An Outstanding Tour with Expert Guidance and Great Comfort - This was an excellent tour from start to finish. Having a knowledgeable guide made a big difference, bringing the fascinating history of Teotihuacan to life and adding great context to such an incredible site. The additional stops at Tlatelolco and the Basilica of Guadalupe were also very worthwhile and added a lot to the overall experience. The lunch location was a great choice, with beautiful views of Teotihuacan. Transportation was in a proper van, which made the day much more comfortable. Everything was well organized, and I highly recommend this tour.

Great private tour - Everything went smoothly. We were picked up at the hotel on time and had a private driver and guide. George knew an incredible amount and shared his knowledge with us. The pyramids were of course the highlight and when the morning fog passed we had a wonderful view.

Well worth the trip! - The tour of the pyramids was the highlight of our time in Mexico City and the stop at the Cathedral of Guadalupe complex was an unexpected delight. While the private tour was a little expensive, we found it worth the cost in a private car with a driver and separate guide made for a stress free day.

Seamless, informative private tour — perfect for a tight schedule - This was an excellent experience and a great way to see a few of Mexico City’s most iconic sites efficiently. The private tour made everything feel smooth and well-paced, which was especially appreciated since we were visiting on a work trip with limited time. Our guide, Carlos, was fantastic — knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. He shared helpful historical and cultural context at both Teotihuacan and the Basilica of Guadalupe without it feeling overwhelming or rushed. Transportation was comfortable, logistics were handled seamlessly, and we never felt stuck in large crowds. Teotihuacan was a highlight, and Carlos’s explanations around the pyramids really added depth and meaning to the visit. The Basilica of Guadalupe was equally impactful, and he did a great job explaining its significance while being respectful of the atmosphere. Overall, this tour was well-organized, informative, and a great fit for travelers who want a meaningful experience without the stress of planning. I’d absolutely recommend it — especially for business travelers or anyone short on time.

Pyramids, Basilica and much more! - We toured Teotihuacán and the basilica with our guide Roberto. He took us above and beyond with a well timed detour on the cablebus on the way to the pyramids. We soared above the city and saw a whole new side (well, top) of CDMX. At Teotihuacán, Roberto knew the highlights, overlooked sights and his knowledge and connections made our time there fun and efficient. At the Basilica, he shared stories about all the churches both modern and ancient. This tour and this company really understand the sites they tour and give visitors a great experience. They got what we wanted to see and facilitated it easily. Thank you Roberto for a day we will never forget in a country filled with amazing sites and fantastic adventures.

Enriching experience - The one who gave us the excursion was extremely friendly and helpful. Additional demonstrated a thorough knowledge about all the sites we visited. They were extremely punctual and always worried if we needed anything additional. Same with Guillermo, the driver who guided us.

A day to remember in Mexico City! - When we started this adventure, we had no idea the effect it would have on our family of 4. Bruno and Antonio were waiting for us outside our Airbnb when we stepped out of door. Bruno rushed to to introduce himself, so smiles and sincere warmth. Our first stop was Tlatelelco ruins, the church of Santiago, and the square where the 1968 massacre occurred. Bruno made the history over centuries come alive with his knowledge. Antonio's expert driving allowed us to nap off and on as we drove through the state of Mexico to the Teotihuacan pyramids. I can't express adequately in words as it felt to walk through what was once a bustling metropolis, filled with a mysterious people that we will never fully know about as they had no written language and virtually disappeared. Our athlete daughter raced to the steep stairway of the temple of the moon while the rest of us watched their ascent and careful descent. We then enjoyed a delicious lunch at a family run restaurant that was also an obsidian craft shop, and learned about and sampled pulque, an ancient drink made from the piña of the agave plant. We ended our tour at the Guadalupe cathedral complex, which was teeming with the faithful. A beautiful day, we would take a tour with Bruno and Antonio again and again. Bon día!!

Good tour overall - Overall we’re happy with the tour. Our tour guide, George, had an incredible amount of knowledge. The transportation to and from all of the stops was very nice to have. They provided water, sunscreen, and hats if we needed it. I did feel a couple of times that our guide was trying to dissuade us from visiting a couple sites (because it was a crowded travel day), but it could have just been a misunderstanding. The lunch that was included was very sub-par, although the view of the pyramids was beautiful. I could have done without the obsidian tour, which is mostly just a gimmick to try and get you to buy stuff at their shop. Ultimately, the knowledge of our guide and private transportation made the tour worthwhile.
