Amazing experience with an incredible guide - Ana was THE BEST!!! 100% would recommend - Our group did the free walking tour of the historic centre (Emiliano was our guide - he was also incredible would 100% recommend). The tour was so amazing that we signed up for a private tour of Teotihuacan. Our guide Ana was amazing - she knew everything. The tour was customized to us so we were able to go at our own pace. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour company.

Amazing experience with helpful and knowledgable guide Ana - I had a 10 hours layover at Mexico City, so I booked Teotihuacan Sightseeing and also the Downtown City Tour. It was the best way to spend virtually a whole day in transit. Ana was very professional, and knowledgeable. She took me through Teotihuacan in a pace that is comfortable to me, and educated me on the history and mythology of this ancient city with its many temples and pyramids. After amazing 3 hours at Teotihuacan, we went to downtown Mexico, and she took me through all the important buildings, architectures, and some ancient ruins in the middle of the city. I learnt a lot more about Mexico City, and I feel that I want to come back to Mexico City in the future to spend more time in this wonderful city and in this wonderful country.

An effective use of limited time - We had spent 3 days in Mexico City and had a late afternoon flight on the 4th day, so I decided to book a private tour to Teotihuacan with Mexico a Pie. This was a great choice and very economical for a private tour which finished with a transfer to the airport. Andres picked us up from our hotel at 8am, where we also met Arturo our qualified guide for the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed both their company and the informative tour of the site. Arturo even managed to coax my wife in to climbing all 3 pyramids, A feat she had not planned to accomplish after suffering museum fatigue the previous day.

Amazing Tour with Arturo! - We were inspired to book our Teotihuacan trip with México a Pie after a free walking tour of the Zócalo with Adriana. Arturo is an archaeology student and was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our needs. When I was nervous climbing the first pyramid, he was patient and let me hold onto his shoulder as we went down; I eventually got over my fear of the heights and climbed the others like a pro! We could not have asked for a better tour guide and company to help us explore Mexico City for the first time, and we hope to use them again!
