A Perfect Experience - This was perfect. Christopher was an incredible tour guide. The included lunch was unbelievable. This is by far the best tour to the pyramids. I researched them all this us for what they provide the best one.

Good tour if you can get the information out of the guide - All in all a good but not great tour. The price is fair. The length of the tour was good except that in Teotihuacan an extra hour should is a must, as the site is too big to get to know in only 2 hours. The tour guide was friendly enough and knowledgeable when asked, but the communication skills and the frequency of the commentary were lacking. Especially in Teotihuacan, where only one hour was spent with the guide. We were a small group and everyone was friendly. Transport was comfortable. Staff were accommodating. Pros: Content of the tour (Teotihuacan, Basilica, Obsidian workshop etc.) Organization Lunch Price Cons: Communication skills of our guide Short stay at Teotihuacan

The Xoconostle fan - Even though we started an hour and a half later and then had to wait for some lost companions, the experience was very nice and did not feel at all rushed. Excellent explanations and really that the experience was very nice.

Great Guide and Driver – But Van Was Very Uncomfortable - Great Guide and Driver – But Van Was Very Uncomfortable. Charlie, our tour guide, and Ellie, the driver, were FANTASTIC and incredibly friendly. Charlie was full of insightful information and seemed to know everything about each site we visited. His enthusiasm and knowledge really made the experience enjoyable. However, I do have a couple of suggestions to improve the overall tour experience: 1. Comfort of the Tour Van: The vehicle was extremely cramped and uncomfortable. It felt like we were packed in like sardines, which made the travel between locations unpleasant. A more spacious and comfortable tour bus would make a big difference, especially for longer tours. 2. Complimentary Water: It would be greatly appreciated to have bottled water available, especially when touring areas that involve a lot of walking under the sun. After visiting the pyramids in the blazing heat, many of us were dehydrated until we reached the restaurant and could finally get something to drink. Aside from those issues, we had a great day and truly appreciated Charlie and Ellie’s efforts. Their professionalism and friendliness really stood out!

The tour was average. The... - The tour was average. The sites were wonderful, but our guide, Manuel, was not very interesting. Seemed like he had memorized the history and was just rattling it off. His English was a little hard to understand, and the Spanish language explanations were much longer than the English ones. He also did not take us to the pyramid of the serpents at Teotihuacan. At the Basilica, we had to ask for some free time to visit the old chapel as he was leaving without taking us there. That should definitely be included in the tour. The time spent at the shops was excessive, it would have been better to spend that time at the Basilica. Also, it would have been better to go to Teotihuacan first to avoid the afternoon sun/heat, and do the Plaza of Three Cultures later.
