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.

Our guide, Yair, was fantastic. He had so much knowledge and was happy to take any questions, and had answers for those too!

Magical visit. Perfect for anthropology enthusiasts. Our tour guide was English speaking and very informative. She also looked out for our safety and well being. Never was there any confusion or misinformation. Overall and an awesome experience and I highly recommend. Take note if you have mobility issues or heart problems the walk / stairs could be challenging.

An item that was left on the bus was never returned - even though we were told it was going to be returned . I would have appreciated an honest answer and not just s lie to appease us .
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We sincerely apologize for your experience regarding the item that was left on the bus. We completely understand how frustrating it is to lose a personal belonging and not receive it back.
We would like to clarify that, from the moment we were informed about the item, our team made efforts to locate it and coordinate its return. At no point was there any intention to mislead you or provide false information simply to appease the situation. The information shared with you was based on what we knew at the time and on our genuine intention to help.
Unfortunately, despite the attempts made to arrange the return of the item, we were unable to complete the process as expected. We deeply regret the outcome and understand your disappointment.
Thank you for your feedback. It helps us improve both our procedures and our communication with future guests.

Yair and Omar did an excellent job. Omar took us there and back safely. Yahir was our guide, he was so attentive and impressively knowledgeable. I am watched several documentaries about Teotihuacan and yet Yair managed to teach me knew things about the site and culture of the people who once lived here. We also had plenty of questions that he was able to answer on the spot. I appreciate that the round tour is direct. They were mindful to stop prior we arrived to the site for restrooms and snacks. I also appreciate the schedule and logistics of the tour. We get to see every landmark in a comfortable flow.
Once again. Thank you Yair and Omar. I’d definitely recommend this tour.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you had such a great experience and that Yair and Omar did an excellent job. Omar will be very happy to know that his safe and professional driving made your journey comfortable from start to finish, and Yair will greatly appreciate your kind words about his attentiveness and impressive knowledge. It makes us especially proud to know that even with your previous knowledge of Teotihuacan, you were still able to learn new things and deepen your appreciation for the site and the culture of its people.
We’re also glad to hear that you appreciated the tour’s direct route, thoughtful restroom and snack stop, and the overall schedule and logistics that allow guests to enjoy every landmark at a comfortable pace. Reviews like yours inspire us to keep delivering high-quality experiences.

Jim_N, May 2026
The tour promised to avoid tourist traps, and that is correct. However, we didn't see any message saying to bring sunscreen and that water would not be provided. When we arrived at the site the tour guide covered himself with sunscreen and then warned us that if we didn't bring any, we'd have to purchase it at overinflated prices at the site.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience.
We would just like to mention that all travelers receive a message one day before the tour with important recommendations, including bringing sunscreen, water, comfortable shoes, and a hat due to the strong sun exposure at the archaeological site.
It’s possible the message may have been missed, but we do make sure to send these recommendations to help everyone be prepared and comfortable during the experience.
We truly appreciate your comments and will continue improving our communication to make the information even clearer for future travelers.
Ryan_F, May 2026
A really easy way to see Teotihuacan. Yair and Ruben did a great job explaining everything we were seeing. I feel like without a guide I would have missed a lot (there’s not very much signage at the site). Omar, the driver, got us out there and back safely in a comfortable bus.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re very happy to hear that your visit to Teotihuacán was comfortable, well organized, and truly enriching.
It means a lot to know that Yair and Rubén helped bring the history and meaning of the site to life, and that Omar made sure you traveled safely and comfortably throughout the journey.

Julio Cesár was a fantastic guide. Engaging, patient, thorough and funny! He did a great job of making sure our kids (8 & 5) had a good tour, as well as making sure to accommodate those in our tour group that had more limited mobility. The transportation to and from the site was comfortable and prompt. We'd definitely recommend this tour to those wanting to visit Teotihuacán!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re truly happy to hear that Julio César made your visit so enjoyable and memorable. His energy, patience, sense of humor, and passion for history are what make him such a special guide, and it means a lot to know he made sure both your children and every member of the group felt comfortable and included throughout the tour.
We’re also glad to hear the transportation was comfortable and punctual. Feedback like yours motivates us to continue creating authentic and memorable experiences in Teotihuacan.
Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to Mexico again soon! 🇲🇽
Jacque_G, May 2026
Our tour guides, Immanuel, Yari, and bus driver, Omar, combined to make our Teotihuacan experience easy, educational, enjoyable, and entertaining. Immanuel was our host on the bus, explaining information clearly and completely. Yari was our walking tour guide and he was convincing in his explanation of ancient life. He was enthusiastic, easy to understand, and answered all of our questions. Omar was a cautious, competent driver and we felt safe in his care. The bathroom stop at the well furnished Pemex was a completely welcome surprise. I will return to viator.com for future adventures. My highest gratitude and appreciation of work well done. Thank you!
Response from Host, May 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
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your comment! We’re delighted to hear that you experienced Teotihuacan as such an awe-inspiring place.

We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again on another experience!
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.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you very much for your review! We’re happy to hear that the guide took great care of you and provided such a great experience. We also appreciate you mentioning the physical level required, as it’s very helpful for future travelers.
With the stairs, walking, and heat, it can be a bit demanding—but as you said, it’s absolutely worth it!
Thank you for your recommendation! We hope to welcome you again very soon.
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.
Providing a comfortable experience focused on the history and culture of Teotihuacan is very important to us, so it means a lot to know that Marifer, Ruben, and Omar did a great job. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with them 🙌
We also truly appreciate your feedback about having a bit more time at the site and the museum visit. 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 🇲🇽✨

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..
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hello, thank you very much for sharing your experience.
We would like to clarify that our tours are designed to balance travel time, necessary comfort breaks, and the overall experience at the archaeological site. The stops you mentioned are typically intended for rest, restroom use, or simply to stretch after the journey.
Regarding the time at the site, our goal is to optimize the visit so you can explore the most important areas of Teotihuacan with a guided explanation, while also having time to walk around and climb permitted areas.
That said, we truly value your feedback, as it helps us continue improving and adjusting timings when needed.
We sincerely appreciate your comments.

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!
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!
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! 🙌
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! 🙌
