Clara our guide was extremely informative and knowledgeable. She had an amazing depth of knowledge of Mexican history. The tour was designed to suit our interests.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Ashlyn! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Clara made it special. We hope to see you again!
We had a guide named Sergio whom we loved, and a very nice driver named Edgar. Not sure if you will get them if you book this, he told me he is freelance - the guiding system seems a bit random as to whom you will get. The whole trip took about 5 hours round trip from Mexico City, but we asked to stop for lunch. It would be more like 4 without lunch. After the pyramids tour, we were brought to a local gift shop. If you do not want to buy any souvenirs, you could ask to not do this. We did not mind, the owner gave us a presentation about agave and we drank some different agave drinks, some had alcohol.
Thanks for your comments! We are glad you enjoyed the tour. Best regards, Clara
I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a shorter, midday trip to Teotihuacan. Clara is an outstanding tour guide and was sure to show us the “greatest hits” of the site, while still answering our specific questions. Our total trip was between 4 to 5 hours, which is exactly what we were looking for. Clara also gave us great tips and suggestions to round out our experience in Mexico City.
An excellent tour with a great guide. Gabriel was extremely knowledgeable about the sites and very easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend him.
A must see and do! This half-day private tour was great. A good option if you're tight on time, and want to experience Teotihuacan. Clara was very knowledgeable about the area and provided suggestions where to eat and visit in Mexico City. Thank you Clara!
Clara was an amazing guide! We went to the pyramids on a beautiful day. Pickup was timely in an air-conditioned car. Clara showed us important parts of the city on the drive, explaining as we drove. When we got to the pyramids, she gave us ample time to learn about the history but also to shop and look around. It was an extremely customizable tour done at our own pace, so much so that she gave us a recommendation for lunch on the way home and they were able to drop us off there instead! Clara was knowledgeable both in what she told us as well as answering ALL of our questions. Definitely book this to go see the pyramids! Thanks again Clara!
This was an amazing tour, and our guide, Clara was exceptional. She was a fountain of thoughtful and relevant information, and she was able to answer any questions we had. The communication, pickup, and drop off were smooth and exactly as promised. Clara spoke perfect English and made all the relevant arrangements. The pace of the tour was perfect and focused on the pyramids and the metropolis around them. We would strongly recommend this tour to anyone who wants an informative and entertaining tour with real professionals. Gracias Clara!!!
We loved our tour of Teotihuacan with Clara! She was deeply knowledgable, attentive, and answered all of our tangential questions that popped up over the course of our tour. We learned so much! We appreciated that she was able to accommodate our request for an early departure. Overall, the booking, pick-up, and drop-off were all seamless. We'd highly recommend a tour with Clara of Teotihuacan or any other sites during your visit to Mexico City!
Thanks a lot for your comments Suzanna. We are very happy that you enjoyed this tour.
