Louis was very knowledgable and the bikes were better than we expected! The cycle route was not at all challenging and a great was to see more than the tourist hot spots. The restaurant was nice and all staff very attentive, friendly and accommodating of allergies and tastes!
Our guide and cycling guide, Enrique, was knowledgeable, helpful, patient and kind. The company picked us up and dropped us back to our hotel. Timing was really good, we arrive at Teotihuacán around 9 am and it was cool and quiet. The site is huge, so an early start was great! The cycling is what we expected in Mexico, bikes could use TLC and adjustments, but we made do. Our guide kept eyes on us and waited if we had problems. We went down into a cave/tunnel. After the cave we had a Mezcal and tequila at a small artisanal location. The owner is also an obsidian craftsman. Last stop before returning to our hotel was for lunch. The meal was ok, we were happy to see a meal after 5 hours. There were Mexican dancers performing. That was fun to watch. It was a full day, got hot after 11, but a memorable experience. A lot packed in. The staff were friendly!
My wife and I did a Teotihuacán walking tour with Teotihuacánenbici Tours, booked through Viator. This company seems to feature cycling tours, but we did the walking version. Our guide, Eloy, was super knowledgeable and excellent. He’s a native Spanish speaker, but his English skills are outstanding. The pace of the tour was just right and he gave us time to climb the pyramid of the moon and have a look around. Eloy has a deep reservoir of knowledge about Teotihuacán, the surrounding villages, and Mexican history in general. He was able to answer all of our questions with detailed and interesting answers. The driver who picked us up from the hotel, Angeles, was also very good and even had recommendations for us in Mexico City and beyond, for example in Oaxaca. Highly recommended.
Raymond was an excellent and very knowledgeable tour guide. I had a private tour, and he showed me the murals and pyramids I wanted to see. I also saw the local towns and learned about the culture and traditions. This tour included a 3 course meal in a very colourful and delightful restaurant. Giovani was an excellent, informative and friendly driver who was very punctual.
Amazing tour. Luis is great, intelligent, educated person. We had wonderful time because of him. Thank you very much
Jorge was very attentive with us and we had the privilege of doing a private tour. He explained every detail, has material for us to tell the history and customs of the time. We did both the Teotihiacan and Tula tour.
It’s a fascinating deep dive into the ancient civilization of those who built the pyramids and those who came afterward. They truly are historic treasures. It’s a long day, so get coffeed up early and be sure to eat a good breakfast to power you through to lunch, which isn’t until after 1 pm. Our guide Luis is a true student of history and culture and showed us some very special details. The cave with the hole and sunlight streaming through was awesome. Angela was a great driver and got us through CDMX traffic with ease and confidence.
Very good tour! Luis was very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw everything I wanted to see and had a good lunch afterwards.
Great tour with Luis! The multiple stops were awesome (especially Miguel’s house), and he’s a very knowledgeable local. Getting around on a bike was great, we much preferred that to a bus or ATV. Some of the riding is slightly technical, though, and I could see an older person or someone without a lot of experience on a bike struggling a bit. The transfer from our hotel in CDMX was painless and smooth. Unfortunately, the lunch at the restaurant afterward was easily the worst meal of our trip (very bland gringofied food), and it gave my girlfriend food poisoning. Would recommend the tour itself, especially on the bike, but definitely skip the free lunch.
We had a blast touring Teotihuacan with Ramon as our guide. He was extremely passionate about the local culture and told us many stories about the sites and the history. It was a very personal trip and we were grateful to have experienced a small piece of the local life. The tour itself was well organized and thought out. They had lockers, hats and water available for anyone unprepared which was great because the sun, even in December can be quite strong.
