Fantastic trip to Tula and Teotiihuacan

Maeve_P, Aug 2025

Fantastic day out with Bruno our guide and Daniel our driver..They met us at our air BnB and we went to Tula..both were incredibly patient and accommodating. Bruno's breadth and depth of knowledge was super enjoyable to hear about . We even learnt new things about the influence of Ireland on Mexico. We arrived in Tula, got a great history of it and enjoyed the stroll there . We then moved on to a quick but hearty lunch before Teotiihuacan and spent an enjoyable couple of hours there, again Bruno's in depth knowledge was great .. Definitely take this tour, it's worth it ..

An amazing day!

Kim_F, Apr 2025

It was a great day! We are so glad we added Tula in for comparison and historical context. It's also a lot less touristy and crowded than Teotihuacan. Teotihuacan is a mind-blowing site, though! A must do. The tour guide, Jorge, and the driver, Arturo were great. Jorge is a historian, so had a wealth of knowledge and was very warm, patient, and friendly. We stopped at a restaurant and store at the end. The restaurant was really good and had a beautiful view of the pyramids. The store had an interesting lesson on obsidian, but we did feel really pressured to buy something, which I don't like feeling. Overall, a great day!

Well-conceived Tour with Great Guide - Totally Worth It

Drew_T, Feb 2025

The tour was very well planned and gave us rich experiences at two great archeological sites. I am glad we chose a tour that included Tula as well as the more common Teotihuacán. It really added to our understanding of Mesoamerican civilizations, plus going to Tula first lets the early morning crowds at Teotihuacán dissipate, so we had a better experience there as well. Our guide, Carlos, was knowledgeable and so friendly; we really appreciated his passion for the sites we were seeing and all aspects of Mexican history and heritage. We had wide ranging conversation during our drives. It was a great day and we're very glad we did it.

Absolutely fantastic, so glad I did this, better than other tours of the same ruins!

Peter_D, Sep 2024

This was an absolutely fantastic tour. Ramón was the best tour guide I’ve ever had and I’ve been on a LOT of tours. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about Mesoamerican history — at the professor level. I’ve read several books about the history and toured many ruins (including Teotihuacan) before and I still learned so much. This was much better than my last Teotihuacan tour. It was just a total home run, head and shoulders above anything else I did in Mexico. The tour was very efficiently run and both sites, Tula and Teotihuacan, are very well worth the trip. Pickup and drop off were timely and convenient at Reforma (8AM / 4:30PM).

You will experience a lot more with a private tour

We’re were picked up on time in a nice and comfortable Honda at our hotel. We stopped first at Tula and it was unbelievable. The guide’s knowledge was amazing and that actually started in the city with an overview of Mexican history. It was a great day that included a stop for lunch that was delicious and served on an upper terrace. Next was Teotihuacán, it was a little late, but good. Much larger pyramids the expanse of which isn’t touched. Pro tip, ask about stopping at the third pyramid!

Perfect Day Trip to the Pyramids

Joseph_H, Nov 2023

The tour guide (Carlos) and driver were both wonderful! Would highly recommend this tour to the pyramids.

Fascinating Day

Michael_D, Feb 2023

A really great day seeing two amazing sites. Our driver and guide were timely, knowledgeable and good company. Everything ran to plan and we have great memories of our time at these important monuments.

Excellent day in this private tour

Ed_K, Feb 2023

Our tour guide and driver (duo) picked us up in a private van. Very nice ride, excellent tour guide (Carlos), and the day was just made very easy. We went at our own pace, the van was waiting for us at the exits at each stop, admission prices included, end of the day meal included (drinks and tip not included with the meal).

Awesome

Edgar_I, Aug 2022

Luis and Veronica were great guides they brought these sacred places to life with their knowledge and stories. They made the experience fun and enjoyable. Definitely would recommend this trip to anyone willing to visit and learned about these sacred sites.

Great tour!

Thomas_M, Jun 2022

Great trip with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide! We saw lots of beautiful sights and enjoyed the tour

Take this tour!

Mark_J, Feb 2022

Both sites were very interesting - Arturo was a knowledgeable and excellent guide. Food at the lunch restaurant was average. Definitely recommend this tour if you are visiting Mexico City.

Sites a voir mais visite trop rapide

Nathalie_F, Dec 2022

Les deux sites sont intéressants mais il y a trop de temps perdu en transit (les sites sont assez loin l un de l autre). Nous avons bien visité Tula, mais avons du courir a Teotihuacan car le site ferme a 4h30. Nous n avions qu une heure pour le visiter, ce qui est largement insuffisant. Chaque site devrait être une excursion séparée.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hello, We carry out this tour of 2 archaeological sites that are located at a considerable distance of 135 km. between each other and it is done by highway, we recommend leaving at 8:00 am, in this way you can appreciate the 2 sites with enough time. We also include lunch in the tour that is recommended to be done after the visit of the archaeological zone of Teotihuacan , sometimes if the travelers request it, the order is altered and consequently the time of the visit of the archaeological site is reduced.
