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!

Magical Way to Start the Day - Floating above the temples at Teotihuacan was an unforgettable, thrilling way to celebrate a birthday! As many hot-air balloons were suspended in the air, including ours, we gazed down on the Teotihuacan temples: the experience was magical. Our guide Howard, arranged for a “Happy Birthday” sign to be waved as we lifted-off: very nice! He took some good photos, too. The visit to Our Lady of Guadalupe was an inspiring experience. The contrasting architectural styles of the Old and New Basilicas gave us a sense of Mexico’s long-ago past, 17th century, and its more recent past, 1970s. I prefer the Old Basilica. We were not able to see the inside of some churches because Mass was being celebrated; but we did see was lovely. ExcellenTravel did a good job: collecting us at our hotel, driving us to the balloon site, driving us to and guiding us around the Teotihuacan archaeological sight, and doing the same at Our Lady of Guadalupe campus, and returning us to our hotel. I recommend this experience.

Incredible experience! - My husband and I had an amazing time on this trip!!! Monica and Etienne were so fun and knowledgeable. They were flexible, allowing us to go at our own pace at the different stops. I cannot recommend this excursion enough. I know it is more expensive than some of the other balloon tours but it is worth it as you can really make the excursion your own.

A must do when in Mexico... - A must do when in Mexico City. Awesome experience for me and my family. Howard (guide) and Carlos (driver) were the best. Very patient especially with my son who has a disability. Thankful for these two for making our experience memorable and stress free.

Great morning at Teotihuacan. - First class from the balloon flight and then top guiding around the magnificent site from Elizabeth. She knows her stuff and helped the wobbly one of us, up and down the many steps around the pyramids of the sun and moon. Early start mitigated by a good breakfast in pleasant surroundings. Would use this company again.
