Experienced and Welcoming! - Miriam was great, and Julio (driver) was seamless when taking to each destination spot on the tour. She provided great details at each site we were at. Both are very friendly and kind. She makes sure everyone is together. I recommend this tour, especially at the value it was at!
Our tour group was very social and international. We all talked to each other during breaks and rest points. It was also great learning from each individual in the group! Aside from learning about the different tour spots, we also got learn about each other's respective states and countries.

Great experience and a very informative guide - Our great guide was louis. He took us carefully through the bus system, I always prefer to use local buses for the experience as well as environmental reasons. He explained very well and fluently about the history (as much as is known), tied together information we have gathered in other part of the day. He took us to all the impressive pyramids as well as living residency, but just seeing them without the explanation would not have been the same. The information he gave us about the history, symbols and religion was useful throughout our entire stay in Mexico (we could see similar symbols and recognize what god is related with a place). We could also ask him questions we had from our visit in the anthropology museum.
After doing a few more tours Louis was by far the best one we had all trip, I wish we tipped him more :) Super recommended and an affordable price!

Exceptional tours with consistently high-quality guides - We've been in Mexico City for a month and have done several walking tours plus this Teotihuacan tour plus several free walking tours. We happened to pick the right company because Estacion Mexico has been exceptional on every one. Carmina, our guide for the Teotihuacan tour was so detailed and informative -- the perfect guide for this outing (I believe she does Wed, Sat, and Sun tours). Every single tour we've done with this group has been terrific. In CDMX we will always seek out the pink umbrellas!

Mexicable and much more! - We had a fantastic time with our guide Fernando! He had so much colorful information about the Mexicable and all of the areas it affects. His English was superb, and he did a great job switching languages. We originally planned to do this trip on our own, but it far far, far better with his knowledge. I especially enjoyed the Utopia visit. Bravo! We’ve been 3 for 3 successes with Viator.

Great day and learning at Teotihuacan - Well organized and very easy. Start at Palacio de Bellas Artes and take the local bus to the bigger bus that takes you to the pyramids followed by a quick ATV ride to one of the entrance gates. So easy to just follow along with the group. Good historical stories, etc. Really loved the personal attention and friendly guide.

Group Tour to Teotihuacan Archeological Site - Highly Recommend! - Our group was with tour guide Alejandro who was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgable, and took time to answer all our questions and give us history of the archeological site. He also recommended so many other things to do in Mexico City which was super helpful, and taking the public transit up to Teotihuacan was so informative as we were able to see cities outside the main Mexico City area. Alejandro really cared about us thinking critically about the ruins so I felt like I got to really engross myself in the history. He also introduced us to a friend of his who gave a demonstration about how colored pigments were obtained in the ancient cities. Alejandro was also so kind as to (with permission of course) take photos of us with his camera and share them, so we got some great photos from our experience. Overall, highly recommend this experience! Wonderful all around.
