Good cost-benefit.
The group had approximately 34 people, we traveled by bus to the location and there the division into 2 smaller groups, one group for Spanish speakers and another for English speakers. The bus was a little old, our seats weren't very comfortable, maybe it was our bad luck to sit in a bad spot. Arriving at the location, we had 3 hours to explore everything, which was enough. Our guide in Spanish gave basic explanations about the place. In summary, it is a good benefit.

Nice experience!
My five friends and I enjoyed every minute. The price was also fine. The team of guides was excellent! Julio Cesar explained lots of details with passion and enthusiasm, and spoke English very well!
Even though one of my friend was not feeling well, Julio came back to meet us and asked if she needed some help, really full of attention.
Thank you for giving us a good day and a nice experience in another part of Mexico.
Muchas gracias!

Shoutout to Ruben, our amazing tour guide!
They delivered exactly what they promised! Small group, transfer on time, without any stops to tourist traps. Look no further and book this trip! Our tour guide in English was Ruben, who was the most knowledgeable, passionate and kind guide we’ve ever had in any of our trips worldwide. He and our driver Ariel, made this experience much better than anticipated!

Great way to see Teotihuaca pyramids!
If you are considering booking this tour, do it! Multiple easy places for pick up in the city. And bus is nice. The early day outing is a great time to visit Teotihuacan, and our guide Yair was very knowledgeable. Amazed by how much he shared never needing to look at any notes. Nice smaller sized group made it easier to hear or get around. There was plenty of time to see everything, including climbing up two of the pyramids.
Operator response

Excellent option to do with children without it being extremely tiring.
It is the perfect amount of time! We are a group of 10 people which allowed us to ask questions and make the most of the guide. The transportation was in a tourist bus that was quite comfortable for traveling with a baby. We arrived at the pickup point and a person was there to guide us. We really recommend it.
Operator response
¡Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia y por recomendarnos! Nos alegra saber que el tiempo del recorrido les pareció perfecto y que el tamaño del grupo les permitió hacer preguntas, interactuar con el guía y disfrutar al máximo de Teotihuacán.
También nos da mucho gusto saber que el transporte fue cómodo para viajar con su bebé y que nuestro equipo estuvo presente desde el punto de encuentro para orientarlos.
¡Gracias por confiar en nosotros para conocer Teotihuacán! Esperamos volver a recibirlos en otra experiencia. 🇲🇽
