We booked this tour based on it's itinerary and reviews. We do enjoy an occasional private tour. We were picked up on time at our hotel. Veronica was our guide and was amazing. We went to a flower market before getting on the floating boat. The ride was lovely. Veronica told us a lot about the city it's history and culture. We went to the Diego Rivera museum which is amazing. Then to the Coyocan market where we grabbed a bite to eat and have some free time. Then the Frida Kahlo museum which is a must see. The driver was excellent, smoothly guiding us around the city. We also stopped at the University which wads fascinating. Veronica is very proud of her city and it shows. Her energy and enthusiasm were palpable. The price for what you get is a real bargain. Highly recommend

I cannot recommend my tour guide Pepe enough. I ended up getting a private tour as the rest of the group canceled. Despite the small group, Pepe was enthusiastic the whole trip and I was able to learn so much from him. Unfortunately, much of the park was closed (cannot climb either pyramid at the moment) but Pepe made an effort to describe what I couldn't see.

OVERVIEW During this private 6h tour you will get acquainted with Teotihuacan - the capital of the first Mesoamerican empire & one of the oldest cities in the western hemisphere whose exact age is still unknown. The "birthplace of the gods", as its name is translated from Nahuatl, Teotihuacan is famous for its magnificent pyramids of the Sun and the Moon and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. WHY GO WITH US The time of the tour is spent purely on sightseeing: no visits to souvenir shops/restaurants (unless you ask). An ideal choice for small groups: the price of the tour is fixed & varies just slightly depending on the size of the group. We are flexible: departure time, program & route can be adjusted while the duration of the tour can be always extended for an extra fee. When booking, choose whether to visit just Teotihuacan ("Teotihuacan (only)" option) or also see other attractions ("Teotihuacan + Mexico City/Guadalupe Shrine/hot air balloon, etc." tour options).

Inclusions: Transportation in private vehicle, Guided visit to Teotihuacan Archaeological Zone, Service of a private guide , Non-alcoholic drinks & snacks, Hotel pick-up & drop-off

Exclusions: Travel insurance, meals, tips

Our tour guide Arturo and our driver, also named Arturo, were excellent host and guide. He gave us the history of the Mexican country that helped us understand the pyramids and basilica of Guadalupe. They never let us out of their site and we never felt rushed. Having 3 young kids with my wife and I, they made sure we were well taken care of the entire time, Arturos depth of knowledge was much appreciated. This is a must do tour if visiting Mexico City.
