Overall, we had such an amazing time thanks to Karen. She’s exceptional and speaks really good English.

    The pyramids were better...

    Jeralyn_B, Feb 2026
    The pyramids were better than anticipated. I enjoyed learning the history from Karen who was our amazing guide. Our lunch stop was very good. The cave wasn't really for me and not at all what I expected. Stopping to try different liquors and shopping was also not for me but the others in the group seemed to enjoy it. Karen was a great guide.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you, Jeralyn, for sharing your thoughts. We're glad you enjoyed the pyramids and Karen's guidance. We strive to offer diverse activities, and your feedback is valuable in tailoring experiences to our guests' preferences.

    Our guide was excellent. He had a good personality and was knowledgeable about the pyramids. Our driver was a great and went very slowly over speed bumps and avoided most pot holes in the road.

    Thank you, Christine, for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the knowledgeable guidance and skilled driving during your tour. We appreciate your feedback and your kind words about our team.

    Must do tour!!!

    Victoria_G, Feb 2026
    I have to say with all the options for tours to Teotihuacán I am very happy I decided for this one. The day prior to the tour, a WhatsApp group was created to let us know the logistics of the tour. I liked that we were picked up where we were staying, they kept us updated on the arrival time and on a small delay due to closed streets which was out of their control. Karen was our guide she was very knowledgeable, fun person, answered all the questions, always attentive to what we needed. Josue was our driver, very capable. I felt safe even when the city traffic can be very chaotic. Even though Teotihuacán can be very busy, I appreciated their planning and the logistics, I felt that by the time we were leaving everyone else was coming which gave us the opportunity to see more. After the pyramids we went to a cave and lunch at a nearby restaurant. Loved visiting the local family who explained how to make pulque and we tried different types of liquors, BUT what I appreciated the most was meeting the father who has worked the obsidian since he was a child, and to see how he transforms a “stone” into art, something unique with a story, not made by a machine. I would definitively recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the pyramids with a small group and don’t feel pressured to buy anything you do not want to.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you, Victoria, for sharing such a detailed and positive experience. We're delighted to hear you appreciated the logistics, guide, driver, and unique cultural stops on your tour. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

    We had a wonderful day with Karen. She was very knowledgeable about the areas we went to and so very personable. Pedro did a great job getting us to where we needed to be despite all the traffic. It was an amazing experience due to them both.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you, Patricia, for your kind words! We're thrilled you had an amazing experience with Karen's expertise and Pedro's dedication. We'll share your compliments with them—they'll appreciate it!

    Great tour!

    Karen, our tour guide was fantastic! She answered our questions and was very knowledgeable. She had a big group and took the time to share some history and had a great sense of humor. Loved seeing the Moon and Sun pyramids.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you, Ixchell, for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and appreciated Karen's expertise and humor. The ancient sites are truly incredible, and we're glad you had a memorable visit.

    Mixed Experience

    Robert_F, Feb 2026
    Some good, some less. The Overview said Max. 15 people, and the Overview describes it as “small group”. In fact we got a msg the night before listing 36 people. Communication with the tour operator was very limited & confusing. They sent 2 vans & 2 guides but never checked our ticket/vouchers and we ended up with only 4 others from our actual group due to the chaos. The descriptions onboard were a mixture of English & Spanish, quickly swapping back and forth which made it very difficult to follow due to the Mexican accented English. The van was air conditioned and comfortable and our guide was very pleasant and kept us informed of our itinerary and progress. Because our group was so large it took longer to move thru the various activities like going up the pyramid stairs, bathroom breaks, winding thru the caves, etc. It was hard to hear our guide unless we were standing very close. In the end we returned to the hotel 1.5 hours late. As we had tickets to the Folkloric Ballet we had less than 30 min. to get ready and leave again. It wasn’t a terrible day, we did enjoy the tour, the cave, and lunch. But in the future I will look for smaller groups, licensed guides with deeper knowledge, and those that use radio/ear bud sound systems.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for highlighting the positive aspects of the tour, such as the comfort of the van and the attentiveness of the guide. We would like to clarify a few points to avoid any confusion. The message sent the night before includes all travelers scheduled for that day; however, guests are organized and operated in separate groups of a maximum of 15 people, exactly as stated in the tour description. This is why multiple vans and guides are assigned, allowing us to maintain small groups throughout the experience. Regarding communication and language, our guides are licensed and adjust their explanations according to the group composition. That said, we truly appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue improving clarity and consistency during the tour. As for timing, this experience includes multiple sites, and external factors such as visitor flow at archaeological areas can impact the overall duration. Our priority is always safety and providing a complete experience without rushing guests unnecessarily. We sincerely value your comments, as they help us continue refining our operations and upholding our commitment to high quality, small group experiences.

