Great tour - Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Without him we would have simply walked up to the pyramid, taken a photo, then left. He immersed us into the life and culture of the period.

Guide has a passion for HISTORY - My wife and I had a great time learning about the history/theories behind the cultures that operated near (and far) from this Pyramid. It was fun and interesting to learn about this interconnected past thanks to Armando!

Excellent guide - Fantastic tour. Armando was exceptionally informative and friendly. Had we not booked a tour with him, seeing El Cerrito would have been a much less fulfilling experience for us English speakers, as everything is in Spanish. Highly recommended

Knowledgeable and experienced guide - Armando was an excellent tour guide. My husband and I asked so many questions and he was great about answering everything. His English is excellent so, if you are visiting from the US, Canada, Australia, or the UK you will be in great hands. If we were staying longer we would have signed up for his historic Queretero tour. Very knowledgeable.
