Itinerary
Currently, the ruins of the Plaza de las Tres Culturas correspond to the ceremonial precinct of Tlatelolco, which bears similarities to Tenochtitlan, both in logic and in the objective: to form a city where the market and trade were the main activity.
The Basilica of Santa María de Guadalupe, officially called Insigne and National Basilica of Santa María de Guadalupe, is a sanctuary of the Catholic Church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary in its dedication of Guadalupe, located at the foot of the Cerro del Tepeyac in the Gustavo City Hall A. Madero of Mexico City. It belongs to the First Archdiocese of Mexico through the Guadalupana Vicariate that since November 4, 2018 is under the care of Salvador Martínez Ávila who holds the title of General and Episcopal Vicar of Guadalupe and rector of the Sanctuary.1
The Pre-Hispanic City of Teotihuacan was one of the largest urban centers in the ancient world, which reached a population of more than 100,000 at the time of its greatest splendor. Located in a valley rich in natural resources, Teotihuacan was the seat of power of one of the most influential Mesoamerican societies in the political, economic, commercial, religious and cultural, whose features permanently marked the peoples of the Mexican highlands, transcending time and coming to us with the same strength and greatness with which its builders planned it.

This was a great tour. Our guides went out of their way to make sure everything was convenient for us. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Even the kids loved it. We recommend splurging for the lunch. Very authentic.
Our tour guide Ramon was extremely knowledgeable and took his time answering all our questions at length and elaboration. We never felt rushed and they gave us plenty of time to visit each location. Thank you so much Ramon and driver Cristian for the giving us the most unforgettable experience in Mexico City. We could not have asked for a better tour guide!
Outstanding experience ! Angel and Veronica were a wonderful team . They made sure to tailor our experience to the interests and needs of our group. Highly recommend this experience!
Ramos was a very knowledgeable and patient guide. Enjoyed the time and learnt much about the culture and history
The tour guide was very enthusiastic and provided attentive service, and the driver drove very smoothly.
Amazing experience of ancient ruins but expect long drives and most likely traffic. The two attractions are far from each other so give yourself at least 7 hours.
Wow! We can't say enough good things about our experience. Ramon was so knowledgeable and knew the answer to every question we had. Him, along with his driver, Monte allowed us to take the tour at our own pace. We never felt rushed and could tailor the experience to what we wanted. He seemed generally excited to share all of his knowledge with us. Not only was it incredibly informational, but it was so much fun and exciting. The day went so smoothly with them taking care of every detail of our experience. Since there were protests outside of our hotel, they even met us in our lobby and walked us to where it was safe to be picked up. I would also highly recommend getting the included lunch, as even the meal was incredible overlooking the pyramids. We never felt pressured to stop at gift shops or to purchase things, but they were very flexible when we wanted to do so on our own accord. I can't recommend this experience enough! This was my second time booking this tour, and after experiencing as a solo traveler, I knew I wanted to do this again with my friend, and this time was even better than the last.
Both our guide and our driver were spectacular. Martha was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions as well! Would recommend if you can work with Martha to do so.
This was exactly what my group was looking for - A private tour that was catered to our specific needs; We had a specific time in mind to return home, and our incredible guide, Marta, was able to make it happen. The experience was completely seamless. A reminder email received the day before our reservation, asking that we confirm the tour the following day. On the morning of our tour, we opened our front gate at precisely our pick-up time to find Marta and our private van awaiting us on the street; It couldn't have been easier. Marta was helpful and kind, and her knowledge of the sites and the history of Mexico City in general was astounding. In our group of eleven, some had visited Teotihuacan and the Basilica before, while others had not, and at the end of our visit one of our group who had toured previously commented that Marta's commentary and expertise was far superior to what he had experienced on his prior visit. This tour is top-notch, and shouldn't be missed if you need a bespoke experience and/or truly care about the facts and information surrounding the destinations.
Marta was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Made this excursion a great experience. The pyramids are a must see.
