Great tour. Knowledgeable guide and lunch was amazing. - We had a great time on the tour. The guides are super knowledgeable. They really have a passion for anthropology and archaeology and that really came through how they were teaching us about the history of the pyramids.
Lunch was out of this world. Some of the best we’ve ever had.
Highly highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful tour of Teotihuacan with super knowledgeable guides and warm family accomodations - We had a wonderful guided trip with Gabriel and Hugo, They are very knowledgeable about the history of the area, and happy to answer any additional questions. We had already visited the Museo Nacional de Anthropologia earlier in the week, which was very helpful introduction. As a side note, they mentioned the movie “Museo”, based on the 1985 heist. We later watched the movie in the evening and it was interesting because of the many references to the museum, but it is fiction, not a documentary of the actual events. Gabriel and Hugo’s family was also very welcoming and accommodating in their home, where we were served breakfast and delicious lunch, homemade mole, followed by pulque tasting. We were with a group in a comfortable van and safe driver.

Excellent Warm and informative tour - The wife and I took this tour this Christmas. It greatly exceed expectations. We were picked up at a convenient location and stopped at the family home. We were warmly greeted had Café de olla en pan dulce and proceeded to Teotihuacán. Our guide Gabriel was extremely knowledgeable and spend time with all of us in the group, answering questions, and providing context to what we were seeing the pyramids are, of course, an amazing place, but it was extremely helpful to have a guide to interpret what we were seeing, and understand context. After the tour we returned to the family home. We had a wonderful lunch with two different types of mole and sampled. Many different Pulques and again weren’t quite a bit about pulque and culture. We’ve loved meeting the family and felt extremely at home. My wife and I have traveled quite a bit. And this is one of the best tour experiences we’ve ever had. We both highly recommend this.

Most exceptional tour! Highly recommend! - This was, without question, the most exceptional tour I’ve ever experienced. The guides’ depth of knowledge and passion for the region elevated the journey far beyond what we could have discovered on our own. The visit to the abuelos’ home for coffee and refreshments offered a warm, genuine glimpse into local life, while the later stop for mole and pulque — with the entire family participating — was a truly unforgettable highlight. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making this an extraordinary experience I would recommend to anyone.

Highlight of my trip to CDMX - This is the best thing we did in Mexico City (and we had done lots of great things). The guides, two brothers, are extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. Visiting the family home with their delicious home-cooked meal and agave spirit tasting was a fabulous experience, like no other. This is a tour not to be missed.

Wonderful Teotihuacán Tour! - We loved this tour with the brothers! They are passionate about sharing the Teotihuacán history and their own culture. We also loved meeting their parents and the meal cooked by their mother & grandmother was delicious. The pulque tasting was both interesting & tasty! The brothers are good drivers too (very welcome after many crazy Mexico City Uber drivers!).

My Catcat and Moana experience - I had a lovely time with Tung. I never rode a motorbike before and she made me feel confident. She is nice and polite. She loves her job and took me to different places and took lots of photos. Thanks again Tung.

Welcome to the family - We have just come back from this amazing tour! If you are looking for an informative, friendly experience, do not look any further!
You start the day meeting in Condesa at the park and you will be picked up by very well cared for new vans. Hugo and Gabriel are a fantastic guides! We had Hugo doing the tour today and his archeological knowledge is second to none. He was also prepared with an iPad to show us amazing facts about everything we visited which really helped your understanding of the temples and the civilisation which used to live there.
He was very caring in leading us to the best spots and some great advice to see the best of the sites.
The tour is also a stop to his grandma ‘s house. And yes it is! We had a great breakfast in the way there wirh sweet bread fruits coffees hot chocolate and on your way back we also enjoyed a traditional meal of two types of Mole. We finally discovered also Pulque but also the distilled one which was served as tasters.
This was an amazing tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it. To another time soon. Muchas gracias
