The hotel pickup was very convenient and our driver was courteous and friendly. Our tour of the caves and pyramids with Alicia was fun and informative. Alicia shared so much of the history of the area and the people who’ve lived there for centuries, including their daily lives and spiritual connection with the land. We enjoyed the brief respite to sample mezcal and learn how people of the area used agave and obsidian for all kinds of uses before exploring the pyramids. We visited in a drier time of year, but if you’re visiting in a rainier season wear sturdy shoes and take lots of sunscreen and water. Highly recommended!

It was a beautiful experience i will recommend this tour ana was berry helpful,everyone was nice and friendly,thank you for everything
Had a very knowledgeable tour guide. Very impressed. She was very professional and polite. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
The tour was an amazing experience. Alicia was a fabulous tour guide along with our driver who was waiting on us every step of the way! Tour guide: Alicia was so wonderful in creating a curated experience both spiritually and educationally. We learn so much about the site, the religion and the historical artifacts. We enjoyed her guiding us through the caves, teotihuacan (sun and moon palace). She was incredible! Our driver: Miguel was sooooooo sweet!! He picked us up from our hotel on time, took us to the site and waited on us throughout our tour. Such a generous driver! We enjoyed our experience thoroughly!
We went on a Monday, but it was not crowded. We were picked up right on time at 09:00 in front of our hotel. The driver picked up additional people at another hotel, and we headed out of Mexico City. Our first stop was at the caves where we met our guide Alyssia who gave a presentation about the building of the city and the culture of the people who built it and its spiritual significance. We were then given helmets and a flashlight and descended into a cave where we participated in a renewal ceremony . We exited the cave in a connected line to emulate Quetzalzoatl the serphant, boarded our van and proceeded to a tourist stop with clean bathrooms where we were given a presentation on minerals and the nopal cactus used to make pulque. We then headed for Teotihuacan where we toured to site and some of us climbed the Moon pyramid. We then returned to our van and went to a nearby restaurant where we had a pleasant lunch (not included). The day ended when we were dropped off at our hotel at about 5:30 pm. Alyssia is very knowlegable and passionate about helping tourists understand the people who built Teotihuacan.
Fantastic. The tour guides are very knowledgable and the scenes are wonderful. Learned a lot about the history of the pyramids on this trip. Hope to come back one day!
I had an absolutely amazing experience visiting Teotihuacan! Our tour guide, Lee, was fantastic and made everything easy to understand in English. The transport from CDMX- Mexico City was quick and convenient. We also explored some incredible caves, have a quick stop in a local shop where we were educated about the craft made in that part of Mexico and ended up with a late lunch in a local restaurant - which were a bonus for this trip. Even the Spanish-speaking tour guide ANA was easy for me to understand as a Brazilian who speaks Portuguese. Overall, a truly memorable experience! [PT] Eu tive uma experiência absolutamente incrível visitando Teotihuacan! Nossa guia, Lee, foi fantástica e tornou tudo muito fácil de entender em Inglês. O transporte de CDMX (Cidade do México) foi rápido e conveniente. Também exploramos algumas cavernas incríveis, fizemos uma parada rápida em uma loja local para aprender sobre o artesanato daquela região do México e terminamos com um almoço tardio em um restaurante local, o que foi um bônus para essa viagem. Até a guia que falava Espanhol, Ana, foi fácil de entender para mim, que sou brasileiro e falo Português. No geral, uma experiência realmente memorável!
The tour was very informative and we got to see amazing sites! Our guide was very friendly and answered all of the group’s questions.
Would 100% recommend this tour. We had Alyssa and she was very knowledgeable. Bus driver Gustavo was also very friendly.
Alicia, oscar the driver and Julio the French guide were amazing. I recommend that excursion to everyone in the area, it was quite instructive.
Fantastic tour! We booked it late in the evening the night before. The company immediately emailed instructions and the itinerary. Enrique, the driver, was five minutes early for the pickup. His car was clean and comfortable and he was super friendly. Alesia, our guide, was fantastic as well. She was super knowledgeable and took time to go through all of the history. We also had our six year old son with us. She was excellent with him as well. Overall we had a fantastic experience. Would highly recommend!
Super experience. Well prepared guides that really likes what she is doing putting passion on explanation. Very worth.
