Highlights
- Teotihuacan Pyramids - Teotihuacan is the biggest archaeological site in Mexico. Exploring this place can take a long time and can be exhausting if you don’t know where to start. This tour is designed to make sure you visit the three main temples without having to walk too much. \n\nYou will be at what used to be the most powerfulcity in the Americas almost 2000 years ago! You will learn about the Quetzalcoatl temple (a must see and usually skipped highlight) at the citadel, the Pyramids of the Sun and the moon are part of the itinerary as well. \n\nYour professional guide will also take you to the Quetzalpapalotl palace. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to admire some of the best well preserved murals.\n\nLater on, you’ll have the possibility to decide if you want to have a lunch break before going back to CDMX or closer to the Shrine of Guadalupe. You will always have the freedom to decide where to go, however, your guide can also suggest some of the best restaurants in Teotihuacan or back in CDMX.\n\n\n- Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe - After having a delicious meal, your guide will drive you to the second most visited Catholic Church in the world; The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the north of CDMX.\n\nHere, you will admire some beautiful baroque churches and the “supernatural” painting of Guadalupe at the modern Basilica. Your guide will explain why this is a very important and meaningful place not just for catholics but also for Mexicans in general. \n\nIt is shocking to see how thousands of people still believe and embrace the story of the appearance of Guadalupe in 1531. You’ll find out why it became such a popular tale and learn about its impact today in the Mexican (and global society).\n\nLastly, you will be taken back to your hotel safely. Remember that you will always go at your own pace and will have the possibility to make as many suggestions on the go!

This makes it perfect for people who want to make the most of their time here without having to walk too much (we guarantee you’ll see much more than on a traditional tour!). We also won’t take you to tourist traps and will provide you with options to choose where you want to have lunch (if you require it), so you will always have control over your time.

A+ Private Tour - I would highly recommend the private tour to Teotihuacan and the Basilica. David and Francisco were absolutely wonderful guides. They are both so knowledgeable and friendly and go out of their way to make sure the trip is tailored to your interests and pace. They took us off the beaten path to see sites with no other people around, brought us to a fabulous lunch, and were so happy to answer our many questions. I’ve done a lot of tours and this is one of the best!

Fabulous Tour, Fabulous Fabio - I could not have made a better choice if I tried. Fabio was such an excellent guide, full of historical knowledge delivered with such passion it was so contagious. Every next thing we were to see was "remarkable or facinating" and it actually was! I thoroughly enjoyed the day and we moved at a very comfortable pace. He was helpful in recommending fabulous meal venues and choices and he is a careful driver. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone.

Enjoyable experience to Teotihuacan - We had a great time! David and Francisco were knowledgeable and friendly; they made the experience very enjoyable and ensured that we knew that this was our tour and that we could go as fast or as slowly as we wanted. They also gave us options for what to see and where we could go. They picked us up on time and were prepared with water to drink and sunblock. I would definitely recommend this tour and trust booking through the Viator site!!!

Excellent experience - Francisco and David were excellent tour guides for our family - knowledgeable, experienced, and great to spend a day with. In addition to taking us to the key monuments in Teotihuacán, we also saw additional sites where we were practically the only visitors there. They took us to a very good local restaurant and finally to the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe- a full day but very well paced and never too much. Highly recommend!

Fun and memorable - We had the best time with David today. He showed us the pyramids and gave us a history lesson. We enjoyed every bit of it!
We also requested traditional food, and he delivered! We had the best meal in Mexico.
I was a bit skeptical about a private tour but not anymore. It is worth it especially with David.

If you only do one private tour in Mexico City, make it this one! - Eddy was a fantastic guide! I learned so much more about this extraordinary place than if I had gone alone. Also, riding in a car directly to the site saves so much time and energy, plus you get to learn as much as you want while en route. I don’t always take private tours, but this one is definitely worth it. Highly recommend.
