Itinerary
Discover the secrets of past cultures among imposing pyramids, avoid crowds by being one of the first to reach this majestic archeological site. Starting in a private vehicle from your accommodation, we will leave Mexico City early to avoid city traffic and crowds at the pyramids. Our route around the site will include an in-depth examination of the three most significant Teotihuacan structures: the pyramids of Luna, Sun and Feathered Serpent. Our expert certified guide will delve into the stories, traditions and sacred rights that date back to the classical Mesoamerican era. We will have the option of climbing the steep steps of a pyramid, where our guide can point out the geographical influence of Teotihuacan in the neighboring regions. Our path will also lead us to several important compounds with murals before the Mayans and Aztecs, and we will learn about these palace designs and the artistic style that permeated not only the ancient Teotihuacan society but many Mesoamerican civilizations for millennia. In the end we will have a tasting of traditional drinks such as pulque, tequila and mezcal.

We booked the private tour the day before the visit. It was very easy to do and once it was confirmed, our tour guide Miguel messaged us immediately with details. We got picked up at our hotel and the tour started there! Miguel provided fun facts and historical information as we drove to the pyramids. Once there, Miguel continued providing very interesting facts and information about the pyramids that we would have never learned on our own. Highly recommend this tour experience!
Noah was very informative and gave us a great tour! We loved it! Definitely would recommend to anyone!
My two children and I had a private tour and it was a great experience; Noe helped us with everything, in addition to giving us a detailed and very enjoyable explanation of everything we visited. We felt truly safe and well taken care of. Highly recommended!
Aldo and Ivan were great. Very knowledgeable and flexible with our itinerary. Early for everything and communicative. They tailored it to what we were interested and had energy for. Would definitely do another tour with them
We had a great day exploring, our guide Noah was very informative and clear in the history of the site. There is no way we would have learned as much had we come without a guide. Also it was so easy, we were picked up at our hotel and dropped off at our desired location. Highly recommend.
Our guide, Rodolfo Miguel Figueroa Lopez, is absolutely amazing. Fun, knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating. Our family of 5 was having a blast. Highly recommend!
Aldo and our driver arrived at 8 AM in a very comfortable minivan and took us to Teotihuacan. He started explaining interesting facts about the areas we drove through in Mexico City, all the way up to our initial destination, and once we were there, he continued sharing the most interesting, clear, and fascinating details about the culture, the people, the rituals, and the structures that we were visiting. His English is excellent and he makes it incredibly interesting. He asked us what we wanted and didn’t want and curated the tour accordingly. He is also an excellent photographer and took pictures of my family throughout the tour. We really loved the tour and would recommend him wholeheartedly.
We really enjoyed our time at Teotihuacan with Iván. This is a very special place, and he knew many interesting details that we never would have learned without him. Everything went smoothly, and he did a great job of communicating with us ahead of time, as well as accommodating us with a toddler. Thanks, Iván! The mezcal/pulque tasting was a fun treat at the end of the day.
A wonderful visit, Hector is an excellent guide!! The place is a magic space, and Hector helped us to understand it.
Our tour guide, Fermin, was excellent and very knowledgeable. He is an archaeologist, so he had firsthand knowledge. He also spoke English along with Spanish and was quite conversational/welcoming. We had a great experience. The pyramids are truly impressive and offer numerous excellent photo opportunities. He also took us into a neighborhood where the people used to live, so we got to see an angle of the people's lives from hundreds of years ago that the pyramids did not provide. After this, he recommended a place for lunch and waited for us to eat. He also gave us several recommendations for dinner, and the tour included both drop-off and pick-up. Including drive time, the tour ended up being about five hours. It is absolutely worthwhile if you are interested—I highly recommend it. Tips: Do not bring too much; a water bottle and some money are really all you need. Our tour guide did allow us to leave our belongings in his car. The restaurant at which we stopped for lunch took credit cards, and there is also a gift shop—as well as a snack stand—at the entrance/exit to the pyramids, but I am not sure if they take credit cards.
