We were picked up on time, the transfers were smooth, and our guide Luis was amazing! A teacher by training, he was patient and informative. His passion for the history of the place shined through. We would definitely take another tour with them.
Well organised tour. Driver arrived on time and battled through the traffic. Four guests including us went on the walking tour and three others joined a bike tour. The walk was easy enough, except for climbing the pyramids of course. It was a warm and pleasant day, but not too hot and we did not have to wait to go up. This was followed by a snack (included in price) and another visit to a site with beautiful paintings. Then a quick visit to learn about pulque and obsidian. Optional purchases, but no pressure. Followed by lunch (included) and then the traffic back to our hotel (back by 6pm) Overall very well organised, so would use this company again. The sights are amazing. The guide and driver both spoke very good English and it was great to have a chance to find out about daily life in modern Mexico at the same time.
We were picked up from our hotel in Condesa at 8am and driven to Teotihuacán where we met our guide, Miguel. It was nice to head to the pyramids early in the morning. There was hardly any crowd, which was convenient for capturing amazing pictures. Miguel gave us plenty of time to climb both the sun and the moon temples and walked us along the avenue of the dead. He was very patient and answered all of our questions. The highlight of the trip ended up being the visits to the different ruins with mural paintings. It is not something a lot of tourists visit. We picked Miguel’s brain on history, Mexico City, culture and food. It was a lot of fun chatting with him throughout the tour. The quesadilla snack and lunch were ok. Overall, we were quite pleased to book this tour.
We enjoyed this full day tour of Teotihuacán. The pick-up was punctual and the ride to Teotihuacan was comfortable. The site is amazing. Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We chose the bike tour of the surrounding area. The sites are the same whether you bike or not. Although the biking is flat some of the paths are difficult for those not used to riding bikes and one of our group fell. We also enjoyed the various stops, especially stopping for a snack to watch, and help in making, quesadillas. A very worthwhile way to explore Teotihuacan and its surroundings.
As we were just two guests and our great guide Luis it was like a private tour. Saw many sites at Teotihuacan than regular tours don't include and received a great deal of interesting information about them. Visits to the restaurant to watch the preparation of traditional foods and to the family run business specializing in a wide variety of products - liqueurs, salsas, soaps etc. - from cactus were amazing.
Our guide was Luis and driver was Anjelica. Both very pleasant and welcoming. Luis was a very informative guide. This was GREAT value for money. There were just two of us so we were able to go at our own pace. Anjelica met us at our hotel and drove us to the pyramids site where Luis was waiting for us. After the walking and climbing, we stopped for a local snack and then visited two more sites where the murals were so clear. Then lunch and the drive back to our hotel. One more thing, we booked this trip just one day in advance yet everything went like clockwork.
