“Highlight of our trip to CDMX! - This was an awesome experience! Our guide, Roy, was very friendly, entertaining, and spoke English well. He shared a lot of interesting information. The Pyramids were breathtaking and he made sure we saw the third one which is a trek but well worth it (you are still allowed to climb it). After the pyramids, we went into town for Pulque tasting and to see different types of obsidian art. We then went to another town for a delicious lunch with a local family. It was fun to take public transportation with Roy as that was our preferred method of getting around Mexico City. Highly recommend this experience!” - Reviewed on 2024-12-01
