    It was a beautiful experience visiting the pyramids during the excursion. Having a meal in the grotto made it even more special. Our guide explained every corner of the site in great detail, which made the whole experience truly unforgettable.

    Good tour

    Maikel_R, Apr 2026
    Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Pick up from our hotel was on time. Tour was around three hours, which was the perfect tempo for us. In this three hours you visit the sun, moon and serpent temple.

    Emanuel was great....

    Emanuel was great. Learned lots about the history of the pyramids and was just the right amount of walking.

    Visiting the Teotihuacán ruins

    Mark_W, Apr 2026
    Visiting the Teotihuacán ruins is an awe-inspiring day trip from Mexico City that feels like stepping back into a massive, ancient metropolis. Known as the "place where the gods were created," this UNESCO World Heritage site is famous for its monumental architecture and mysterious origins

    Excellent guide who...

    Robert_B, Apr 2026
    Excellent guide who really looked after us. Definitely requires a certain level of fitness (lots of stairs and walking in high heat) but it's an amazing tour.

    Great tour and great guides!

    Adam_A, Apr 2026
    I booked this tour here after exploring a few different options and platforms. Someone I spoke to did a tour with a different company and had a poor experience, with it being long, poorly explained, and filled with many stops to tourist traps. However, this tour with Experiencias Mexicanas was quite the opposite. The bus they took us on was quite spacious and nice. They were very punctual, being the first company to pick up from their group from the location I chose. And all the staff, Marifer, Reuben, and Omar were wonderful. Reuben was our English speaking tour guide and he was knowledgeable and passionate about Teotihuacan. It was great having a guide who really cared for the subject. And no tourist trap stops, but plenty of time at the archaelogical site (about 3 hours). There are some areas I would have loved if we had maybe 30+ more minutes to explore total at the site. And I was very curious about the museum and wish we had the chance visit it. But these are minor things. I'd highly recommend booking your tour with this company!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! 😊 We’re really happy to hear that after exploring different options, you chose us and had a well-organized, punctual tour without tourist trap stops.

We’re always looking for ways to improve and your suggestions help us do that. Thank you again for your recommendation—we hope to welcome you back again soon 🇲🇽✨

    Lots of breaks

    sallyh1408, Apr 2026
    After a long journey, we stopped twice to go to the shop. within less than an hour, and then another 20-minute break to climb, and then a third 20-minute break to climb again..

    Great Experience!! Read Review for Helpful Info...

    Dianne_W, Mar 2026
    We very much enjoyed our tour!! Here's what we wished we'd known beforehand and so it might help you enjoy it even more: 1) The bus pickup will be prompt. There is some information given on the bus, but not by the guide you will have for the tour itself. 2) We recommend to bring water and snacks since none are provided, but you can buy them before the tour starts and use the restroom which will be the only time until the end of the tour. 3) The tour includes a good amount of walking over cobblestones and up and down steep stairs, about 3k in total, so wear sturdy, comfortable shoes. 4) Other than the time with the guide (David was GREAT!), we had 30 minutes to climb/explore at the Pyramid of the Moon, 20 minutes at the Pyramid of the Sun (no climbing, more to shop) and 15 minutes at the Pyramid of the Feather Serpent (you might get more, I think we were running long since our tour was spoken in both English and Spanish) 5) Bathrooms and limited snack options to buy at the end of the tour. Our guide David was very enthusiastic, friendly, helpful and informative and seamlessly went from English to Spanish.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and helpful review! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with our guide David. It’s wonderful to know that his enthusiasm, friendliness, and ability to seamlessly switch between English and Spanish made your experience even better. We also truly appreciate your recommendations, as they will definitely help future travelers be better prepared. As you mentioned, our departures are punctual out of respect for all guests, and we always suggest bringing water, snacks, and wearing comfortable shoes due to the walking involved at the archaeological site. We’re glad you enjoyed each part of the visit, as well as the time to explore on your own. We would love to welcome you again on another experience with us!

    Great tour. Incredible experience.

    thomas_d, Mar 2026
    We visited Teotihuacan on the short tour with no additional stops. If this is what you’re looking for, this was perfect. It’s about a 40 seat bus. It picked us up in Roma, made a couple of stops in town to pick up others, then headed off. I’m going to make a special note here for our tour guide, Yair. Knowledgeable, engaging, and just had a ton of positive energy. The tour itself is just over two hours with a few breaks for you to climb the pyramid of the sun and explore other areas on your own.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the no-stop tour and that it was exactly what you were looking for. At Experiencias Mexicanas, we focus on providing direct, comfortable, and well-organized experiences so you can make the most of your time at Teotihuacan. We’re especially glad to hear that Yair made your visit memorable. His knowledge, energy, and passion for history are exactly what we aim to deliver in every tour. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon. Thank you for recommending us!

    Wonderful tour of the pyramids and adjacent palaces

    Matthias_W, Mar 2026
    Excellent half day tour with Emanuel, who made sure to let us know about all details concerning the vast site of Theotihuacan. It was not too rushed, thus that people of all ranges of fitness could enjoy the views from the top of the pyramid as well. We saw frescoes and reliefs of the palaces as well. Since this tour is a half day, the museums were not psrtbof the visit (keep in mind that the site is so large that you need a full day covering a walking distance of 7-8 km sjould you want to do all there is)

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 😊 We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Emanuel. His knowledge and passion truly make a big difference in bringing Teotihuacán to life. It’s great to know that the pace of the tour felt comfortable for everyone and that you were able to enjoy both the pyramid views and the beautiful details like frescoes and palace reliefs. As you mentioned, the site is विशाल, and a half-day tour is perfect to see the highlights without feeling rushed. We would love to welcome you again in the future to explore even more of this amazing place. Thank you for recommending us! 🙌

    Overall, it was a great...

    Scott_M, Mar 2026
    Overall, it was a great experience. The tour group was small, with about 15 people, which I really appreciated. The guide was excellent and clearly very knowledgeable about the area’s history. He seemed genuinely passionate about the subject and did a great job sharing the stories behind the sites. The only awkward part was at the beginning of the tour. When we were picked up, we were brought to a generic van, and after simply asking for our names, neither the driver nor the organizer said anything further or acknowledged the group. This left everyone feeling a bit confused and uncomfortable during the hour plus ride. It would have been helpful if they had at least explained what was happening or what to expect. Fortunately, once we arrived and the guide took over, the atmosphere improved and the tour became very enjoyable.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us! 😊 We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour overall, especially the small group size and the excellent work of the guide. His passion and knowledge truly make a big difference in bringing the history of the site to life. We sincerely apologize for the awkward experience at the beginning of the tour. We completely understand how important clear communication is from the very start to help everyone feel comfortable and informed. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will use it to improve the coordination and communication during the pickup process. We’re happy to know that once the guide took over, the experience improved and you were able to fully enjoy the tour. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide an even smoother experience from start to finish. Thank you for your trust! 🙌
