Begin your experience with a pleasant walk through the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, where you can discover the history of the church of Santiago de Tlatelolco, admire the impressive ruins of an ancient pre-Hispanic city (admission not included, costing MXN $70 per person ), and visit the monument in honor of the 1968 student movement.
The trip from Mexico City to Teotihuacán will take approximately one hour. During the journey, you will be able to enjoy panoramic views of the metropolitan area of Mexico City, as well as the Acolman convent, where the tradition of the piñata was born.
Discover the archaeological complex of Teotihuacán. Explore the archaeological zone and learn about the important history of this significant pre-Hispanic city.
As a suggestion for lunch, we recommend the restaurant La Higuera, located in the municipality of San Martín de las Pirámides. This restaurant has a terrace that offers an impressive view of the pyramids.
This activity also includes a visit to a craft center, where you can optionally taste regional liquors (nopal and tuna) and taste the traditional drink known as pulque.
The trip from Teotihuacán to the Basilica of Guadalupe will take approximately one hour. During the journey, you will be able to make a stop to rest and then continue exploring the religious complex to learn about its history and culture.
Discover the complex of the Basilica of Guadalupe, where you will have the opportunity to climb the sacred hill of Tepeyac, the place where the Virgin Mary appeared to the indigenous Juan Diego. From there, you can visit the charming Capilla de las Rosas and enjoy an impressive panoramic view of Mexico City. In addition, you will visit the historic Capilla de los Indios and the Capilla del Pocito, before marveling at the modern Basilica, where the sacred blanket of Juan Diego is located.

This tour is fantastic! While it is a longer day covering the three different locations it is definitely worth it. Charlie and Ali were great guides, going above and beyond to help us out. They had amazing knowledge not only of the sites we were visiting but also of the history of Mexico & Mexico City generally, as well as great tips for a lunch spot and local specialities to try. Being a private tour they have great flexibility in allowing you to spend more or less time anywhere as you wish and our guides were very friendly and fun. Highly recommend for a great day!
