Teotihuacan : pyramides, grottes et expérience culinaire

We really enjoyed our tour with Tania of Teotihuacan! She was very attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. She was great at answering all of our questions along the tour and took lots of great photos of us. Tania has curated a great tour itinerary that highlights the history of this special place and the people who lived there. We also really enjoyed the 5 course Mexican lunch and she accommodated our need for some vegetarian meals. This is not a large commercial tour, but rather a personal guide that made our experience incredible. Highly recommend booking a tour with Tania!

Explored the temple area with friends and our guide Tania. She is a great guide, very accommodating and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour with her to any of you. There is a lot of walking so bring good shoes.

Perfect day trip! We had a great, fun, and engaging tour guide (Tanya) who gave us an in-depth tour of the pyramids and a local cave. Lunch at a local restaurant was delicious and then we visited a local stone artisan shop and then got a tour of the artists at work and met Mexican hairless dogs. Highly recommend this tour!

We had a fantastic day. Tan is a terrific guide, very knowledgeable, very fun, always prepared with snacks and water. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was a highlight of our Mexico City visit.

Highly recommend this tour! We were undecided if we wanted/needed a guide and are so glad we decided on it. The knowledge and history provided was very helpful and interesting to learn. The cave was very cool and the lunch was fantastic!

I thought the value was great for the experience. Got to try a curated lunch of food that is representative of the culture and often seasonal. I got what I wanted which was an experience. I don’t do many tours because I’m independent and introverted but for some things, I feel a tour is the way to go or else I’m wasn’t my own time and time is something I’m not willing to waste. Without the history and context from the tour, the pyramids would just be a great photo and sight but soulless. I could have also done my own research but that’s where I had to weigh doing things myself or getting someone else to do it. I truly got an experience and that is the value.

We had a great time and learned so much from our guide. If we did the sight on our own, it would just looking at mounds of rocks. She was so kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. The lunch tasting was delicious too.

Lots of walking and stair climbs but it was at the perfect laid back pace. Our guide, Tania was amazing, both knowledgeable and friendly. The food and snacks were a great bonus on the tour.

We just completed this outstanding outing to the Teotihuacan pyramids with Tania. Starting with the helpfully detailed itinerary that allowed us to know what to expect, followed effective pre-tour communication, and the on-time departure, we were off to a great start. Our drive up went by quickly and was filled with interesting conversation and information about what we were seeing. We were amongst the first to arrive at the site, and for the first part our small group was almost alone. This made the early start worthwhile. Tania is an effective and engaging guide and she communicates clearly. She is able to impart an understanding of the context and meaning of the buildings, which gives life to the structures and the entire site. Teotihuacan pyramids are impressive structures, set in a space of other remarkable constructions. Visiting here with a guide to provide fitting narrative and information makes the experience really meaningful. Without the interpretation, like so many historical sites, it’s just a bunch of rocks. The visit to the site museum was further helpful in understanding the history and society that inhabited the city. The model of the full site, including what is excavated and restored as well as what is still hidden underground, further underscores the immensity of the city. Our visit to the lava tube cave was fun and provided further context and understanding. The lunch stop was a much-appreciated opportunity to rest and experience local foods in a pleasant setting, at a short distance but distant enough to not be a “process a tourist” eatery. The food was outstanding. This tour was an outstanding experience. We experienced a lot for the time we spent, but at no time did we feel rushed. It’s highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience and learn about these pyramids and the history that they embody.

Where to begin.... Let's begin with Tania- her passion and knowledge for the Teotihuacan Pyramids and its inhabitants is amazing. Around every corner she had some other nugget of information she wanted to share. She’s fun, professional, passionate about her work and her country, and delightful to spend time with. We picked this tour because the description of the tour was so well-detailed, we knew we would get to see the things important to us. That said, our day of exploration was still full of surprises for us. It was obvious Tania is an expert on the site and knows how to dodge and weave around the crowds, so her guests have the best experience. We moved at just the right pace to ensure we saw as much as possible and still had time at each special spot. Honestly, I felt very bad for people visiting the site who didn’t have a guide with them, as there were so many layers of information that we wouldn’t have had if we’d just come on our own. It was wonderful to get to visit the museum, as well as the Pyramids. Having already visited the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City, the artifacts at the small on-site museum helped connect what we’d seen at the giant museum to the experience of the Pyramids. Lunch was tasty, fun, and included both familiar and new-to-us Mexican dishes. While we ate, Tania pulled out her tablet to continue sharing details of the site, the excavation, and how the archeological importance of the area impacted locals. There were so many Teotihuacan tours to choose from, and we honestly felt like we won the lottery by picking this one.
