Extraordinary guide
A phenomenal experience! Arturo, who was my guide on the tour, is an extraordinary person, of great human quality and with a very high command of both academic sources and oral tradition. He has a full command of the historical, ritual, ethnographic, and architectural concepts that are associated with Teotihuacán and allow for the deep reading that the place deserves. His explanations are pleasant, with attention to detail and passion for ancestral cultures that are transmitted during the tour, making it a pleasure to listen to him and look with amazement at the cultural richness of this ancient spiritual and political center. I will gladly return!

Excellent experience
Pato is very nice, she makes the tour pleasant, very concerned about the group, clear explanations in both English and Spanish. It was a great success to have done the tour with her. Also, it is ideal that they pick you up and drop you off at your hotel; it is not something that common in other tours.
Operator response

Excellent experience. Delivered as advertised.
The tour delivered exactly what they promised: a small group of 9 people, and a visit to Teotihuacán pyramids and a cave. The van was comfortable and the driver Jesus was excellent. The guide Karen was excellent too, very kind and helpful, and gave us excellent information about the different places. The full tour was about 6 hours in total. Initially there was a misunderstanding about the pickup point in my reservation, but they solved it graciously.
Operator response

Karen will be delighted to know that her kindness, knowledge, and helpful attitude made the tour so enjoyable and informative. We’ll also share your kind words with Jesús, whose safe driving and care are essential to making the journey comfortable and pleasant. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the initial pickup misunderstanding. We’re glad our team was able to resolve it smoothly so you could enjoy the rest of your day without worries. Thank you for choosing Friends Guides and for recognizing our small group experience. We hope to welcome you again on another unforgettable adventure in Mexico City!
