Jenny is the absolute best!
Jenny was absolutely AMAZING! She is so knowledgeable and was so open to answering any questions we had. She was open to letting us see some things that were outside of the regular tour (we got to see a prosession!) she’s so good at speaking and explaining the history, I was so riveted by her storytelling that I didn’t want to leave her at the end of the tour! Thank you so much Jenny<3 You’re so amazing at what you do and we would recommend this tour to everyone. Best tour EVER!

We had a great tour with Gabriel! He was very knowledgeable and led us around the area, filling us in on the history of Mexico City. He was excellent at changing the route to accommodate protests in the area and construction for FIFA. It was a great introduction to the city in our first morning here!

Great food tour!
What a great tour! Loved the part in the market. Such a different experience. Angel was a great guide sharing history along with his passion for food. Our 9 yr old tried almost everything on the tour and we found it to be very family friendly. We went back to a few spots later in the week to eat more.
One thing I didn’t like is that someone was running very late on our tour and we didn’t start until she arrived. I wish that we would have started and she could have just joined later (the 1st tasting is at the meeting spot). This is no fault of Angel’s at but maybe a note for the company.

Incredible experience
Bucket list experience for me. It lived up to everything I was hoping for. The entire day from pick up, the walking tour, climbing temples and shopping at local vendors was amazing. I would highly suggest using this operator if you’re looking for a hands off approach to exploring this site. Our guide Yair was fantastic. Very professional, personable, and knowledgeable.

Bucket list item - check!
A full day experience. It's tiring, but worth it.
Very well organized and a lot of fun. A few things to note that I wish I knew before.
- The balloons are huge, and there are more than 20 people on the ride. Your group is placed in small sections of 4-5 adults in each. There's not much room to move around.
- The vans are a little old and very bumpy, especially in the back. If you get car sick, be careful.
- The "bread and coffee" before the balloon ride - it was muffins (with NUTS), cookies, and sweet coffee. FYI, in case you have to watch your sugar intake or have food allergies.
- It's cool/cold in the morning, especially while waiting for the balloon to fill up. While in the balloon, it's windy, but the heat from the fire is also hot. It gets very warm during the late morning pyramid hike. LAYER your clothing, and bring a hat/sunscreen for the second part of the excursion. You can leave your items in the van at each stop. Note, you're not allowed to bring anything on the balloon, even a small purse.
- The breakfast at the cave is beautiful and delicious (chilaquiles or omelets). They have vegetarian and vegan options, too. Just ask.
- During the market/mezcal tasting. If you like the Obsidian stone items, purchase them there. I thought I could find it back in CDMX, but I couldn't find it easily in the city.

Highly recommend
My daughter who dislikes tours loved this one. Having a private guide was great. Arturo kept the pace going and we saw so much and yet learned a ton. It was a great way to see such a huge museum and still leave feeling like you got to see all the highlights and more. Arturo is very entertaining and knowledgeable. He’s a former lucha libre wrestler and an archeologist

Amazing experience.
Ismael was the best tour guide you could’ve asked for. I’m a solo traveler who was paired with a group of four who knew each other. He made sure I was part of every conversation and had a good time. Not to mention his distinct knowledge of Mezcal and tacos. I’ve never drank or tasted anything like I’ve had on the tour. There’s no amount of money that would change how passionate he is about either Mezcal or tacos. I recommend you take this tour over any of the other ones out there.

Enedina, our guide, was on time and a very good driver. She clearly has a passion for the history of Teotihuacan and she did a great job of passing that knowledge on to us. We felt she was very knowledgeable and kind. We would definitely love to have her guide us again and we recommend her and this tour.

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.

The combination of...
The combination of bicycle and tacos is a beautiful partnership. Couple this with Michelin tacos, stunning Mexico City, and attentive, informative and friendly guides, you will not go wrong. The places picked were all delicious in their own unique way. I also doubt that we would have ever experienced each place (or ordered correctly) without this tour. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured we got to each spot together. My wife and I highly recommend this scenic and tasty way to discovery the moon's navel.

Go early and be amazed by the sights
What a great day trip from Mexico City! In February Scarlet took my family of three for a wonderful tour of Teotihuacan. Pick up at our hotel helped make the early start easy. She was incredibly knowledgable about Teotihuacan and how it's mysterious history connected to ancient culture. The tour was well-organized, go early to skip crowds and heat.

Great tour. Francisco was an awesome tour guide. Not only was he very informative but he had the answer each time I asked a question, demonstrating his depth of knowledge. My recommendation is to book the tour for Monday to Thursday to avoid the tourist crowds. We booked ours for Tuesday for this exact reason and it paid off. The 16 passenger van had only 4 people in it! This was essentially a private tour as we made friends with the other party of 2.
