Lunch was good, and Frida Kahlo house visit was great. It was a long day, and an hour longer than expected. The university visit was so-so, with a bit too much free time late in the day.”

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

Guides such as Alan, Antonio, Lily, and Alex bring the plazas, murals, and pyramids to life, followed by an obsidian workshop and optional Mexican lunch. Expect a group tour, long walking, and a return around midafternoon.

“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.”

Pickup was right on time and the whole process was very organized. They checked us in quickly, took our details, and even offered tea and snacks while we waited. The balloon flight itself was incredible — it was our first time, the weather was perfect, and the views were unreal. The crew seemed very experienced and made us feel safe the entire time. The landing was also smooth and the team helped everyone get out comfortably. After the flight, the souvenir…”

“The experience was amazing from the beginning. Carlos our driver made the first impression and he is honestly the best driver we’ve ever had. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed his job and wanted to provide the best quality experience he could. Our jungle guide Alan was also awesome. He carried a speaker throughout the jungle and even helped me get out of my comfort zone by going upside down on one of the zip lines. The entire experience was well worth the money. Make sure you bring cash to tip your driver and tour guide, they really appreciate it. You won’t regret booking. 10/10. Thank you!!!!”
