Highlights
- Teotihuacan Pyramids - Teotihuacan is the biggest archaeological site in Mexico. Exploring this place can take a long time and can be exhausting if you don’t know where to start. This tour is designed to make sure you visit the three main temples without having to walk too much. \n\nYou will be at what used to be the most powerfulcity in the Americas almost 2000 years ago! You will learn about the Quetzalcoatl temple (a must see and usually skipped highlight) at the citadel, the Pyramids of the Sun and the moon are part of the itinerary as well. \n\nYour professional guide will also take you to the Quetzalpapalotl palace. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to admire some of the best well preserved murals.\n\nLater on, you’ll have the possibility to decide if you want to have a lunch break before going back to CDMX or closer to the Shrine of Guadalupe. You will always have the freedom to decide where to go, however, your guide can also suggest some of the best restaurants in Teotihuacan or back in CDMX.\n\n\n- Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe - After having a delicious meal, your guide will drive you to the second most visited Catholic Church in the world; The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the north of CDMX.\n\nHere, you will admire some beautiful baroque churches and the “supernatural” painting of Guadalupe at the modern Basilica. Your guide will explain why this is a very important and meaningful place not just for catholics but also for Mexicans in general. \n\nIt is shocking to see how thousands of people still believe and embrace the story of the appearance of Guadalupe in 1531. You’ll find out why it became such a popular tale and learn about its impact today in the Mexican (and global society).\n\nLastly, you will be taken back to your hotel safely. Remember that you will always go at your own pace and will have the possibility to make as many suggestions on the go!

This is the best private tour of Teotihuacan and Basilica! - Trust me, just go ahead and book it. You must ask for Edgar, he is the best guide ever, fully prepared and knowledgeable.
You must do a private tour with him, it's worth every single dollar and because it's a private tour, you can take your time and won't be rush.
Edgar is also an awesome photographer, which means you are guaranteed to have amazing photos.
His knowledge of the place and Mexico is top notch. I learned so much from him that other tours failed to mentioned. Highly recommended! I had an absolutely superb time with Edgar.

A fun, comfortable, and enjoyable tour! - The tour to Teotihuacan and Basilica were amazing! David was the best tour guide - very personable, informative, nice, and caring. I went with my husband and grandma and he made sure we were always comfortable, especially my 80year old grandma. He brought water with him and made sure that we had sufficient restroom and food breaks. David really went above and beyond, I highly recommend him as a tour guide to anyone who is considering a tour. The private tour was great because you really get to go at your own pace. Thank you for everything David!

Worth it! - First, let me thank David, the best guide! Not only was he on time, had complete and deep knowledge of the sites we were visiting, but was also very welcoming and caring. We hada wonderful time the entire day. I highly recommend David and will definitely use them again and again as we travel to Mexico City and surroundings.

Tacos and hidden gems! - Juan was an excellent tour guide and made us feel comfortable right at the start. We booked a private tour just my friend and I and he ensured we saw everything, even stopping to see some of the pyramid sites that other tour groups skip over. Instead of having lunch at a big touristy restaurant, we had authentic tacos at a Roadside stand that were insanely good but he asked our preference first. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the topics. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone. Don't look any further, just book it. You won't be disappointed.

Mother’s Day get away - We were 5 adults and three children. We had two days planned with sights to see. I would refer this tour guide over and over again. David, really took into account our children and my mom who is older. The history and the walking tours and eats were beyond what we expected. By far one of our best experiences in Mexico City and we have visited before many times and taken different tours. We will definitely book again.

Fantastic private tour experience - We just finished our tour with Juan and could not be happier with the experience. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating to our interests and schedule. He took us to some of the most interesting parts of the pyramid grounds that were off the beaten path—so much so that literally no other tourist visited that area while we were there. He picked us up and dropped us off, he drove more calmly and professionally than any Uber driver here we have encountered, and he took us to a great restaurant for lunch where we ate a delicious Molcajete Mixto together. We would recommend this tour service to anyone and everyone wanting a private tour experience in or around CDMX.

A wonderful tour - Wonderful guided tour! Eddy, my guide was amazing! Very personable, had thought carefully about the sequencing and route for optimal experience - first museum, then pyramid of sun, etc. - I was looking for a guide who would bring the antiquities to life and at the same time stick to rigorous science and facts about what we know about Tenotihuacan and what it is simply a hypothesis. What is original and what is reconstruction. Eddy delivered on so many levels - very personable and easy to talk to; time flew by. I loved it. The Basilica was also fascinating.

Pleasant day, very customizable - We really enjoyed our tour and I would recommend it for anyone who wants more insight into the pyramids and the basilica. The guide Eddy was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. He was able to customize the itinerary to help with my parents who can’t walk very far in the heat, skipping unnecessary trekking, and meeting us with the car. Tour was on time and avoided tourist traps, and he had good meal recommendations. Great experience! Would recommend again.

Pyramid of Sun and moon tour and more - David was a great guide. He shared a lot of the history of Mexico and Teotihuacan with us. He took us to out of the way places where we could experience more of and learn about the Teotihuacan culture. I highly recommend David and Transporte Especializado Yurismo for your future tours.
