✨ I highly recommend this experience that my family and I will never forget ✨ A few days ago we had the opportunity to get to know the magical Archaeological Zone of Teotihuacan 🏛️ with pickup from our hotel in CDMX 🚐. The guide Ángel Martínez took us through the pyramids, murals, museums and shared history with great passion and knowledge 👨🏫💬. In addition, we enjoyed a delicious meal with local flavor 🇲🇽🍽️. It was a day full of culture, learning and family moments that we will treasure forever. Highly recommended! 🙌
The pyramids are impressive, the guide was very informative and professional, they took us to strategic points to take very good photos and places that almost no one knows and are little visited but that are within the archaeological site , I was marveled with the landscapes and everything that represents culturally
I booked this tour because I have a three-year-old toddler who needs to use a car seat and a lot of patience. Our tour guide, Luis Angel Martinez, is very nice and bright and provides lots of historical information. The price also includes picking us up from our hotel, so I think this is a very good private tour for a family because the price ($ 225) is the same as booking other group tours.
From the beginning to the end of the tour, Luis, the guide, gave us all the information. He was very kind and clear. The tour is full of history, culture, architecture and mysticism. The guide is an expert on the subject, always willing to answer questions. and questions. In short, the tour was most interesting and fun.
