This was a fantastic tour. Very communicative guides. Hugo was a great driver on a difficult day of driving (markets closed off streets). Gerry was extremely kind, knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout the tour of Teotihuacan - we learned so much!
It was an early wake up but they made a stop halfway to Teotihuacan which was a great touch for anyone needing the restroom, coffee or snacks. Water and snack were provided for the drive home.

Take some walking shoes, a hat, and enjoy! Our guide Max was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We went up the first level to the Pyramid of the Moon and it was quite a workout! It's quite steep and scary, but exhilarating. Most of the souvenir vendors accept credit cards and of pesos. I took the half-day tour, which was enough time to enjoy the ancient site. I highly recommend it.

Max was our tour guide with Ali as our driver. Both were excellent. Max was very professional and helpful taking questions.

This tour was exactly what we wanted. It was informative, a small group, got an early start, and it didn’t take up the whole day. Our guide Maria and driver Mario were great. Maria shared a lot of very interesting facts and she was excellent about keeping us on schedule.
I would do this tour again.
Ryan_R, May 2026
Maria was great, very helpful and knowledgable and funny. Communication, pick up and drop off were very easy - overall, the tour was perfect if you are trying to pack a bunch of CDMX sightseeing into a brief time!

Juan and Lalo were great!! We learned a lot and had a great time! The trip was quick and enjoyable. We were glad we picked a tour with a guide. Thanks!

Amazing to see this ancient history come to life. So glad we toured before the crowds. Quite warm with intense sun. Raul was a fantastic guide and Mr Allan a great driver. There were 12 of us squeezed into a small van so the kind drive was hard for those of us 4 across the back seat.
Terrence_R, Apr 2026
This is exactly what we wanted, right sized information about the history of the temples. Eduardo was such a great host and guide! He was super knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We had a great time afterwards at La Gruta. It was a great food experience but also the ambience was the perfect way to end the tour. If you want to see the temples at Teotihuacán, ask for Eduardo.

Raúl was an awesome guide and made our visit to Teotihuacán really memorable. He knows so much about the history and culture, but explains everything in a super easy, interesting way that never feels overwhelming. On top of that, he’s incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. You can tell he really enjoys what he does, and it shows throughout the tour. I’d definitely recommend Raúl if you’re looking for a great, engaging visit to Teotihuacán.
cristina_h, Apr 2026
Raul was a great guide. It is a trip that needs a guide. There aren’t too many explanations that you can read on your own. He was informative and concise
Suzy_S, Apr 2026
This was one of the highlights of our trip! Ara was an exceptional guide and we got there right at opening, which was amazing. The quick restroom stops were appreciated and the temples were beautiful. This was the perfect amount of time that allowed us to come back for an open afternoon!
Jordan_B, Apr 2026
Excellent group. Timely pick up, knowledgeable, and friendly. Highly recommend! Thank you for the experience.
HOILUN_T, Apr 2026
The tour guide was enthusiastic and it’s the only tour I have joined so far in Mexico without any tourist shopping trap
Michael_D, Apr 2026
We had a wonderful time and Aline and Juan did a great job with the tour. Aline is extremely knowledgeable.
Nancy_G, Apr 2026
Gerry was such a great and polite guide. He was clear with the information- very informative. And the driver was efficient getting us to our destinations on time. Would highly recommend
Helene_G, Apr 2026
Great tour with Aàron. Perfect for those who want an early start to beat the crowds. We were back to town by midday. Very well organised!
Kristen_B, Apr 2026
We had a great experience! They picked us up from our hotel, stopped for a snack/water, and gave us the best tour and were super informative. April and Hugo were a great team. I would book again and again when I come back to Mexico City!
Puja_B, Apr 2026
Beautiful day to go explore the pyramids. Our guide Aaron was very knowledgeable and showed us a great time. Pick up was on time. Communication was spot on. I would 100% recommend this tour to all.
Amy_H, Mar 2026
Fantastic way to see Teotihuacan in half a day. Mich our guide was great, very communicative about pickups and knowledgeable about Teotihuacan and helped to take pictures for us. The tour went for around 2 hours and we had 15 mins of free time to buy souvenirs or wander around. The tour also makes a stop at a service station on the way if anyone needs to purchase coffee, snacks or go to the bathroom. There is no pressure to purchase anything it’s just there for convenience. Highly recommend if you want to see Teotihuacan without all the other tourist stops.
Lisa_P, Mar 2026
Totally worth the early morning hour. All went smoothly and definitely recommend this tour when in CDM.
Erin_B, Mar 2026
Morning trip was fantastic. Great tour guide Raul who was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Easy ride to and from site. Great service, highly recommend.
KatherineT_C, Mar 2026
Our tour guide Michel was wonderful. All the information was presented clearly with her added visual details on her iPad. We appreciated being picked up at our front door with updates on timing as well as a pleasant ride with fun cultural and social facts en route.
Barbara_L, Mar 2026
Convenient, comprehensive and professional. A great way to visit the Pyramids in a small group setting that doesn’t take all day and doesn’t get caught up in traffic and the heat of the day.
Regina_C, Mar 2026
Everything as advertised, smooth pick up and drop off, knowledgeable guide, and great experience to go early and experience climbing and walking around.
Matteo_B, Mar 2026
Gerry was an amazing guide. He is very prepared and engaged with all the guests in 2 languages. I couldn't ask for a better tour to see the pyramids and efficiently come back at my hotel before midday. I 100% recommend this tour.
Christine_N, Mar 2026
I really liked that it was early and that we got to be there before it got very crowded. Our tour guide, April, was very knowledgeable, personable, and communicated clearly with us the whole time. I also liked that we could be picked up at our hotel— made it very convenient to travel with my older parents. Just as a heads up, there’s no food option on the express tour but you do stop at a gas station on the way there for drinks and snacks. I really enjoyed it, and my parents really enjoyed it so I can’t complain. I would bring pesos to buy souvenirs but card is accepted, too
Just want to reiterate that April was a phenomenal guide and I would do this trip again!
Paul_W, Mar 2026
Early start to avoid the crowds but they did include a stop along the way to get a coffee and quick snack. Very informative and detailed explanations provided about the culture and history of the site.
Alison_G, Mar 2026
We had a great experience with Eduardo and Mexican Tales! He was a knowledgeable guide, making the tour interactive and very informative. In addition to a great time at the ruins, we got there in a timely manner and even stopped on the way for coffee. He picked us up and dropped us off at our Bnb when done.
Conner_T, Mar 2026
Avril was the best tour guide everrrrrr!!
So much fun & educational.
Best way to experience the pyramids, avoid tourist traps, and the crowds. Perfect amount of time. So convenient and communicative during pick, and throughout the entire process.
Shout out to our driver for safely getting us all there in one piece!
Jessica_H, Mar 2026
Was an awesome experience. Our guide was Raul. He was very knowledgeable. Very friendly. The bus ride was smooth. Stopped at a gas station on the way, was able to buy drinks and snacks.
