We had an amazing experience on our guided visit to Teotihuacán. Hermes was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history and culture of this incredible site. He brought the ancient city to life with fascinating stories and insights that we never would have discovered on our own. The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. We left with a much deeper appreciation for Teotihuacán and its significance. If you’re visiting Mexico City, we highly recommend this tour and especially Hermes as your guide. Thank you for making our visit such a memorable experience!
Bruno was a legend, this was an incredible piece of history and we were back in time for a full afternoon/evening of activities.
This tour is amazing, would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn about the history of Teotihuacan. Gio and the team are incredible, they take very good care of the tour group. We learnt so much on this tour, and it didn’t feel scripted at all, Gio really knows his stuff and is so passionate to share the fascinating information about Mesoamerica. If you’re planning to go to Teotihuacan, please book with Gio and the team. Also a shout out to Kevin our driver, he was great!
Bruno was an excellent guide. His knowledge of the history and archeology of Meso America and his ability to relate it to historical events in other cultures was very valuable.
Such a good experience, we felt so well taken care of
We don’t talk about Bruno… except in this review! He told us we would have a great time - we did! Bruno gave a wonderful tour of Teotihuacan this morning. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Mexican history, the pyramids, and the international context during the time the pyramids were in use. Bruno was very patient and more than happy to answer questions from both kids and adults. The tour was well-paced and the early morning meant fewer crowds and more shade. We enjoyed coffee and pastries from Rosetta before we left. Great experience!
it is a beautiful site, and we enjoyed the tour. Our guide took good care of us, but unfortunately his presentation was very scattered, and we didn't learn much.
Hola Maryl, I'm so sorry you felt the information wasn't thorough, it really surprises me because I know Hermes is very knowledgeable about the area. I wish you would've reached out to me sooner to offer a solution to this at the moment. Once again I offer my apologies about the lack of information that was provided. I'll provide feedback to Hermes. Kindly, Gio! :)
Gio was the best guide for this experience. His knowledge and passion for Mexican archaeology was infectious. He provided so much insight into the history of the area and how it was rediscovered in the 1900s. He allowed time to explore and the experience included as much climbing as you were comfortable with. I would recommend bringing snacks or a bag lunch as the cafe offered more sweet pastries.
Gio was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour an enjoyable and very interesting experience.
Wonderful tour! Hermes is knowledgeable, personable, funny, and sweet. The driver was safe. I loved how Hermes honored the work of the women in the historical context, and how he explained the spiritual connection as well. He also corrected some of the history of the pyramids that have been told before.
