One of the best tours to take if you wanna see multiple archaeological sites. Sergio was very knowledgeable of each site - I rate this trip a 5. Sergio was a great tour guide very attentive. Very funny and entertaining throughout the entire tour. He is also very knowledgeable of Mexico’s history.

You will experience a lot more with a private tour - We’re were picked up on time in a nice and comfortable Honda at our hotel. We stopped first at Tula and it was unbelievable. The guide’s knowledge was amazing and that actually started in the city with an overview of Mexican history. It was a great day that included a stop for lunch that was delicious and served on an upper terrace. Next was Teotihuacán, it was a little late, but good. Much larger pyramids the expanse of which isn’t touched. Pro tip, ask about stopping at the third pyramid!

Day out at Tula & Teotihuacan - Just fantastic on every level - pick up as arranged from our hotel at 08.00 and then a great day out was had. Our guide was a fount of knowledge and our drive was comfortable & safe - cannot recommend highly enough. 5 green spots stars is the maximum we can give, but it is honestly less than is deserved!

So good that we did the tour again! - I did the Teotihuacan and Tula tour in October with Sergio, one of Freelance's guides. He is an absolutely phenomenal guide! So knowledge, kind, and funny. My great aunt came and he catered the tour to suit our different capacities, scheduling in rests and modifying the route when needed. We had such a good experience that when the rest of my family came a few weeks later, I booked the same tour again with Sergio. He is one of the best guides ever!

Fantastic guide, great itinerary - Sergio was a phenomenal tour guide. What a gift to learn from a man who has been teaching about Mexico for 47 years! He was very warm and welcoming, assessed our knowledge prior to starting and then crafted the tour accordingly. The car ride was relaxing and smooth. We loved exploring the ruins and hearing about the ancient cultures. The lunch was at a cute rest stop where you can taste authentic drinks and a table overlooking the pyramid. Loved this tour!

Excellent day in this private tour - Our tour guide and driver (duo) picked us up in a private van. Very nice ride, excellent tour guide (Carlos), and the day was just made very easy. We went at our own pace, the van was waiting for us at the exits at each stop, admission prices included, end of the day meal included (drinks and tip not included with the meal).

Best private tour ever! - Ramon was an absolutely outstanding guide. I've never spent a day with anyone more informative or engaging. Absolutely stellar! We can't recommend him enough. We kept peppering him with questions and he was happy to give us all the detail we could handle. It was just a delightful day! The itinerary was extremely well organized and Juan, our driver was excellent. Best tour ever!
