5-star pyramid tour - Our private tour with Diana was such a great learning experience! We just thought “pyramids,” but it’s really a whole city. Diana was incredible. There wasn’t a question we threw at her that she couldn’t answer. Highly recommend!

Convenient pickup and great guide! - We had a great tour. We were picked up promptly at 7 at our hotel in Reforma and were dropped off at 12. We didn’t feel rushed and coming before the rest of the crowds did was very clutch. Would recommend!

As advertised, an excellent tour - Our certified guide, Rosa Maria, studied archaeology so she had real understanding of the work done on-site and was an excellent guide providing lots of details and interesting facts. She also kept us safe from the fire ants! Our driver, Christian, was courteous, efficient and on-time all day. The tour was an excellent experience with this team. We were very happy we went with them and you will be too.

Fabulous experience! - Diana is one of the best guides we’ve ever had! She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and engaging. Our 20 and 25 year old sons truly enjoyed the experience thanks to her. Highly recommend this tour and this guide.

Diana was a great tour guide - I was immensely impressed by the sophistication of ancient Mexican culture - at Teotihuacan and later in the Anthropology Museum. Also embarrassed about how little I learned about it in K-12 and college world history. Diana was a great tour guide. All the logistics were smooth.

Experience the World View - Yosaft was a WONDERFUL guide. He provided so much information, lots of helpful pictures so that you could really appreciate the site. I felt like I left with an incredible understanding of the historical significance of Teotihuacan as an architectural marvel, but also the "world view" of the people who lived here in a way I could really memorialize the experience. The balloon ride was so worthwhile—to see the sites from the air was incredible. As a nervous flyer who was a bit skiddish, it was awesome - like an open air elevator. I also want to share that I had a personal crisis (really bad scam call) happen on the way back from the site. Yosaft could tell I was distressed and offered to call the embassy who immediately informed me that it was a spam. They almost got me and as a result, Yosaft is my hero.

A Fantastic Day at Teotihuacan Thanks to Cesar - I had an incredible experience with the Teotihuacan Express Private Tour from Mexico City, and our guide Cesar made it absolutely exceptional. From the moment he picked us up, the process was smooth, timely, and effortless. Cesar was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the history of Teotihuacan and Mexican culture. He offered great suggestions throughout the day, tailoring the experience to our interests while sharing fascinating insights that brought the ancient city to life. The entire tour felt seamless, enjoyable, and deeply enriching. It truly made for a fantastic day of exploring and learning, and I cannot recommend this tour—and Cesar—highly enough. If you’re looking for a memorable and informative visit to Teotihuacan, this is the way to go!
