Teotihuacan and Mexica Culture, top notch! - Excellent tour. Went early in the morning and would definitely recommend to avoid the heat and people. Our guide, Diego was great, spoke excellent English, gave us a ton of information on Teotihuacan, Mexica culture, and the surrounding area. Would do another tour with this company.

Impressive and humbling Teotihuancan - The tour to Teotihuacan became more special with the guidance of Salvador. He is an excellent guide, friendly, well informed and very professional. He avoided the crowds on a long weekend sunny Sunday by altering the usual order of the visit to the site. It would have been very difficult to navigate the site on my own without him. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about Mexican history and provides an excellent service. That said, this tour is unmissable. Wear comfortable shoes, sunscreen, sun glasses, hat/cap and enjoy the buildings and mithology of a highly advanced Mesoamerican civilization. Impressive and humbling.

Teotihuacan with Family - Our family was met on time and at the location we requested by Jocelyn, our tour guide, and Jorge, our driver in a roomy, air conditioned bus. On the way out of Mexico City Jocelyn told us about the history of the city and pointed out landmarks and new developments so we could learn a bit more about the city on our way to Teotihuacan. As we made our way to Teotihuacan Jocelyn told us some of the history of the place and people. We were one of the first groups out that morning and Jocelyn had a clear route through the ruins with interesting information as we walked and at each stop. We learned quite a bit and enjoyed our walk at the same time. Jorge met us at a different exit so we did not have to retrace the walk back to the lot where we started. We would strongly recommend Jocelyn and Jorge to anyone considering this tour. We have three boys, 18, 16, and 12 and they all enjoyed the experience.

Fantastic family trip - Had a great trip with Sal. Traveled with family and really appreciated his responsiveness to our varied needs, including one highly eager and energetic child and one child who needed more rest stops. Highly recommend.

The truth is I didn't find anything I would have done differently on the trip. Everything in general was good. - Half-day tour to the Teotihuacán pyramids from Mexico City. My experience was very good because I saw in person the pyramids of Teotihucan in Mexico. The transportation price included a hotel in Mexico City with transportation and the Teotihucan pyramids. The simple truth was that everything was good because the transportation, the hotel and the pyramids of Teotihucan were all included and that made things very easy for me and my family on our trip. For me, I would recommend traveling to Mexico and in that it is economical to go to the pyramids. of Teotihuacan. The truth is I didn't find anything I would have done differently on the trip.
