Hector was knowledgeable and engaging. His insight about the history and culture really brought the ancient site to life. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him!
It was a memorable experience, our guide knows a lot, answered all our questions in a very professional and knowledgeable way, he is also super courteous, responsible and funny, thank you very much.
Visiting the ancient ruins of Teotihuacán was a truly special experience, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, Héctor. His knowledge of Mexican history and culture is truly impressive. He didn’t simply show us the pyramids; he helped us understand their meaning, the traditions surrounding them, and the importance of Teotihuacán in Mexico’s history. His explanations were clear, fascinating, and full of interesting details that brought the site to life. Héctor was also very friendly, attentive, and happy to answer all of our questions. You can tell that he genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge and has a real passion for Mexican culture and history. Having Héctor as our guide made the experience much more meaningful and enriching. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit Teotihuacán and gain a deeper understanding of the incredible culture and history of Mexico. Thank you, Héctor, for such a memorable experience!
The best experience, unique and friendly treatment, excellent service and quality we will definitely be back.
A unique and wonderful experience, Héctor is a great guide with a lot of patience and an incredible sense of humor, in addition to being very attentive, punctual and above all very professional. I highly recommend it, it really made our visit a very good experience.
Tour was great! Lots of walking and steps, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Yosafat was very knowledgeable.
Hector was a great guide! He was super knowledgeable and it was overall a really interesting day trip while in Mexico City - would totally recommend! He also picked us up right at the hotel and dropped us wherever in the city worked best for us, making it as easy as possible to fit into our travel plans.
Hector was a fantastic guide for our trip to Teotihuacán. The drive from our hotel was very pleasant as he spoke to us about the areas we drove through and the history of the pyramids. Once we arrived, he was a wealth of knowledge and information as we walked the expansive area. We learned about theories on what happened to the unknown peoples who built the pyramids, as well as the Mayans and Aztecs. We climbed the moon pyramid and saw how absolutely huge the civilization was. Definitely book a tour with Hector if you want to personal experience tailored to your preferences.
Hector was amazing A+ I’ve done a bunch of solo tours of Pyramids all over the world and he made it feel like he was a buddy who knew every detail about the history and the people who once inhabited the town. I would highly recommend Hector and the tour he provides.
My husband and I went to visit family, and of course one of the things in our bucket list was to tour Teotihuacan City!! So we booked our tour with Dreamusmexicocity.com .. and sheduled Hector, our guide who we already met back in Playa Del Carmen a couple of year's ago; and he was incredible !!!, very knowledgeable and fun, so he made sure that we had and incredible expirence; we really got our money worth. Thanks again to Hector for such a amaizing tour; Hope we can see you soon for another incredible tour in Mexico City !!!
I have spent a lot of time in Mexico, and still, nothing compares to time spent getting to know the culture and history more deeply with Hector and Dreamsusmexicocity. The tour guides are amazing -- knowledgeable and fun -- and the services provided are timely and comfortable. They are happy to adapt to your priorities and needs. Teotihuacan is a must if you're in the CDMX area, and I strongly recommend taking the tour with them to get the most out of the experience. Thank you, Hector, for being such a happy, informative, flexible, and FUN person!
I visited the Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacán on a tour with Héctor and it was an excellent experience. He explains the history in a very interesting way and makes the tour very enjoyable. His knowledge and kindness really make you appreciate the visit even more. Highly recommended! ✨
We we're able to visit Teotihuacán with Héctor in February and we had a wonderful time! Héctor met us promptly at 0800 at our hotel and drove us to the site, we then were able to visit all 3 of the pyramids and another historic location. After seeing all of the sites we stopped by a shop that had mezcal and pulque tastings! Héctor is not only extremely knowledgeable about the history of Teotihuacán but he's also just fun to hangout with. Doing the tour with Héctor also gave us a better foundation and understanding for our museum visit to Temple Mayor the next day. It was nice to have a one on one experience especially when comparing our tours to the large groups we or even if we wandered the pyramids alone without a guide. If you are thinking "I'm great at public transit I'll just bus out there and do it myself" we thought the same thing, but after talking to locals, we realized how much time we would lose with bus transfers between CDMX and Teotihuacán. We were back in the city by 1/2pm and were able to have the entire afternoon to explore. I would recommend this tour to anyone who truly enjoys the history that comes with the sites!
Hector was a wonderful host at Teotihuacan. He was punctual and very knowledgeable. We experienced some issues with traffic due to a protest and Hector kept my family comfortable. I was truly impressed with how professional he was in less than ideal circumstances. It’s hard to judge how someone will manage a situation when everything doesn’t go perfectly, but we were very impressed. Highly recommend.