    Choose another tour company!

    Lynda_P, Feb 2026
    I decided not to go on this tour. It advertised max 15 people. When I got the email about pick up time there were 36 people listed on the email. Not what I signed up for. I inquired about the numbers and never got an answer from the tour company. I paid for a tour with a different company as I had zero confidence due to lack of communication. I have escalated it to Viator asking for a refund. Poor communication and not keeping groups small as advertised is NOT good customer service.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    This review was written by a guest who did not attend the experience, which makes the content of the comment unclear to us. According to our records, the booking is marked as a no-show, as the guest did not arrive at the pickup point and did not participate in any part of the tour. For this reason, the review is not based on an actual experience with our company. To clarify the point mentioned: the email referenced includes all travelers scheduled for that day, however guests are always divided into separate groups of a maximum of 15 people, exactly as advertised. We do not operate large group tours. We specialize in small-group, premium experiences, with a strong focus on service quality and attention to detail. It’s unfortunate the guest did not join the tour, as she would have been able to see firsthand how the experience is actually delivered. We remain committed to transparency, quality, and the high standards our travelers expect.

    Not much time to climb...

    Brett_L, Feb 2026
    Not much time to climb the pyramid. If that is your main goal and spend a little time maybe leave the tour a little earlier and go to the pyramid

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for your feedback! It’s great advice to plan extra time if the visit to the pyramid is a priority. It can enhance the experience for those focusing on that attraction.

    La Pulke’

    Marvis_V, Feb 2026
    Karen , our tour guide and Juan Carlos our driver were excellent! She knew all the ropes to get us to the pyramids without bucking all the other tourist groups. She got us into and out of a venue before it got crowded. I’d highly recommend her tour because she went above and beyond. She took us to some local stops that other groups didn’t get to do. She made it fun. She’s very knowledgeable and is from that area. I would take family with me next time on her tour.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you, Marvis, for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour with Karen and Juan Carlos. We’re glad they made your experience unique and memorable. We look forward to welcoming you and your family next time!

    Great tour!

    Joyce_C, Jan 2026
    The tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He picked us up where we were staying and the van was comfortable and safe. I also liked that it was a smaller tour group.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you, Joyce, for your kind words! We're thrilled you appreciated the knowledgeable guide, comfortable van, and small group setting. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!

    Karen Victoria was a...

    Iris_C, Dec 2025
    Karen Victoria was a wonderful guide. Very informative and answered all our questions and was very patient with us (my mom is elderly and had to take our time). Our driver was great too and got us there and back safely. Would recommend this tour as it was fun and set a good pace and not too much walking.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you, Karen! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and had a positive experience with Karen Victoria and the driver. Your recommendation means a lot, and we’re glad it suited everyone’s pace comfortably.

    Five Star Tour!!

    Amanda_H, Dec 2024
    Our tour guide gave us great info during our time at the different location spots. He was very kind and helpful for a few people in the group that spoke Korean and did his best to make sure they felt included. He was also very accommodating for my grandma who can barely walk & uses a wheelchair to get around. He even recommended a great restaurant for us to go to after our tour was done. He spokes both English & Soonish, but we preferred Spanish. Would highly recommend this tour.

    Experiencia increible.
