What are people saying about Mexico City

FREDERIC_E, May 2026

Well worth our time

It's a lot of walking which can be a problem on a hot day. That aside, it was a wonderful way to spend a few hours learning. We had a trained anthropologist, Miguel, a college professor, as our guide, and he was great. He was very knowledgeable about all cultures and gave us a wonderful history of the people who built and occupied the area. He also had an excellent understanding of the historical relatiinship between Mexico and the U.S.A.

Teotihuacan Tour with Basilica of Guadalupe & Tlatelolco

Sarah_M, May 2026

Fantastic Experience

It was a long day but packed with many wonderful sights. Our guide was fantastic and very informative. Be sure to put on sunscreen and bring a hat for the pyramids. Water too! You can buy some there but not until you are further inside. Lunch was very tasty and had a cool show. Highly recommend this tour!

Full-Day Tour Exploring the Waters of Tolantongo

Rachel_B, Apr 2026

Best experience ever start to finish

I would 100% do this again if ever in the mexico city! Lalo was our tour guide, he was very fun and knowledgable. Its an all day thing so do not plan for something else when getting back after all the swimming you will want to rest! The breakfast spot we stopped at was amazing with great options and so much fresh fruit and so was the restaurant we ordered from to have lunch by the beautiful turquoise river (if you do not add the option now know you will still have the chance to order food just be ready to hand the money in cash to your tour guide)

Pyramids of Teotihuacan and restaurant in a natural cave

Darryl_K, Apr 2026

Great time seeing the pyramids and expanding my knowledge of their history.

Our took guide, Ernesto, was amazing. He shared his wealth of knowledge while keeping us entertained. He took time to answer everyone's questions and allowed us sufficient time to explore on our own. It would take us days to see it all and we would not have received the deeper understanding that we do now. Ernesto, we appreciate you.

Linda_B, Apr 2026

Super exciting and a lot to see.

This was the highlight of our trip to Mexico City, the tour was very detailed from picking up to the travel time and drop off. This is not a shopping / restaurant tour, this is a tour that you will have plenty of time to see all of Teotihuacan. Amazing tour guides and great bus driver. I believe the guide, which was Spanish and English speaking, was named either Van or Dan. (Could be something completely different). This is worth the cost and time to take the trip. Make sure you wear really comfortable shoes and a good sun hat as you will do a lot of walking and climbing stairs. The tour recommends to take a snack and a good water bottle as you will need both depending on the time of year you go. We did this in April and it wasn't really hot but very sunny. With no shade it can get very exhausting if you're not used to ups and downs. Definitely recommended.

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).

Early Access Chapultepec Castle & Anthropology Museum

Valerie_Z, Apr 2026

Engaging, Insightful Tour That Kept the Whole Family Engaged

Jonathan was fantastic and easily one of the best guides we’ve had. He struck the perfect balance of being deeply knowledgeable and genuinely fun, which made a huge difference touring with teens. Everyone stayed engaged and came away having learned a lot. He did a great job tailoring the experience to our interests and pacing the day so it never felt overwhelming. We especially appreciated how he navigated both the Anthropology Museum and Chapultepec Castle in a way that kept things moving smoothly. He brought history and context to life with stories and humor, and was great at reading the entire group and adjusting in real time. Highly recommend this experience.

Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour

Auja_N, Apr 2026

Family in Mexico

We went with our 10-year-old, 8-year-old, and 5-year-old. The ride up was kind of bumpy, but our our driver and tour guide were really friendly. When we got there, we changed into our swimwear immediately. We then spent time in the caves, moved to the river, and then finished at the pools. The only thing we didn't get to do was the zip line because where our van was would have taken a long time to get back. That was a little bit of a bummer. The 5 hours went by really fast. We did get something to eat and only pesos were accepted in cash form. No credit cards. You definitely need water shoes, and waterproof cases for phones. The beauty of the mountains, waterfalls, and the water in general is totally worth it. We all enjoyed our time.

Xochimilco, Coyoacan and Frida Kahlo with Optional Lunch

Charlotte_G, Apr 2026

Colour and splendour

An amazing trip. Alan and Hector were wonderful, bilingual, guides, switching effortlessly between English and Spanish. They were kind and attentive throughout the day. The university visit was fascinating and then the trip to Cocoyan steadily paced so we reached the Frida Kahlo museum in good time. Casa Azul was a dream. Cocoyan was fabulous , just wish we had had longer there as I had to race round the market and barely saw the area after the museum. Xochimilco was special too. Obviously hugely busy and touristy but that doesn’t take away from the sheer joy of colourful boats, people offering food and drink on neighbouring boats, seeing mariachi bands & a tiny piglet as well as a heron & a man with a huge snake wrapped round his body. Wild. Highly recommend this trip.

Excursion to Cholula and Puebla from Mexico City

Butch_C, Mar 2026

Great Day Trip to San Pedro de Chulula and Puebla

While it's a long day, the visit to Cholula and Puebla was well worth the time. It gives you a chance to see some Unesco World Heritage areas including the Puebla Cathedral and the Church of Our Sister of Remedies (Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de los Remedios). We enjoyed the chance for a one day trip out of Mexico City to experience another city nearby and some beautiful attractions including the volcanoes in the distance.

Teotihuacan, Shrine of Guadalupe & Tlatelolco Day Tour

George_R, Mar 2026

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
