Highlights
  • Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan - Discover the secrets of past cultures among imposing pyramids, avoid crowds by being one of the first to reach this majestic archeological site.

Starting in a private vehicle from your accommodation, we will leave Mexico City early to avoid city traffic and crowds at the pyramids. Our route around the site will include an in-depth examination of the three most significant Teotihuacan structures: the pyramids of Luna, Sun and Feathered Serpent. Our expert certified guide will delve into the stories, traditions and sacred rights that date back to the classical Mesoamerican era. We will have the option of climbing the steep steps of a pyramid, where our guide can point out the geographical influence of Teotihuacan in the neighboring regions. Our path will also lead us to several important compounds with murals before the Mayans and Aztecs, and we will learn about these palace designs and the artistic style that permeated not only the ancient Teotihuacan society but many Mesoamerican civilizations for millennia.

In the end we will have a tasting of traditional drinks such as pulque, tequila and mezcal.

Wonderful visit to Teotihuacan - This was a fantastic private tour. The guide Yosef and driver Erik were both excellent and were available for a last minute booking.Yosef was very experienced, travels around Mexico as a guide, and was able to adjust his narration and the experience based on our interest and questions. Teotihuacan is a must see for anyone visiting Mexico — we have seen Mitla and Chichen Itza but this was still unique. We also highly appreciate the guide and driver’s flexibility to adjust our itinerary to include lunch at La Gruta instead of the tequila/pulque tasting experience. Would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent guide and experience - Hector was an amazing guide and did very well with our family of 3. He even kept our 5 year old interested:). He took great pictures of us throughout and was very adaptable to what we wanted to do. He really knew the history and was very personable. The Teotihuacan pyramids are well worth the trip!

You can’t find a better guide! - Aldo has an impressive knowledge of history, art, sociology, and architecture which he weaves into a fun and inspiring tour. Afterward our tour, he suggested fabulous un-touristy spots to eat and drink on our own. Kind, attentive, helpful - you cannot go wrong with Aldo and our driver Paco.

Best tour!! - My sister and I had a great experience on this tour! Aldo was our guide and Paco our driver. Aldo was so informative and answered all of our questions! He catered the tour to what we wanted to see. We learned so much about the site and so much history. We also left something in the car and he dropped it off at our place the next day - he went above and beyond. Highly recommend!!

Superb guide of the pyramids! - Yvan is a superb guide who strikes the right balance between historical background and currentday significance of the pyramids and surroundings. I loved his depth of knowledge and his beautiful narrative about the murals, ornaments, and the mythological/religious meanings of them. We were also grateful for Yvan‘s excellent English. Thank you!!!
