Fascinating, family-friendly, and comfortable! - Mónica was exceptional! She was playful and patient with my young sons, bringing special bingo-style sheets to engage them. Her expertise brought the history and culture to life.

Very interesting tour of Teotihuacan, curated by an excellent guide. - Our guide, Noe, knew the subject matter extremely well, and understood how to present it in a way that was informative but not overwhelming. He deserves full credit for our 5 star rating of the tour.

Book this great tour. - We got off to a slow start but we had a great tour with Diana. She knows everything there is to know about Teotihuacan and kept us moving. She even took us to a great restaurant for a quick lunch. Thank you, Diana!

Incredibly Informative, personalized tour - My daughter and I had a great experience on this tour. We were picked up at our hotel at 7:00 which was a huge perk given that we weren’t staying near one of the usual pick up sites. Our guide was incredibly informative, and even brought books to illustrate certain points and taught us so much. I have been on the large group tours in Mexico before and wanted a more direct and private tour with no stopping at souvenir stands, etc… We did make one stop on the way out, but that was by our choice to get pastries as our hotel breakfast had not opened. I would highly recommend this tour if you want a personalized, private experience, and if you are interested in a more in depth education on what you are seeing.

Very good experience! I say: books! - Clara is a fantastic, patient guide with a lot of knowledge and experience. In addition, she is a fine, friendly and helpful personality. The taxi driver Fernando is a friendly gentle man and a real gentleman. In short: this is highly recommended. You get information that really adds value.

Excellent and very... - Excellent and very professional tour. Highly recommend visiting Teotihuacan if you're in Mexico City. It's fascinating and quite spectacular. Our guide was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Door to door transportation was very comfortable and saved a lot of time versus shared/public options. Our guide was friendly and knowledgable, and provided quite a bit of interesting information about Mexico City on the drive, though a bit more historical context at the pyramids would have been appreciated.
