★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6,138 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $39

“Everyone was kind and helpful. The bus ride was comfortable. The food after was pretty ok too. Once getting to the site I would ask for your ticket. We decided to use the bathroom at gate 2 and they wouldn’t let us in because we didn’t have the site ticket. So make sure and get that. We had to buy another one to get back in. I would also suggest that starting early at the moon pyramid would make more sense. By the time we got there it was crowded. These are just my ideas but still I enjoyed it.”

Seamless switch between English and Spanish. If someone asked a question in one language he repeated in the opposite language giving answer in both languages so everyone on tour understood what was happening at all times. Alan was the best tour guide I have ever had!!Read more”

Guides such as Marco and Edgar add lively historical context, though the craft-shop stop and paid lunch can take more time and money than expected.

“Our guide, Edgar, and our driver were great. I always felt safe in the vehicle and Edgar had great enthusiasm for his job. Teotihuacan was breathtaking and this tour had less walking than another one I've taken. There was ample opportunity for photos. The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe has beautiful views and a person can see firsthand how the buildings in Mexico City are sinking. It was a nice stop. Lunch was at least okay, but expect it to be overpriced for Mexico City. The low point was the stop at the travel center before going to Teotihuacan pyramids. The lady took forever to make her points, and…”
