Great tour! - Excellent tour with Marta and Montserrat! Marta was very knowledgeable and patient with us at each site. I’m glad I chose this tour because unlike some of the others, this one goes to Tlatelolco as well as the pyramids and the basilica. The minivan was comfortable and air-conditioned, and we really enjoyed the lunch spot (note that there is a workshop selling jewelry next door if you are interested). I would use this company again.

A must do day trip! - Our guide Ramon and driver Edwardo were courteous, polite and very friendly. Ramon was very knowledgeable and did an outstanding job sharing information about the sites. He was also very accommodating in that we wanted to eat lunch at the caves, and he let us do so. He was the best guide I have had in my travels. The vehicle was comfortable and there were enough water bottles for us. I would highly recommend Ramon to others.

Highly recommend - We had a fantastic day on this tour. Our driver, Arturo, and our guide, Carlos, worked so well together. Carlos was an excellent guide. He was friendly and personable, and had so much knowledge on the history of both the pyramids and the Basilica. Arturo’s car was impeccably clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour to explore Mexican culture and history. - We had a tour with our guide Roberto and our driver Antonio. They picked us up in time and already during the car ride to the sites shared details about Mexico City, the country and the culture. Roberto was very flexible in shaping the tour content and answered all our questions patiently. Tlatelolco was not that special to see, although the church is impressing with the windows. Teotihuacan was amazing and Roberto gave us a lot of insights to the history and architecture of the Tempels and Palaces. We really liked the stop in the Collectivo where a member showed us around, explained all about Agave production from fiber to paper to drinks and also showcased how Obsidian and Silver is manufactured. The Guadalupe Tempel was also worth seeing especially since the area consists of a diversity of buildings from different ages. Antonio was patient, always ensuring a save and quick journey in an air conditioned car. Top full day experience!

Bruno- amazing guide! - Our guide, Bruno, and our driver, Antonio, were both amazing. We had a spacious, air conditioned van. Bruno is extremely knowledgeable about Mesoamérica but we also had interesting discussions on many other subjects. We opted to have lunch which came with a short informative tour. We never felt rushed. It was a long day full of information we are still processing! We would absolutely recommend Bruno and Antonio.
