A fantastic way to experience Teotihuacán
We had an amazing experience on the Pyramids, Caves & Culinary Experience! Tania was wonderful from the start. Communication before the tour was excellent—she provided very clear instructions about the meeting point and timing, which made an early morning departure in Mexico City incredibly easy.
The entire experience was well organized, informative, and fun. Visiting Teotihuacán was obviously the highlight, but we really appreciated that the tour went beyond simply seeing the pyramids. The additional cultural experiences, caves, and food made the day feel much more immersive and gave us a better appreciation for the area.
Tania was friendly, knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely welcoming. We never felt like we were being rushed from one stop to another, and there was a great balance between learning, exploring, taking photos, and simply enjoying the experience.
This ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico. If you’re considering visiting Teotihuacán from Mexico City, I highly recommend this tour and Tania.

Excellent Experience!
Tania is an amazing tour guide! Be prepared to walk a lot, and if you come during hot months, it goes without saying but you're gonna sweat a lot and will need sun protection. We came in March and it was perfect. The whole experience includes the pyramids, underground lava tube exploration, and a stop at a place with genuine mineral souvenirs and those awesome hairless dogs (xoloitzcuintle). Tania will provide you with everything you need and will provide you with excellent information and anticipate your needs. Be on time! This is not one of those it's-ok-if-youre-late type tours.

Great day in Teotihuacan with Tania
Our family enjoyed a wonderful experience with Tania and her driver in Teotiuacan. We had two young kids (six and two year olds) and she was amazing and extremely patient with them. She explained to our older son every item our kid was interested in, in the various museums within the Teotihuacan complex. Our lunch spot was phenomenal, and included a 5-course meal. Overall, a 6 star experience.

Best Tour with Tania!
We really enjoyed our tour with Tania of Teotihuacan! She was very attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. She was great at answering all of our questions along the tour and took lots of great photos of us. Tania has curated a great tour itinerary that highlights the history of this special place and the people who lived there. We also really enjoyed the 5 course Mexican lunch and she accommodated our need for some vegetarian meals. This is not a large commercial tour, but rather a personal guide that made our experience incredible. Highly recommend booking a tour with Tania!

Great day at the temples
Explored the temple area with friends and our guide Tania. She is a great guide, very accommodating and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour with her to any of you. There is a lot of walking so bring good shoes.

The perfect day trip!
Perfect day trip! We had a great, fun, and engaging tour guide (Tanya) who gave us an in-depth tour of the pyramids and a local cave. Lunch at a local restaurant was delicious and then we visited a local stone artisan shop and then got a tour of the artists at work and met Mexican hairless dogs. Highly recommend this tour!

Book the tour!
Highly recommend this tour! We were undecided if we wanted/needed a guide and are so glad we decided on it. The knowledge and history provided was very helpful and interesting to learn. The cave was very cool and the lunch was fantastic!

An Experience
I thought the value was great for the experience. Got to try a curated lunch of food that is representative of the culture and often seasonal. I got what I wanted which was an experience. I don’t do many tours because I’m independent and introverted but for some things, I feel a tour is the way to go or else I’m wasn’t my own time and time is something I’m not willing to waste. Without the history and context from the tour, the pyramids would just be a great photo and sight but soulless. I could have also done my own research but that’s where I had to weigh doing things myself or getting someone else to do it. I truly got an experience and that is the value.

We had a great time and...
We had a great time and learned so much from our guide. If we did the sight on our own, it would just looking at mounds of rocks. She was so kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. The lunch tasting was delicious too.
