Teotihuacán and Guadeloupe shrine - Alicia and Alberto were awesome tour guides who answered all of our questions and then some. They demonstrated a profound knowledge of the ruins and were very friendly in their presentation.

Memorable Tour - Great tour to conclude my Mexico City trip. Alicia and Alberto were very informative. Only suggestion would be to check the weather to possibly make adjustments on which stop to make first. The Pyramids were the last stop on the tour but 30 minutes in. It started downpouring. I believe most people came to see the Pyramids and were disappointed that it was cut short. The lunch hour could be cut short. I would have rather had more time at the Pyramids.

My hubby and I had a... - My hubby and I had a fabulous tour with Alicia and Alberto. Both guides were very knowledgeable about Tlatelolco, Teotihuacan, Guadalupe Shrine sites and of course the Tequila tasting was incredible. Directions for pick up and drop off were clearly noted and the tour took about 8 hours....well worth it. Definitely a must if visiting MC and an added plus if you are matched up with Alicia and Alberto.

So much learning in a short period of time - Fernanda needs a raise!!
We loved every bit of this day trip. Get ready to walk and learn this trip is filled with lots of great learning g opportunities and we even got to go into a “hidden “ area. Fernanda is engaging and insightful. Careful with the lunch they take you too… lol prices are high food is mid. Pro tip: eat a big breakfast light lunch and take some snacks do you can make it through the day.

Tour & learn - Alexa and Arturo our guide and driver were excellent, we learned so much about various indigenous tribes throughout Mexico - a deep and brutal history! Restaurant for lunch is the reason only 4/5 stars, slow service and food not very good

Worth it! - A good tour overall! You see a lot of things in one day that would be very difficult to organize on your own, and much more expensive. However, the tour guide's presentation was a bit chaotic. Just a lot of random ideas thrown out there with no connection to one another or any sense of timeline. I had to read up on the sites myself afterward to make sense of it all. No guarantee you'd get the same guide on your visit, though, and even if you did, it would still be worth it!

Good but could be better - Alicia did a great job explaining the sites and the history behind them.
I think the tour itself could've spent much more time at Tlateloco. We basically had no time to actually explore the site and 1 min to go into the church. I only saw most of the site when we drove around. That was a major bummer because it looked very cool. Way too little time spent here and way too much at the Guadalupe shrine but my bias is I think the catholic church is a terrible organization so I don't care about anything relating to it, honestly. We also spent way, way, way too much time at the lunch and tequila tasting spot. Over 2 hrs? That was ridiculous. We were given like 45 min to browse the overpriced gift shop?? I would've rather spent that time at tlateloco or at the teotihuacan. Essentially, Alice was excellent and it was things outside of her control dictated by the tour company that made it meh. Good day, but I'd probably just go to those sites alone in the future.
