A great day out - A great experience start to finish. Initial contact and payment process with Diane was seamless and easy. Driver Edgar was a great guy. Showed up on time to pick us up @ hotel and was very good on the 1 hour drive of pointing out some key items on the route. For the remainder of the day our tour guide Vlad was awesome. Polite, knowledgeable and informative. A wealth of information related to the history of the country and specifically to Teotihuacan. The whole team and the whole experience was top notch. If the budget allows, take the private tour and do the ballon ride. Such a memorable experience. I would highly recommend this company for your Teotihuacan tour.

Teotihuacan Pyramids with the Best! - 100% happy and grateful for this experience. We are so glad we had half a day outside of the city in such a cool, special place! Private tour with Edgar (our driver) and Vladimir (our tour guide) was exceptional. Edgar picked us up from our hotel and drove us to Teotihuacan where we met up with Vladimir. Vladimir is an awesome guide, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. If you can spare half a day, book this trip! I can't wait to build more on the knowledge we learned today. How often do you get to experience pyramids!? Bucket list item ✅ Edgar got us back to our hotel swiftly and safely! We can't be more appreciative. Thank you Edgar and Vladimir!

Understandable Lesson on a Complicated Historical Site - Rosa Maria our guide and Christian our driver were marvelous hosts on this tour to Teotihuacan. Other tour companies offered to stop at a farm, but we preferred to concentrate on the tour of the ruins. I had visited Teotihuacan decades ago while in Mexico at summer school and Rosa Maria pointed out what had changed at the sights since then. She offered informative charts that we took pictures of and in-depth information (while not getting too "stuck in the weeds"). Even en route from Mexico City Rosa Maria pointed out fascinating facts about the area including the public gondolas in the State of Mexico. High recommend!

Teotihuacan is a must! - Joseph was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing the history of Teotihuacan and the people of Mexico. It was a stunning and incredible site to see and learn about, even more impressive than we realized. Having a private tour was great, as we went at our pace and weren't waiting on a large group. I'd recommend Joseph for this tour to anyone!

Wonderful Tour of Teotihuacan - We had a wonderful private tour of Teotihuacán with Rosa. We were picked up directly in front of our hotel. We received an excellent narrative about the history of the treasured archaeological site on the way. We explored Teotihuacan in a relaxed fashion and honestly felt this was a perfect excursion. I would highly recommend this tour

Tour of Teotihuacan - Our guide, Clara, was very knowledgeable and considerate, and did an excellent job organizing the flow of the walking tour, and giving us a much deeper understanding of the history, sites, and cultures of Teotihuacan. Edgar, our driver, was expert and courteous. Highly recommended!

Incredible Private Tour of Teotihuacan – Highly Recommend! - We had an amazing private tour of Teotihuacan with our guide, Joseph, and our driver, Michel. From start to finish, everything was seamless. We were picked up on time from our hotel in Roma Norte, and along the way, Joseph shared insightful information about the areas we passed through, answering all our questions with enthusiasm. Arriving early was a game-changer—it felt like we had the entire site to ourselves for the first hour and a half, making the experience even more magical and peaceful. Joseph’s detailed explanations of each area brought Teotihuacan to life in a way that made us appreciate its history even more. The private tour is absolutely worth it. Avoiding the large crowds and having a personalised, informative experience made all the difference. If you’re considering visiting Teotihuacan, I highly recommend booking this tour!

Wonderful Customer Service ! - Amazing experience! The drive, tour and customer service were all incredible. We were unable to go on the day we booked because someone in the family got sick but the tour operator made the kind accommodation to book us the next day. Our driver David and tour guide Eloy were both very professional and knowledgeable. The tour including drive time lasted exactly 5 hours for us and it was perfect. Highly recommend this tour to anyone considering, you will not be disappointed!