We did a tour to the Teotihuacan Pyramids our guides Ana and Lee along with our driver Alejandro made the experience an unforgettable one. Both Ana and Lee irradiated such a magical vibe and spirituality that words cannot express. They were very passionate and knowledgeable about everything. The tour consisted on a visit to the caves, mezcal and pulque tasting, a little learning moment of the stones like the Obsidian by a friend of theirs, Maria (whom you can buy your souvenirs from) As well as of course the tour to the pyramids. They were very attentive with us, taking pictures, providing us with water, Mexican traditional snack bars and at the end taking us to get some food at a local restaurant. We will be coming back, hopefully with our families and without any doubt we will be booking with them again. 10000/10. Gustavo & Ana
Caves, pyramids and found out a but about the history! Pick up was on time, we had a lot of info on the site and buildings. Nice tour!
Just ok. Guide spoke ok English. Very long winded. Slow Walker. No lunch until after 3 pm. Too much time at tourist trap shopping area. Definitely could have been better.
OMG!! One of the best tours we’ve experienced. And we’ve been all over the world. Both knowledgeable and fantastic people, our guide Marcos was wise beyond his years and our driver Ricardo had a heart of gold. But the best part was that they made pick up as easy as pie, and a 9:00 am departure is chronic travellers dream. LOL from Canada 🇨🇦
Alicia was very knowledgeable and kind. She made the tour very enjoyable. Great value for the price. Would definitely recommend.
The trip was amazing. We did the English tour with Alicia. Alicia is an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and with a strong connection to the topics she was describing. The caves were a great experience, and Teotihuacán was just insanely interesting.
Great experience, all of the guides took their time to explain the history behind each site we visited. Very friendly tour guides and driver picked up from our location of choice.
For the price, it was good. However you may need to take things into your own hands a bit. Over the course of about 9 hours, we were picked up and driven to the site. Instead of going directly to the site, we first stopped at a cave that was cool. We stayed too long here. Then off to a tourist trap souvenir shop. Par for the course. But be aware the prices here are astronomically marked up. So haggle if you like. You should just wait until you get to the site to buy from someone in greater need at a much lower price. Once we finally made it to the site, I felt a bit restrained by the tour guide going on and on about things. Keep in mind, having left at 8:30am, we didn’t arrive here until probably noon or 1pm. Once there if you don’t leave the tour and go walk on your own, you’ll never get to see anything. Once we figured this out we only had maybe half an hour to 45 minutes to see the site. We didn’t even get to see the temple of the serpent, which was possibly the most visually interesting. Once you leave the site then it’s off to a restaurant to eat and spend more money. And finally a drive back to the city. A 9 hour trip for less than an hour at the pyramids. I can’t help but feel in retrospect that instead of a tour this was primarily a ploy to get your money, with a quick stop at the pyramids. Had I known this all in advance, I still would have gone but would have used my time more wisely. In the end tho, this is how the people there make their money and it should be somewhat expected. The tour guides were very nice of course. But in on the deal. I hope they get commission from the restaurant and souvenir shop.
Our guide Alicia had very good knowledge about the history and culture of teotihuacan. Our driver Josué was super nice too
Our English tour guide Alicia was fantastic, she was very knowledgeable and passionate and speaks great English! I learned a lot about the ancient history, culture, philosophy, and rituals on the archeological sites. It was a unique experience, and many thanks to Alicia that her English made it so much easier for me to really understand and enjoy Teotihuacán.
Very nice tour with a friendly, motivated tour guide. A self-guided tour would have been worse. It is quite affordable, but you are taken to a shop and a restaurant. However, you do not have to buy anything, and at the shop you get an interesting explanation about stones, plants, and minerals, as well as some spirits to taste.
Excellent tour, with informative guide Alicia who was a wealth of knowledge about meso-american culture. We all had a great time and it was excellent value for money. Picked up and dropped off from our accomodations. Overall the staff were kind and courteous, with a big thanks to Alicia, Anna and Jesus!
Courteous team really made the trip interesting and fun. We felt very well looked after by the driver Jesus and the tour guides Alicia and Anna. Pyramids were an absolute must-see. Being collected and dropped off at our accommodation was a welcome bonus. Great value for money.
One of the best tours we have done in CDMX!! Super comfortable transportation and our driver was so nice, respectful and helpful, Alejandro was amazing!!
