What are people saying about Mexico City

George_M, Aug 2026

Worth every peso — ask for Hector

Hector made this tour. My family and I spent a morning at Teotihuacán with him, and his knowledge of the site — culture, architecture, history, even archaeoastronomy — turned a walk among ruins into something far richer. On our own we would have looked at the pyramids and left. With Hector we saw the feathered serpent carvings, the puma mural, and sections where the original color still survives, each with the context that made it matter. If you're deciding whether the private tour is worth it: it is, and ask for Hector.

Teotihuacan Tour with Basilica of Guadalupe & Tlatelolco

annettewi77, Aug 2026

A Day at Teotihuacan!

I truly enjoyed the journey. I gained a lot of knowledge about the Aztecs and how their contributions paved the way for what society benefits from today. The tour guides were also knowledgeable and made themselves available to answer questions or provide support in any manner. However, there is a downside. The van hired to take us on this journey was cramped. I felt like a sardine in a can. There was no room to move, which contributed to my claustrophobia. And because the van was so tight, I (and others) felt every bump in the road, which contributed to my motion sickness. Further, although a good guide, Edgar told too many jokes, which ended with "just kidding, just kidding." Perhaps limiting the jokes and providing more substantive information that appeals to why people take this journey. Overall, Edgar did a good job... he just needs to polish his pitch!

Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour

Rozemarijn_D, Aug 2026

Ernesto and Barbara were...

Ernesto and Barbara were very friendly guides, very knowledgeable and sweet! Cesar was an amazing driver. This was an amazing experience! We made one stop on the way to Tolantango for breakfast, and then we went to the caves and the river. We then drove to the pools, where there is also a restaurant in case you want to have lunch/some drinks. You have plenty of time to relax and hang out which made this a very fun and chill activity. On the way back we stopped for pastes - a delicious pastry from Hildago - and then headed back to CDMX! A very full day, but incredibly fun!

Full-Day Tour Exploring the Waters of Tolantongo

Alexa_V, Aug 2026

Fun water activities 🤿

This is a must do experience if you are visiting CDMX! Damian was our guide for our tour and he made this trip a breeze. I liked they provided items for the activities which included: towels, water bottle, shampoo, soap, head light, water protector for your phone, blanket, toilet paper, and a bag to carry it all ( which is nice if you don’t want to get your personal bag wet or pay for storage ) They give you two towels, one that’s in the bag, and another one during the last water activity to shower. When they give you the second towel it’s in a plastic bag so you can use it to put your wet clothes! One thing that I would highly recommend is getting water shoes! During the cave and river activity it can get very rocky. Many people bought them on the 2nd stop on the way there. Make sure to bring cash‼️‼️ 10/10 tour and guide 😊

Mark_T, Aug 2026

Very enjoyable and diverse day

Wonderful day—Xochimilco and Frida Kahlo are must-sees along with a couple short stops and lots of history during the drive. The lunch was good (variety of options and live music). German and Sal were informative and friendly. Definitely recommended if you’re ok with larger bus tours.

Christophe_H, Jul 2026

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

Early Access Chapultepec Castle & Anthropology Museum

Nasim_A, Jul 2026

Focussed/ amazing trip

We had an amazing time visiting the Anthropology museum and Chapultepec castle with our wonderful guide Jonathan. He told us amazing details about the important pieces in the museum. He knew a lot about the history and was very pleasant and polite. He helped us by giving some breaks, taking the pictures and giving us recommendations for different food places in the area. We were very impressed with his knowledge and kind manners.

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.

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...

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
