Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta
Description
Why choose us? We offer a full guided tour of Teotihuacan’s three main temples: the Sun, Moon, and Quetzalcoatl. From the very beginning, you’ll be welcomed by craftsmen local to the region to learn about the importance of obsidian and its trade in this ancient city. This will set the tone for the rest of the tour before heading to the Quetzalcoatl Temple, where the 3 km hike begins, ending at the Pyramid of the Moon. You will walk around the temples and even climb two of them as you observe the native vegetation and learn about the rise and fall of this amazing city. Before the sun gets too hot, you’ll be able to enjoy a traditional Mexican meal for lunch at La Gruta Restaurante (food not included), one of Teotihuacan’s most iconic and unique restaurants, located inside a natural volcanic cave. This experience connects Teotihuacan’s ancient history with modern culture and will help you fully comprehend how this society came to be, how it ended, and how we still remember it today.

We had a wonderful experience on this tour! It was thorough and insightful, allowing us to put the sites into a historical context. All the personnel were so friendly as well. We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone who visits.
Hey! thank you for comment, we really appreciate it.
Exceptional experience! We booked with private drive and Aaron picked us up at our hotel. This was so convenient. And Oscar our guide at the Pyramids was so knowledgeable. He really gave a great tour (and helped me with yhe steep stairs). We also stopped at an artisan shop for some local cultural information. Then we ended at the Gruta for lunch. The entire day was great.
This was a marvelous experience. Our guide Oscar was extremely knowledgeable and gave so much history in very entertaining way. We could climb the two pyramids and Oscar helped me down when it was a bit steep. We had Aaron as our private driver to the site and this was so convenient for a pickup at our hotel. They also stopped at a local artisan stop to understand some of the local and historic crafts. Then we concluded at la Gruta for lunch. All in all a great day.
I'm glad you enjoyed our tour! Greetings
