Teotihuacán: walk and enjoy the history.

Incredible experience; they should just indicate that to bring cameras, a permit must be obtained in advance. Everything else was incredible; the guide Rubén and his driver Edgar were very kind, but above all, they provided information about the place.

Amazing! Unforgettable tour!

Incredible experience since the beginning. Ilse and Jose were amazing guides and made this tour the best day of our trip! We did the spanish tour. The day before, they sent a message to confirm the meeting point. The ride to Teotihuacan was very confortable, smooth as it can be. Jose is a really good driver! Ilse gave us a masterclass about Teotihuacan. She's very knowledgeable, friendly and took the time to answer all of our doubts. She also took amazing photos for us! After tour, Jose and Ilse took us to La Gruta. It is a must go on this trip! I highly recommend doing this trip with Ilse and Jose! Hope other travellers have the luck that we got going with them!

The cherry on top to end our family vacation

ILSE was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of details that we would have missed if we went on our own. We had 5 children in our group and she was very patient and not only included them in the conversation but remembered their names. We booked a private tour and we had a great ride there and back. The food at La Gruta was amazing. The whole atmosphere at the restaurant was incredible. Thank you ILSE for being so kind and patient with us. I would highly recommend this tour.

Operator response

We’re also very happy to hear you enjoyed the private transportation and the incredible atmosphere and food at La Gruta. Reviews like yours mean a lot to our entire team. Thank you for your trust, your recommendation, and for allowing us to be part of such a special family experience. We hope to welcome you back to Mexico again soon! 🇲🇽