I made a reservation for the same day, which was already difficult for a lot of travel companies. Hector was very flexible and we adjusted the timing to fit our plans. We had a great time at pyramids, a really interesting lecture on Mexican history and culture and he also helped us arrange a very interesting local restaurant which is topically available only by reservation in advance. By the way, the photos he made was also very professional even though it was taken on iPhone. Thank you! Great experience!
Thanks to our guide Héctor, we were able to learn about the history of Mexico from its origins. It’s amazing how knowledgeable he is and how well he shares that information with us. He also showed us places and shared facts that other guides usually don’t. One thing I really appreciated was that he gave us enough time to rest, take in the archaeological site, and snap some photos. His van was also very clean, and he drove attentively. I highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic tour! Adrian was an amazing guide who knew a lot about the pyramids and shared personal stories with us to make the trip enjoyable. The car ride was safe and comfortable!
Hector was a wonderful guide taking a large group around the pyramids, and other sites, before our wedding day. He is very informed about the area.
Hector was such a great guide. He was knowledgeable, patient and kind. We had a big group of friends for this tour and Hector took questions from everyone. We had a great time. Highly recommended!
Hector gave us a fantastic tour of Teotihuacan! He was very knowledgeable and also explained a lot of Mexican history as well. As our first time in Mexico City, my friends and I felt very safe and comfortable. Highly recommend booking with Hector!
We had the pleasure of touring the pyramids of Teotihuacán just outside of Mexico City with Hector as our guide, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly informative, bringing the rich history of the ancient ruins to life in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. Hector was very accommodating, took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly, and made sure we truly understood the significance of what we were seeing. His pride in his Mexican heritage was clear and added so much depth to the tour. He is also very fluent in English, which made communication seamless. By the end of the tour, Hector made us feel like family. We highly recommend Hector to anyone visiting Teotihuacán!
Teotihuacan was unbelievable and we learned so much from Hector. Hector is a fantastic guide and driver! He arrived promptly at our Airbnb and he explained what we would see on this tour. Hector can speak English very well and of course can speak Spanish. He has a great sense of humor and we had a great time talking and laughing on our drive to Teotihuacan. Hector guided us and brought up interesting facts as we walked to the pyramids. He made sure we were safe as we climbed one of the pyramids. He made sure to answer any of our questions. The views were amazing at every stop as Hector explained what we were seeing. Hector recommended we walk to another pyramid on the main walkway or the Avenue of the Dead as he went back to drive his vehicle closer to where the tour would end. This allowed us to explore on our own as we walked to pyramid. He then joined us and we continued with this personalized tour. We highly recommend this tour and Hector made this tour fantastic. We were ready for lunch and an ice cold beverage. Hector drove us to one of his favorite restaurants nearby and we had a very tasty lunch. Make sure to take a hat and sunscreen. Hector did have water bottles that was much appreciated.
"An incredible experience from start to finish! The place is spectacular and completely exceeds expectations. The tour is very well organized, but what really made the difference was our guide, Héctor, who was super attentive, with his very cheerful and passionate personality, and he shared fascinating facts with us throughout the tour. You can tell the professionalism and the care with which they do their work. Highly recommended 100%!
Awesome experience! I would go back without thinking about it, super fun! 🤩
We took the family tour in Teotihuacán and our experience was excellent. The guide we had is very patient and helped my young son become very interested in the culture; he not only brings the experience to the adults, but also to the children in a friendly language and by playing. Héctor is a great expert on history, in addition to the punctuality and the attention he had with us. 100% recommended. Thank you Héctor for everything
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent experience on the tour to Teotihuacán. Everything was very well organized, but without a doubt what made the difference was our guide, Héctor Lara. It is clear that he enjoys what he does and that he knows a lot about the history and the place. Héctor made the tour very pleasant, explained everything in a clear and interesting way and, furthermore, was always attentive to any question or detail. It did not feel like simply listening to information, but like really living and understanding the history of Teotihuacán. Without a doubt, having a guide like Héctor makes the experience much more special and unique. 100% recommended the tour and, above all, having Héctor as a guide. I would do it again without thinking about it!
The tour with Hector through Teotihuacán was incredible! I learned more about history with him than in school 🙊 Hector was very attentive and fun.
We are a group of friends, and we took the excursion with Héctor, his service was excellent, he provided us with the information in such a way that the site became more wonderful than it already is, we felt like we were in a movie!

The transportation was super clean and punctual. The best part was arriving at the pyramids right when they opened, there were almost no people, and the guide explained the Mayan and Teotihuacan history in great detail. The food at the underground restaurant at the end was excellent.
The service from young Hector Lara was excellent; his attention and interest in his travelers is among the best, and he was very attentive to any questions we had at all times! I would hire the service again without hesitation!!