All our staff were friendly and fantastic! Our driver Jesús was wonderful, he went out of his way to accommodate our family to our destination. Alicia was very informative with our tour guide experience and Ana was extremely enthusiastic during the entire trip, both taking great pictures! Overall, it was a great experience, would 100% recommend to our friends and family! 👍
Was a great experience, The cave tour was simply fascinating. I highly recommend it. The staff was very professional and the food delicious! A once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Such a great deal for the experience. I loved the explanation of the rocks and minerals in the area and how to spot fakes. I learned so incredibly much. Everyone was so lovely and I really enjoyed my time!!
It was an amazing experience. Such beautiful views. My friends and I came out here to Mexico for a couple of our’s birthday and this was my 1st time in Mexico. We’ll never forget this experience. Thank you
Everyone was friendly and gave us a beautiful tour of the pyramids. The addition of the mezcal showing was a nice surprise and a great way to start off the tour.
Amazing tour and experience with April and Jose Julio as our tour guide. He taught us so much about the true history of the pyramids and about the city that existed! Would highly recommend them for your tour!
Our tour guide Daniel Hernandez has a great knowledge base of the history of the pyramids which enriched our experience. His family is from the area for many generations. He shared that he would play with his friends with the view of both pyramids. He has a special bond with the Pyramids.
A wonderful experience! It was so convenient to get a drive to and from Teotihuacán directly to our hotel. Our driver was very friendly and gave us a lot of information about Mexico along the drive. Our tour guide was amazing! He had great energy and enthusiasm. We had a wonderful time with him and wished the tour was longer. Lunch was also great.
1. While the driver and all the guides were nice enough, this was supposed to be an English speaking tour. The driver did not speak a word of English. While the guides did speak English, very hard to understand.. also, our first stop was at a gift shop. Yes, it was nice to see and hear about different local items, but not as our first stop...
Guides were great and price was very good. Couple things I wish were different: Going to the Winged Serpent temple really is not very far for most people. It was a shame to miss seeing it. Maybe offer a longer tour for people serious into archeology.
Driver was great. Tour guide ok maybe too much talking and not enough time for taking photos and looking around
This was a wonderful, economical way to experience Teotihuacan. Our guide Suzanne, was fantastic and shared great historical info and has a great personality. Dropped 1 star because the pickup was 50 minutes late. It was communicated that he was running behind with heavy traffic but didn't have any idea about how long.
Very informative, nice guides, excellent tour. The traffic to reach the place was ok, but to return it was awful
I am a tourist and this is one of the places I love most in Mexico. I recommend bringing a hat and sunscreen because the sun is strong and it can be tiring to walk but it is totally worth it to learn about the culture of this region.
It was an incredible tour, I knew a lot about Teotihuacan and its culture, the guide Julio answered all my doubts, the restaurant was very nice and the food was very delicious, I liked this tour.
Teotihuacan is absolutely INCREDIBLE and a must see if you're visiting the area. Our tour guide Julio did a fantastic job! I loved that it was private so we got to ask questions and go at our own pace. His book with illustrations was a great touch. Having our driver Ari to pick us up and take us around was very worth it. Highly recommend bringing an umbrella/ sunblock as there is little to no shade. The stop beforehand with the liquor tasting and agave demo was cool but if I did it again I'd skip that part and spend more time touring the archaeological site. Specifically wish we'd gotten to see the temple of the feathered serpent but that's a few km down the avenue of the dead and we didn't have time. Eating lunch in the cave was also an incredible experience! Don't forget some cash to tip your driver and guide.
Complete you know several cultural places for a good price, the attention and guide is excellent, super recommended
Everything seemed excellent. Personalized attention by the driver Alfaro and the Anna Guide
Excellent tour, Ana guides her very worried and with a lot of knowledge that she knows how to transmit it. 100% recommended
I went alone with my 7-year-old. Daniela picked us up, small but comfortable car. Good music, air and good handling. Upon arrival we were greeted by Ana, who made the tour. Lovely woman, friendly and patient to explain to the child. I highly recommend the tour!! It was fair and accurate.
Our guide Alicia was very friendly, my partner does not speak Spanish and she was a good translator, the caves are beautiful and the impressive pyramids, the first driver, we were very comfortable, however the place where we ate we did not love, it is more tourist trap, but the rest great
The.explivavion of our guide Ana was fabulous the whole tour was great the climb to the.pyramide is not easy but was achieved
We had the most incredible experience with Alicia! This is an amazing tour and we had a wonderful time with our guide as she gave us lots of interesting information about the history of Teotihuacan. Additionally, our driver Andres was very helpful and kind. We immensely enjoyed every second! You will not regret booking this activity. Thank you Alicia, Andres, Diego, and Juan!
