Fantastic getting there early!

It was fantastic getting there before the crowds. It really feels like you have the place to yourself, more or less, for the first hour. A great experience and a fascinating place to visit!

10/10 experience

This was the highlight of our trip because not only was the trip beautiful, but also incredibly engaging and informative. Maria was a 5star tour guide who did the entire trip in both English and Spanish. Each thing she shared was short and sweet and I never felt like I was missing out on any of the translations. I appreciated the way she pointed out different art and architectural styles that we should take note of along the way, so much so that towards the end of the tour we could identify different characteristics on our own! The trip was early, but totally worth it to enter early without a lot of people in your photos. As the morning progressed it got more crowded so it was nice to experience it both in a peaceful and bustling environment!

Great tour - 100% recommend.

Had a great time on this tour. The scheduling of pickup was easy and the transportation was nice and comfortable. The tour itself was informative and I appreciated being there so early to enjoy the space with little to no people. Would recommend for first time visitors

Simple tour and worth it

This tour was a perfect amount of time to experience Teotihuacan. It took all the stress of getting there and buying a ticket. Our guide Aline was informative without being boring. Really appreciated the extra photos she had to help us understand what we were seeing. I learned a lot and can't imagine trying to explore on our own. Driver picked us up right on time at 6:45am - we had one quick pit stop on the way there to use bathroom (bring pesos ) and get some snacks / coffee / etc / we were one of the 1st groups to arrive with no crowds. We spent about 2 hours exploring and were home by 12:15 - No surprises or attempts to sell us anything we weren't expecting. Honestly don't think you need anymore time that this tour provides. See it , learn about it , get some amazing pictures which our guide helped us with , safe travels there and back.

The Teotihuacan Early Tour is the only way to go!

Wonderful experience! Guide was very knowledgeable and professional. Was able to see the temple site before the large crowds arrived. Had ample time to take in the sites, browse vendors, and shoot photos. Beatriz was an amazing guide, and our driver Memo (Mimo?) was excellent. Would highly recommend this tour to others planning to visit the pyramids!

Great Tour with Maria - Early, Educational, Efficient ... Highly Recommend!

Maria and her team were excellent! They picked us up at our front door, we arrived at the pyramids/temples as they were opening ... and then Maria led us on an amazing exploration of the temples, the housing/buildings around the temples ... plenty of climbing and photos! Maria is very knowledgeable about the park, the history, the legends, and more. Our group had a great time and was back in the city by 12PM or so. Several other participants were catching flights home that night and had no trouble getting a full pyramid/temples experience and back at the hotel with plenty of time to pack up and go to airport. The trip was great, efficient, and we highly recommend it!

It was a wonderful...

It was a wonderful experience getting to know such a historic place. It is full of wonder and awe. You get to climb the moon temple and walk through the street of the dead, while the guide gives history nuggets and speculation on what had happened to the civilization.

Hire Gerry for Teotihuacan!

The tour to Teotihuacán was incredible! Adán our driver kept us safe and got us there in a timely fashion, and Gerry, our tour guide, did his thing. He was so knowledgeable on the subject, answered our questions and was very patient with us. If you’re coming to CDMX, don’t miss this tour to the temples!
