Highlights
  • Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan - Discover the secrets of past cultures among imposing pyramids, avoid crowds by being one of the first to reach this majestic archeological site.

Starting in a private vehicle from your accommodation, we will leave Mexico City early to avoid city traffic and crowds at the pyramids. Our route around the site will include an in-depth examination of the three most significant Teotihuacan structures: the pyramids of Luna, Sun and Feathered Serpent. Our expert certified guide will delve into the stories, traditions and sacred rights that date back to the classical Mesoamerican era. We will have the option of climbing the steep steps of a pyramid, where our guide can point out the geographical influence of Teotihuacan in the neighboring regions. Our path will also lead us to several important compounds with murals before the Mayans and Aztecs, and we will learn about these palace designs and the artistic style that permeated not only the ancient Teotihuacan society but many Mesoamerican civilizations for millennia.

In the end we will have a tasting of traditional drinks such as pulque, tequila and mezcal.

Great Pyramids Tour with Hector - Our tour guide was Hector, and he was great! We really enjoyed listening to his commentary, but it was not overwhelming and he was able to answer all of our questions. Very knowledgeable, also, he is a great singer in the car :-)

Jose is an amazing guide! - It was indeed a private tour - just the two of us plus our wonderful guide Jose, and our friendly driver Adan. During the hour-long ride from the CDMX Roma neighborhood to Teotihuacan, Jose told us about the surrounding region, the history of the city, the types of trees we were seeing - Adan navigated the busy roads reassuringly. Park admissions were all handled by Jose - we were immediately waved through on arrival at the ruins. Jose took us through the most significant parts of the site - the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent, the Pyramid of the Moon, the Pyramid of the Sun, the Way of the Dead, and the palaces of the priests, all the time giving us fascinating background into the history of the structures, the culture, mythology, and past and ongoing archaeological investigations. He expertly fielded all of our questions and gave us additional insight with a visual guide he had brought along. We were spared some of the walking by Adan, who dropped us off and picked us up at convenient locations. Seeing other large groups being shepherded through the site by shouty guides made us all the more grateful for Jose's expertise, friendliness, and efficiency. All in all a wonderful experience which we highly recommend.
