We have just finished a... - We have just finished a truly fantastic day out on the tour led by Veronica (our guide) and Arturo (our driver). Lovely people and Veronica was extremely knowledgeable, we learned lots at our own pace and we could see how much she enjoyed sharing information about Mexican culture from ancient times through to the modern day. We highly recommend this tour and our guides! Personally we would avoid the lunch stop if booking again though.

Best private tour ever! - Best tour I booked. Veronica and Tony were very pleasant. Wasn't sure what to expect but we were so happy with tour. From the start Veronica was very informative on the history of our different stops. She was so friendly and felt like we made a new friend. We were not rushed and she adjusted to our pace and what we were interested in. I recommend spending the extra money on a private tour verses a group tour. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again Veronica and Tony. Best wishes Mark and Patricia Silveira

Excellent!!! - We were picked up at our lodging with a very comfortable and nice van. Antonio, the driver, driving very well, was very attentive and was always waiting to pick us up and drop us off at the point of interest. Mariana, the tour guide, found us excellent, with a lot of knowledge and mastery of the issues, open to answer any questions, very organized and work very well as a team with Antonio. The tour was very complete to Tlatelolco, the pyramids of Teotihuacan and the Basilica of Guadalupe, in all places with enough time to explore it at ease, feeling a complete and calm visit. Gran tour!!! Fully recommended

Fabulous Tour - This was one of the best tours I have ever taken. Our guide, Alberto, was so knowledgeable and informative, and a wonderful story teller. Teotihuacan is truly spectacular — much more interesting and impressive than I expected — and Alberto brought the history to life for us. (There is almost no interpretive signage at the site, so a good guide is particularly important here!). The stop at the Guadeloupe Shrine also exceeded expectations. We wouldn’t have specially planned that visit — it just happened to be included in the Teotihuacan tour — but it also proved to be incredibly interesting. In addition to all of that, the van was comfortable, the lunch (at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the pyramids) was delicious, and we were well taken care of all day. I HIGHLY recommend this tour.

Excellent Tour!! - This tour was a highlight of our stay in Mexico. Arturo was our driver and Jorge our tour guide, and I highly recommend you request them, if possible. Because the tour is private, they tailor it to just your style and you can get into many conversations and ask all the questions you want. Jorge is a walking encyclopedia and very enthusiastic about everything on this tour! 5+ stars!!!

I wish we would’ve been able to know where we were going to eat ahead of time. I could’ve made a more informed decision - I didn’t like that they took us to a terrible restaurant and tourist tray gift shop. The food was not good
