What to do and see in San Juan Teotihuacan, Estado de Mexico: The Best Sightseeing Tours

July 31, 2021 Oliva Fomby

Teotihuacán is a town and municipality located in the State of Mexico. It is in the northeast of the Valley of Mexico, 45 km northeast of Mexico City and 119 km from the state capital of Toluca. Teotihuacan takes its name from the ancient city and World Heritage site that is located next to the municipal seat. "Teotihuacan" is from Nahuatl and means "place of the gods." In Nahua mythology the sun and the moon were created here. The seal of the municipality features the Pyramid of the Sun from the archeological site, which represents the four cardinal directions. The building is tied to a character that represents water which is linked to an arm that is joined to the head of an indigenous person who is seated and speaking. This person represents a god. Much of the history of the area has been tied to the ancient city, most recently involves controversy connected with commerce and development around the site.

We took a tour with Pancho and Mario, who brought 8 of us from a cruise ship to see the sights of Acapulco in a comfortable air conditioned small bus. The guides’ passion for their hometown was obvious and endearing. They told stories about the places AND the people we saw, whom they waved to as we drove past. We visited 4 interesting sites, and Mario took pictures of the group that he later emailed to us. We had great seats on a shady balcony to watch the divers at Quebrada while enjoying a cold drink. Clearly, our guides were well known and very experienced in making visitors enjoy their city. After the formal tour, they suggested a great authentic restaurant for lunch, and got us back to the ship. Great fun, interesting color commentary and expert guides.

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

We booked a several day tour with Estigo. The owner Gonzalo was super responsive and helpful. He hooked us up with Mariana and her van Gordita in CDMX and it was perfect. Mariana was like a friend, nanny, and tour guide. She picked us up from the airport and spent pretty much 4 days with us. The price was really reasonable. Mariana will have a place in our heart and we look forward to seeing her again.

Flying in a hot air balloon is quite exciting, but what if you do it in the archeological site or the Pyramids of Teotihucán. You can take this early flight and get an impressive view of the pyramids, afterward you will enjoy great breakfast included in your experience in a very traditional Mexican place.

Great guys, very client-oriented and adaptive to one’s needs. Took several tours (Puebla, Teotihuacan, Coyoacan, Xochimilco) with them, no regrets. Special thanks to the guide Armando, who really loves what he does :)

This experience begins with flexibility in the schedule, although we suggest starting it at 08:00 am, we can adjust to the schedules of our clients. We want to show our city as friends rather than as a regular tour company. We invite you to get to know this attraction with us so that you can enjoy it to the fullest. In our experiences we understand you may need time to be in the attraction, therefore there is never a rush and you can spend as long as you want in the pyramids.

AMAZING!!! Beautiful balloon ride with an incredible sunrise. Pilot was so professional and was a very safe and fun man. After the balloon ride we had a great breakfast and then it was over to Teotihuacan for a private tour through the archeological site. Amazing history! Our guide Armando is such a great guy, very personable, knowledgeable and a perfect driver around the streets of Mexico City. We really had an amazing time with Armando. Rene who helped us put together our 4 days of tours was the best most organized, perfect communicator and overall good guy. When going to a big city for the first time you want to maximize your time, Rene tailored our tours based on things that were important to us and the timeframe we had available to us. We felt like Rene and Armando were like our family while we visited Mexico City, so nice to feel we had the real locals watching out for us. I would HIGHLY recommend Stepping Mexico for anyone wanting to do some unique adventures! Mahalo Armando and Rene!!
