Great tour and informational - Thanks to our driver Edgar and the tour guide Cesar for providing a well organized tour. It was extremely interesting tour and you could tell how Cesar loved this subject and answered questions that we had. We learned so much about symbols that you see and the people who lived there and the pyramids. We also got to climb to the top of the last pyramid. It is such a unique place and beautiful.

An Amazing Day with an Equally Amazing Guide… - We loved the day we spend at Teotihuacan and our guide Julia made it infinitely better. Her knowledge of the area and culture were unmatched and having her all to ourselves for our time there was well worth the cost.

A perfect excursion! - I love the pick up at my hotel and the dedicated attentions we received from our guide Rosa Maria. Very good pre-trip communication about the schedule, what to expect and recommendations for what to bring to make the trip as comfortable and productive as possible. Rosa Maria is very knowledgeable about the Teotihuacán area and the pyramids there. Education on the background about Teotihuacan and the State of Mexico. I love learning all the details about Mexico City. I was so intrigued about Nopal as food that I was determined to try it, which I was able to the next day on a different tour coincidently and it was delicious! She dropped us off after the tour in the Hospital Historical district, recommended The House f Tile for lunch. It was a long wait (50 minutes) but well worth it!! She also recommended the Ideal Bakery, IT WAS AMAZING!! I’ve never seen anything like it before! She is an excellent tour guide for this tour. Also appreciate the lesson on the Lady of Quadalupe holiday from December 9-12 being the more important holidays than Christmas, and 12 million people came to celebrate. Overall, I LOVE THIS TRIP. The only thing I wished is to have time to shop for Teotihuacan crafts.

Our guide Cesar and... - Our guide Cesar and driver Alejandro were excellent. Early to pick us up. Very congenial. Cesar had a wealth of knowledge he was anxious to share. He has clearly studied Teotihuacan and Mayan history thoroughly and is up on the latest discoveries.

Excellent Guide and Driver - We had an excellent time with our tour guide Rosa Maria and the driver Federico (I may have misspelled his name, sorry in advance). Rosa is super enthusiastic, responsive, and keeps your spirits up with the way she tell the story of, not only the Teotihuacan but Mexico in general. She knows the area and the city well and she will give you recommendations of things/places to go/eat etc. She is very flexible during the tour, and you can spend as much time as you want in the areas whether to take photos, explore in detail etc. And for a 100% private tour (it was just my wife and I), the cost is reasonable. Federico is also an excellent driver. First of all, the car is very clean and well maintained. Majority of the taxi and Uber cars can be old but this one was excellent. He is also a very safe driver. Thank you to both very much for your time and great companionship.
