Itinerary
After meeting your guide in Mexico City, you will drive to Tlatelolco, today the largest archaeological site in Mexico City. Here, you'll learn about this important site, which was part of the capital of the Aztec empire and where the biggest market of that empire stood. You will see Plaza of the Three Cultures where the Prehispanic, colonial and modern Mexico get together.
You will head to the Shrine of Guadalupe (Basilica de Guadalupe). This is the most important religious building in all of Mexico and one of the most visited places in the Catholic world, annually receiving more than 20 million pilgrims.
Visit an obsidian workshop and learn about this ancient craftmanship, which is taught from generation to generation! In addition, you will indulge in the flavors of Mexico's most famous liquor: Tequila! Afterward, you will be able to purchase as many souvenirs as you wish
Have some time to enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you will witness an authentic Fiesta with traditional dances and music.
You will continue your tour to Teotihuacan, “City of the Gods.” A professional guide will accompany you on a journey through the history of this mystical place. Walk around the ruins and be in awe, as many Mesoamerican ancient travelers must have been when they came from other cities of its time. See the famous Sun and Moon Pyramids and take in the incredible views from the top of these. The guided tour is 1 hour long, and you would also have 70 minutes to explore the site on your own. *Important: Teotihuacan has limited access due to Covid 19 restrictions (this might change on a day by day basis) Due to COVID restrictions, some areas of Teotihuacán may be closed.

Very impressive site, great guides, timely operation of the large group through a whole day of excursion to the area. Just beware not to touch raw vegetables at the local tourist restaurant near the park. We all got dysentery there.
We absolutely loved the experience with Lilly! She was so informed and shared many good and interesting facts that we weren’t aware of throughout the entire trip. Jorge welcomed us in the morning and was a great way to start out adventure with such a courteous host. Last but not least, our driver was very professional and took us to all of our destinations with ease while dealing with both morning and evening traffic, he definitely made us feel safe.
Jorge, Alex, and Francisco were awesome guides. They taught us so much history and culture, but in an entertaining way. The sights themselves were magnificent, and the tour packed several must-see places into one full day. You will be tired at the end of the day, but in a good way. Highly recommended!
We loved the tour. Gerson was a spectacular guide and the excursion was perfect in terms of timing. Time for explanation and free time to enjoy the site was spectacular.
The best part of the tour, the guides David and Gerson, were super friendly, attentive, and kept us informed of everything, demonstrating a mastery of and passion for their work. Gerson was very natural, approachable, and professional. At all times you feel welcomed, and the tour is very complete and goes by very quickly, but seeing everything at a good pace.
David and hearson were amazing!
This is definitely not the worse tour I've been on but it was pretty bad. In short, there was a lot of poor planning. Lunch was REALLY late and a lot of time was spent trying to sell us stuff. That being said the sights are great and it's hard not to have fun in Mexico.
Fantastic, everything excellent with Alex
Alex and Pancho are the best guides!
Alex, great, lots of knowledge.
