The experience was really worth it. Even if it is not on the typical tourist parcour, I highly recommend it, showing a rare Toltec ruins. Armando is the friendly guide of this tour and knows a lot about the history of this place and it's context. In this tour, I've learned more in than I've learned in my visits of Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza. With time, I'm pretty sure it will become an essential element of visit of Quetetaro. I recommand !

This ancient site is a new must see, the pyramid was only cleared of vegitation and the museum built since 2000. Our guide Armando is pasionate about sharing the story and legend of this history making site. Armando also does a tour of the historic center of Santiago de Queretaro where he shares the rich history of its people, its enemies and allies, and its development over the years.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Without him we would have simply walked up to the pyramid, taken a photo, then left. He immersed us into the life and culture of the period.

This is not just for sightseeing. Armando the guide, has a deep understanding of the history and culture of the time. Be ready to yo hear endless bits of interedting information.

Armando was an excellent tour guide. My husband and I asked so many questions and he was great about answering everything. His English is excellent so, if you are visiting from the US, Canada, Australia, or the UK you will be in great hands. If we were staying longer we would have signed up for his historic Queretero tour. Very knowledgeable.

Talking about the site and going through the museum with Armando before walking up to the pyramid added so much flavor to what you will see and provides context with the more famous sites within Mexico.

Armando was super knowledgeable and shared historical significance of ancient civilizations and how they all influenced each other in great detail!
Highly recommended over simply walking the site without his guidance.

This was such a lovely tour! I learned so much from Armando—it made the museum and the site so much more interesting than if I had just gone myself. Highly, highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn more about Aztec history!!

It was our first time visiting a pyramid. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave us an amazing introduction to the history of Mexico and the mysteries of Tolteca-Chichimecas. Now we are better able to appreciate and understand the symbolisms behind some of the cultural artifacts of a lost civilization.

The tour guide, Armando, speaks both Spanish and English fluently and is easy to understand. He does a great job explaining the history and the culture of the indigenous people that lived in the Queretaro region. He also relates the history to modern day Mexico. I learned a lot of new information and highly recommend this tour with Armando.

It was about a full hour in the museum where Armando describes the history of the area and artifacts found. Then you spend about another hour outside the museum walking the grounds as you approach the pyramid. Armando knows the history well and is able to point out features that you would otherwise not have noticed and expands on them with historical reference. He has an excitement about the history and Queretaro that you feel in his story telling. Would highly recommend to those that enjoy the history of the area and of Mexico itself.
I went on a hot afternoon, highly recommend bringing a hat and a water bottle.
Thank you Amando

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He told us so many details that our experience was excellent. Yes, I will recommend to family and friends.

Our guide Armondo, introduced us to the fascinating world that Mexico before the arrival of the Spanish. For us who had only heard of Mayans and Aztecs we were amazed at the scale of the many kingdoms that lived and fought for control of this area, especially the Toltecas who had built the pyramid we experienced.
Armando’s explanation of the way that the Spanish dealt with the many kingdoms as they set about to bring them into an enduring alliance was far beyond anything we had understood. One of the major pleasures of this tour was that Armondo shattered many of the prejudices that we had held about the Spanish in Mexico. If only the British and French had behaved in this way in early dealing with the indigenous people of my country.
