What are people saying about Mexico City

Aurianne_D, Aug 2026

Excellent Tour!!!

Aldo and our driver arrived at 8 AM in a very comfortable minivan and took us to Teotihuacan. He started explaining interesting facts about the areas we drove through in Mexico City, all the way up to our initial destination, and once we were there, he continued sharing the most interesting, clear, and fascinating details about the culture, the people, the rituals, and the structures that we were visiting. His English is excellent and he makes it incredibly interesting. He asked us what we wanted and didn’t want and curated the tour accordingly. He is also an excellent photographer and took pictures of my family throughout the tour. We really loved the tour and would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Full-Day Tour Exploring the Waters of Tolantongo

Alessandro_A, Aug 2026

Long drive but completely worth it.

Lalo made my experience unforgettable. He valued our time and energy by being punctual to everything he planned. Everything was so organized and thought out- down to providing toilet paper because the place doesn’t provide it. He mixed a fun filled day with fascinating history. Although I had gone alone, he always made me feel included in everything, like we were on big family going on a trip. My only concern with the trip is I wish the cave exploration was more thorough but an amazing experience nonetheless. He provides you with water proof phone protectors which was amazing for getting incredible photos. Bring an external phone battery charger, my phone died right before the trip back. I would highly recommend this excursion, I never write reviews unless I extremely enjoyed it. Definitely go if you can afford it. Breathtaking.

Teotihuacan pyramids morning or afternoon without tourist traps

Jack_J, Aug 2026

Excellent Pyramid experience with Francisco!!

This is not only a tour of the pyramids but also history of Mexico City from the historical center, and how it grew is discussed how much of the one hour bus trip out to the pyramids Francisco was our tour guide. He did an amazing job of relaying thousands of years of history in both Spanish and English on the bus and taking over the English group for a terrific two hour tour of the pyramid site itself. he was thorough and concise even under pressure from a potential rainstorm coming in. Fortunately, the storm passed with only a drizzle, and he was able to complete the amazing story of the site and its significance in American hystory. There’s plenty of time to wander around on your own a little bit to soak it in I can’t imagine a more efficient way to to experience the pyramids

Angel was a great guide

Angel was the most adorable guide, and very knowledgeable on the pyramids. Be aware that the cost of this tour can soar if you take into account the nice but expensive craft that are presented to you during the first stop, and the lunch at the Cueva. We build some nice memories from this trip

In and out of very popular distant locations.

We had a very smooth pickup and drop off with Jimmy, Miriam and Lily! Amazing activities and speedy in and outs of very packed places like Museo Frida Kahlo and Xochimilco. The silver tour was a little random but we actually ended up loving it and ended up purchasing jewelry. Thank you for being so kind and professional.

Alexandria_R, Jul 2026

Such a dream! An absolute must.

Such an amazing experience, and SO glad I went, but be prepared. It's a LONG day! Three hours each way. While I didn't feel rushed, I would have liked to have had more time at the actual hot springs. If you're unable to swing it, this is a great option, but don't plan anything else for the day, as getting back will be difficult (think LA/ATL prime traffic gridlock). If you have a few days to spare, rent a car and stay at least 1 night to really enjoy it. Our tour guides were awesome! Took us to the cutest cafe to have breakfast. Best coffee ever! And went to an empanada shop on our way back. If you've never been and are limited on time during your trip to CDMX, it's 10000% worth going!

An incredible day trip...

An incredible day trip from Mexico City! Puebla is beautiful, Cholula was fascinating, and the views of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl were spectacular. We were even lucky enough to witness Popocatépetl erupt while leaving the Great Pyramid of Cholula, a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Alfonso was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable, organized, and made sure everyone had a great day. Highly recommend this tour!

Fernando is the best tour guide!

We absolutely loved our tour with Fernando! Nos encantó nuestro tour con Fernando! You may read several reviews that state the tour is long but honestly if you have Fernando as your guide, it is not a problem as he gives staggered breaks for you to sit, use the bathroom, or grab a quick bite. Fernando made the tour so fun and packed with knowledge. He gave such a great overview of important history and fun facts while staying focused on the most famous and popular exhibits in order to make the most of our time. I highly recommend booking with Fernando!

Magical ballon ride over the pyramids

What a magical experience over the pyramids. The tour guides were excellent, and the photographer was amazing. Another moment in time crossed off my bucket list. They stayed in communication with me during my booking and up until the moment of pick up. So dependable and reliable for sure.

Our experience was an extraordinary journey, truly representing the adventure of a lifetime. The individuals we encountered were consistently supportive and displayed remarkable friendliness throughout. If the rating system permitted, I would readily assign a perfect score of 10, but regrettably, the available options restrict me to providing a maximum rating of 5 points.

San Miguel de Allende Tour from Mexico City

Erik_H, Apr 2026

Gracias Javier !

Try to get Javier as your guide because he is very knowledgeable about the city, its landmarks, history, and culture. He also made sure every passenger had a great experience and was patient/accommodating for passengers who couldn't get breakfast so they could pull out cash. The tour itself does go by quick before its time to leave, so its a good way to feel out and get a taste if you want to stay more time in SMA. Thats what we did and ended up staying the night in SMA (not part of the tour but Javier and Viator made the process seamless).

Great trip! Guide was very knowledgeable and was able to communicate in both Espanol and English to the split tour. Driver was great and drove with care. Good experience at all 3 stops. Food stop was ok, lots of vendors at the artisanal shop and teotihuacan. But overall, learned a lot and had a great experience
