home. After that we made our way to the famous La Gruta restaurant, food was satisfactory, ambience was good after which we headed back to our Hotel in CDMX.

Magical Time in Teotihuacan - SO glad we did this! Howard and Etienne made us feel safe and taken care of, and it felt nice supporting a smaller operation. Our balloon operator Ulysses was a total pro, and Howard gave us a fascinating and informative tour of the pyramids before our brunch at La Gruta. Made it back to CDMX center around 1pm and had the rest of the day to chat about the morning's adventures.
