What are people saying about Mexico City

Tamara_M, Apr 2026

A Curated Day at Teotihuacan

Review for Teotihuacan Aldo and Giovanni delivered an exceptional private tour of Teotihuacan that stood out well beyond a standard visit. From the moment they picked us up at our hotel, the experience was seamless and thoughtfully curated. They were highly accommodating throughout the day, consistently offering options and allowing us to shape the itinerary to match our interests, which made the tour feel genuinely personalized rather than scripted. What truly elevated the experience was the depth of knowledge and context they brought. Aldo, a certified historian, provided a steady stream of engaging insights during the drive and on-site. He connected historical facts with modern-day observations, pointing out landmarks and areas of significance that most visitors would overlook. His ability to translate complex history into clear, compelling narratives made the learning experience both accessible and memorable. A major highlight was their offer to take us beyond the typical tourist path into a lesser-known “neighborhood” of Teotihuacan. This included access to living quarters, preserved murals, and other culturally rich details that offered a more complete and human perspective of the site. It added a layer of authenticity that most tours simply do not provide. Overall, the balance of historical depth, flexibility, and genuine hospitality made this a standout experience. Aldo and Giovanni didn’t just guide a tour—they created an immersive journey that brought the culture, history, and significance of Teotihuacan to life in a way that was both educational and highly enjoyable.

Teotihuacan, Guadalupe Shrine & Tlatelolco Day Tour with Lunch

Day trip

Visited 3 places starting with tlatelolco, then the basilica de Guadalupe, and finally the pyramids in teotihuatan. Drive everywhere was smooth even with the city’s traffic. The places were amazing full of rich history. I learned a lot from our tour guide Miriam and hector. The restaurant where we had lunch had good food. Reserve a full day we got at the pick up location around 0730 and got back around 1730. Overall, I enjoyed my trip and would do it again!

Anali_S, Apr 2026

We loved our tour! Thank you, Marco!

We absolutely loved our tour of the pyramids and the other sites we visited. Marco was such a great tour guide -- one of the best we've experienced on a tour before. He was super informative, kind, and there wasn't a question he couldn't answer. The tour gave us plenty of time at each stop for us to view and experience each place, which was very important to us.

Full-Day Tour Exploring the Waters of Tolantongo

anthony_d, Apr 2026

Tolantonga Experience

My experience on this excursion was a big surprise to me. I was not expecting so much detail and info about the caves, history of Actopan, Hildalgo and Tolantonga. The hot springs, walk through the cave into a big hot spring and Riverwalk was fun. Our guide Alejandro(Leo) and driver Ezekiel were great. Leo made sure we were good at all times and answered any questions we had about the trip. Detailed info for pickup times, stops and drop off point. I suggest you go with this company and ask for Alejandro (Leo).

Teotihuacan pyramids morning or afternoon without tourist traps

Andrew_L, Apr 2026

An unforgettable day visiting Teotihuacan

We had a brilliant day having the ruins of Teotihucan brought to life by our very knowledgeable guide Josefina. The site is vast, so be prepared to walk up to 5k and because of this we walked at a fast pace to see everything we needed to in the time available. Given the lack of shade at this site and its scale, I felt this was the perfect amount of time to spend there, so the fast pace is necessary. You do need to keep up with your guide or you may miss some explanations of areas. Bring water and a decent hat, otherwise you can buy these at the entry/exit gates. We climbed to the top of the temple of the moon (the temple of the sun is closed to climbing) which was a challenge, don't underestimate it as you need to be comfortable getting yourself back down afterwards too! I'm really glad I did though as my spine tingled with the thought of what would have happened on top of this colossal structure and the scale of crowds who would have been below looking back up! The view of the entire site from here is breath taking. The temple of Quetzalcoatl is stunningly beautiful. Make sure you separately visit the restored recreation of it at the Museo Nacional de Antropología. We had a small issue with our pickup point (Av. P.º de la Reforma 334), the bus was actually sat waiting for us in the roundabout itself, not in the adjacent side street where the pickup location showed it to be. My advice would be to not be shy and to go and speak to any tour vehicles within 50m. Anyhow, after 10 mins waiting, our guide found us and brought us onboard without further issue. We chose to be dropped off in a different location to where we boarded, using this to our advantage to visit some sites further from our hotel that we hadn't visited so far. So it may be worth considering that, as the first drop off is close to the Palacio des Belles Artes.

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.

Puebla, Cholula & Tonantzintla Day Trip with Optional Lunch

Masrur_K, Apr 2026

So glad we did this...

So glad we did this experience! It was a beautiful place to visit outside of CDMX, and our tour guides Javier and Rene were so knowledgeable and helpful. My only regret is that we didn't have more time in Puebla, but this was a great introduction to this city so next time we come back to Mexico we'll definitely know to spend more time there!

San Miguel de Allende Tour from Mexico City

Vanessa_G, Apr 2026

Great Day Trip to San Miguel de Allende – Long but Worth It

Took a day trip from Mexico City to San Miguel de Allende and overall it was a great experience. The town is beautiful, especially the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel. Special thanks to our guides Ara, Javier, and Pedro, who were knowledgeable and kept everything running smoothly. The only drawback is the long travel time and limited hours in San Miguel—it felt a bit rushed. Still, a good option if you’re short on 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.

Early Access Chapultepec Castle & Anthropology Museum

L_O, Mar 2026

Engaging and Knowledgeable Guided Tour with Jonathan

Our early access tour of Chapultepec Castle and the Anthropology Museum was fantastic. Jonathan provided headsets that made it easy to hear him clearly, and his knowledge brought the history and exhibits to life. The only suggestion would be to include a bit of self-discovery time during the tour, so guests can explore and ask Jonathan for additional commentary. Overall, an enriching and well-organized experience!

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
