Had a great morning trip out to the pyramids! Early start for pickup but well worth it to avoid some of the afternoon heat and to get the 1 hour drive to the site out of the way! The bus was comfortable and clean. All of the guides on the bus were friendly, and our site guide Mario was incredibly knowledgeable about the pyramids and their history. The site is incredible and the history very interesting! It’s a good amount of walking and climbing but nothing too strenuous and people can opt in/out of most of the pyramid climbing if desired and still receive a lot of history and great views. Plenty of opportunities for souvenir buying throughout the site, and options to use the restroom and buy food/snacks/etc. both right before arriving and departing from the site.

Great trip to Teotihuacán

Mario is a good guide with perfect sense of humor.
Mario is a good guide with perfect sense of humor. I would recommend this trip to my friends. But the pick up information can be clearer as it takes a bit time to find our guide in the morning at our meeting point. There are many different agencies at the same location. We asked the wrong one at the very beginning. But still love this trip so much and learnt a lot of knowledge about Teotihuacan!!!
Y
Amazing & informative!
The tour went smoothly, and the description of the itinerary went exactly as planned. They were very professional & prompt on time. As far as the actual experience, Mario made the tour of Teotihuacán so much with his wealth of knowledge & charisma. Highly recommend it!

Great Tour
I love the Teotihuacan, it is an amazing experience. I have been 2 times and if it is your first time, you really want to spend the whole day. Since this was my second time this tour was great. Unfortunately, we spent more time driving in traffic than at the actual pyramids. Our tour guide was great, she was very knowledgeable. Transport is safe and easy!

Beautiful, in-depth tour of Teotíhuacan
It was a wonderful experience. I LOVED that Rudolpho is an archeologist and that he was able to answer I’m depth questions. Spending less time at the 1st pyramid center with the general explanation and more time at the last two pyramids would help improve the experience. There was no time for bathroom breaks after arriving without missing part of the tour. This could also be improved. Maybe add an hour to the tour to accommodate these changes without losing the archiological information.

I would book with them again without hesitation!
The tour was excellent, comfortable bus, we left on time and a guide who conveyed passion for the history of the place. Thanks to Julio, Rodolfo and Omar for the attention provided.
