Bruno was an amazing tour... - Bruno was an amazing tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour really engaging. He was also very attentive and made sure to offer us bathroom breaks, opportunities to grab water/snacks, and checking in with us through all the walking to make sure we were doing ok. He was even able to answer some of the additional questions we had during the tour. We were lucky to have the tour to ourselves since it was the offseason but I would definitely recommend to all those who want a more museum-level tour of the pyramids with more stops about the history and background of the people who lived at the site in addition to the beautiful sights of the pyramids.

Essential Tour of Teotihuacan - Gio communicates his knowledge and passion for the area in an authentic way! - Book this now and save yourself the time. Gio is so knowledgeable, passionate, and genuine. He creates a very comfortable environment where you're able to learn about the socio-political, spiritual, and ethnographic history of the area. Totally transformed our experience of Teotihuacan. It was just us and one other couple for the day so very intimate. You arrive early to see the site before too many people arrive and you get to hit an amazing pastry spot before - pro tip, Gio loves chocolate so buy him a hot chocolate and a chocolate croissant for brownie points. Have already recommended this tour to many friends visiting CDMX.

5/5 - highly recommend this expert tour - My partner and I attended Gio’s tour on the recommendation of another guide and it was truly fantastic.
Logistics were straight forward, Gio was communicative, well organised and pick up on time. Drive was really comfortable in Gio and Kevin’s van.
The tour was brilliant, Gio is clearly an expert on the site , and weaved together the political, social, historical and religious / mythological elements of Teotihuacan - it was really thorough and the interesting. (Thanks for answering all of my questions!)
If you’re looking for a quality small tour, look no further.

Amazing visit with Gio ! - This tour was recommended by another tour guide and we were so happy to choose Gio to discover the incredible Teotihuacan. Gio is very knowlegable, answersed all of our questions (about the site but also gave us great recs for tacos !). We visit the main sites, but also a place a bit further away where most tour groups hardly ever go to, we felt very priviledged !
We are usually very picky about our guides, and we truly recommend this tour : being in small group, arriving early, all made this truly magical !
Thank you again so much Gio !!

Gio is awesome! 10/10 for Anthropology, Archeology, Mythology, History, etc! - Gio is an expert in his field and was incredible! He seamlessly wove together archeological, mythological, geological, and historical information and stories to create a comprehensive and in depth tour of the larger history as well as daily live at Teotihuacán. The tour included visiting the larger pyramids/sites as well as areas a little more off the beaten path to learn more about the murals and life outside of the main temples. Gio answered every question and it’s clear he is really passionate about anthropology and knows a LOT! This would be a great tour for history nerds and those who want to spend way more time learning than shopping. That being said, we did pass by lots of opportunities for souvenirs (though we didn’t get any). This was a perfect tour. Thank you so much Gio! Cannot recommend his tour enough.

Fantastic tour - learned so much Teotihuacan - Gio was a fantastic tour guide, extremely knowledgeable about the site, its history, building techniques, and was able to answer all of our questions. We learned so much listening to Gio and couldn’t have asked for a better day. Our meeting spot was easy to find, and we had a comfortable ride to and from the site. The stop at the bakery to get the day going was appreciated and they also have delicious pastries. Thanks Gio!

Perfecto! - 10/10 experience! The pick up time was early (6:45 am) but was well worth it because Gio included a stop at Panaderia Rosetta before we hit the road - 2 birds and 1 stone! The van was comfy and air conditioned, and Gio was very knowledgable on this history of the area and it's peoples. It was really nice to be there early to beat the crowds and the heat! DO have some pesos on hand to buy some ice cream before you head back to CDMX :)

Really interesting. - We had a really amazing morning with Gio - he is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and answered loads of questions from everyone.
The day was really nicely paced, it was great to go to the bakery in the morning and there was also an hour at the end to wander unguided.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
