Amazing Private Tour to Teotihuacan - A Must-Do Experience! - We had an incredible experience on our private express tour from Mexico City to Teotihuacan! From start to finish, everything was seamless and enjoyable. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about the history and culture of Teotihuacan, making the ancient ruins come alive with fascinating stories and insights. The convenience of a private tour cannot be overstated. We were picked up directly from our hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, and the flexibility of the tour allowed us to explore at our own pace. We never felt rushed and had ample time to take in the awe-inspiring pyramids and breathtaking views. One of the highlights was climbing one of the smaller Pyramids, which was made even more special by the guide’s detailed explanations of its significance and history. The small details, like avoiding the busiest times and visiting lesser-known spots, made the tour feel truly personalised. This express tour was the perfect way to experience Teotihuacan, especially if you’re short on time but still want a deep, enriching experience. We highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Mexico City—it’s an unforgettable journey into the heart of ancient Mexico!

Highly recommended - This was perfect! It was our first time in Mexico and Diana was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. She explained about Mexico City & culture on the way and once we arrived shared many details about Teotihuacán while also showing pictures about how it might have looked here and there. The pace of this tour was just great and it was highly interesting! We also really appreciated her telling us about the tuna fruit - I do recommend trying it not only for the experience but also taste. Last but not least, the pickup from the hotel and drop off went really smooth. We started at 8am (back at about 1pm) and there were no issues with traffic or crowds at Teotihuacán. Thanks again!

Awesome tour guide/experience - We had the most amazing time with our tour guide Diana. She was extremely knowledgable and patient as we traveled with two small children. Diana and our driver picked us up at our hotel and then drove us to and from the pyramids. I strongly recommend this tour. You won't regret it!

Great tour guide to a great site - We had an incredible tour. Transportation couldn't have been smoother, and our tour guide was very knowledgable about the site and the history of both the construction of the templates and the history after they were abandoned.

Fantastic tour to learn about history and culture - Great guide with tons of information about the city, history and ruins. It was great to do an express tour so we could be back in time for lunch and other activities. We were one of the first few people to enter the sits and it was just starting to get hot when we left.

Excellent Private Tour - Excellent tour with Cesar. He has a deep knowledge of the Teotihuacán archaeological site and obvious passion of Mexican history in general, which brought this space alive for us. He was very flexible, picking us up a half hour early per our request and taking us to a local crafts market because we’d asked where we could find authentic products. This was a highlight of our trip to CDMX and we couldn’t recommend it enough!
