Beautiful pyramids

Our activity tour Rubén was excellent! He was born and raised in Teotihuacán and shared all his knowledge of this area. The pyramids and the history surrounding them is amazing to experience

I would honestly look elsewhere - deceitful behaviour

The tour itself was ok but not great. Our guide did not have adequate fluency with English. The information relayed during the tour was ok. However we overheard other guides providing far more colour and context. One thing to be aware of: The guide and maybe the tour operator has a hustle going in with a vendor of artifacts on the Teotihuacan grounds. We were slightly pressured to buy when we got to the vendor. When I asked if we could return after visiting pyramid of the sun, our guide that we wouldn’t be returning that way for the exit. This was a complete lie. I don’t appreciate a hustle and I really hate dishonesty from someone to whom we’ve paid a lot of money for a specific purpose. This tour does not have many reviews so probably best to look elsewhere. Money down the drain but more importantly a tour that was somewhat disappointing relative to what we might have received with another tour company.

Excellent tour.

A wonderful experience. We had visited the archaeological site but realized we knew nothing. Ruben was our host and guide. His attention, knowledge, passion for his work and Service were excellent. It adapted to everyone’s pace and we fulfilled the full itinerary. We recommend it 100%. Ask for Reuben. On arrival a breakfast in the restaurant highly recommended to start the day.

Operator response

¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir tu experiencia! Nos llena de alegría saber que tu visita se convirtió en una experiencia maravillosa y que pudieron conocer más de la zona arqueológica. Rubén es, sin duda, un gran anfitrión, y nos enorgullece saber que su atención, conocimiento y pasión hicieron la diferencia durante todo el recorrido. Agradecemos también tu recomendación al 100% y que sugieran pedir por Rubén; estamos seguros de que él estará muy feliz de leer tus palabras. Nos da gusto saber que el desayuno al inicio de la jornada también fue de tu agrado. ¡Será un placer recibirlos nuevamente para seguir compartiendo experiencias inolvidables!

Such a sweet knowledgeable guide who taught us a lot

Easy to meet up, nice walking tour, and tons to learn from a guide who is from this region and clearly loved his heritage and history. We learned so much. This is a must see and learn if you come to Mexico City.

Teotihuacan Tour

Oscar was a great tour guide. He had so much knowledge of Teotihuacan that I learned a great deal of the history behind the site. I highly recommend Oscar as a tour guide and hope some day to be able to book another tour with him.

Visiting TEOTIHUACAN with Ruben as your Guide will quickly become a lifelong memory

As someone who has traveled worldwide with tour guide experiences from Rome to Japan, visiting TEOTIHUACAN with Ruben as your Tour Guide will quickly become one of the most significant cultural experiences in your lifetime. His knowledge and passion for his homeland exude with each step and minute. You will leave with a deeper understanding of Mayan life and the geopolitical history of the region.

Just arrange your own tour for half

In November we asked the concierge of our hotel for a driver/guide. An über taxi is also fine. You can determine your own time. We agreed on a price of mx$3500 Entrance costs $90 pp. Continue to Luna Pyramid, there is easy parking, less busy. With Google Maps the layout is very simple. Ignore all Mexicans along the road. You decide. Think about lunch because the restaurants are NOT within walking distance. So need a taxi. We brought our guide with us and considered lunch as a tip. Our lunch was in the cave: La Gruta. In November it was not busy but I think booking in advance is advisable. Food excellent quality, price slightly above average but you get a fantastic experience! Don't forget to bring a hat against the sun because it is hot.

Great experience for our small group

It was great getting a private tour for our group of four. Ruben was very knowledgeable and friendly. He said he had been giving tours of the pyramids for 8 years, and was a history and English teacher in town prior to that. We ubered from Mexico City (which took a little less than an hour) and met him at a cafe near the pyramids at 8 am. The tour itself was about 2.5 hours long. Highly recommend this tour for small groups, it’s a great way to experience the pyramids and Ruben is fantastic!

Operator response

We appreciate your review and are thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with our private tour for your group. Ruben's extensive knowledge and friendliness are certainly assets to our team. We're pleased to have been a part of your memorable day at the pyramids. We hope to see you again!
