Great guide(Christopher), and very good tour with enough time at the pyramids with excellent présentation on the site by the guide.
Thanks Jacques! We're so happy you were pleased with our service. We hope to have you join us in another one of our tours soon!
A very well organized tour, with a fairly experienced guide at all points traveled, fully recommended
Our tour guide Toni was very helpful and overall the tour was great. It might have been useful to know more about the lunch options in advance but overall highly recommended.
A very enjoyable day, would highly recommend. The pyramids were amazing. Stopping for an authentic Mexican cuisine experience also made the day.
Toni gave us a wonderful trip, he knew everything about the mathematics behind Teotihuacan. It was really cool and well organized. One little point of feedback is that the second stop seemed a little unnecessary to me, I’d prefer more time at Teotihuacan.
Teotihuacan was amazing but the tour was not. The tour guide gave barely information on the bus ride and then left us to walk around by ourselves at the pyramids and at the Basilica. We only got 2 hours at Teotihuacan which was not long enough and spent 1.5 hours at an overpriced touristy restaurant for lunch.
I'm so sorry to learn you didn't have the best experience with us. We will check very closely the work of the guide that went your tour that day to make sure this never happens again. I hope you join us again soon, I'm sure you'll see the difference
Very good information and time, have a good trip, I recommend it. Good stay and good service from the staff in charge of the tour.
Gracias por tus comentarios! Los compartiremos con el equipo, pues es muy importante saber que nuestros clientes quedan satisfechos!
Toni's vibe and vision are very good! A different experience when visiting the pyramids and the Mexica culture, the Basilica is incredible!
Gracias por tus comentarios, nos da mucho gusto saber que quedaste satisfecho con el servicio!
The transport was safe. However the tour had almost zero information about teotihuacan. The guide was talking about the Aztec calendar instead the whole time even though teotihuacan is pre aztec. The main reason we booked the tour was to learn about the pyramids but instead we were told about numbers for hours. I wouldn’t recommend, especially as you do a stop at an extremely expensive gift shop for nearly an hour and then later for food at quite an expensive restaurant only catered for your groups. Took the whole day but were only at the pyramids for an hour and 45mins. Chose another company. The guide was nice but didn’t seem knowledgeable on the place, especially when asked questions there was often no real answer.
We are so sorry to know you didn't have the best time at the tour. We work really hard everyday to please our customers. We will evaluate much closer the work of the specific tour guide that went with your group that day, and take all necessary measures to make sure this doesn't happen again. It is designed to be both a fun and an informative tour, it is really disappointing to know that we didn't meet your expectations. However we will work really hard to improve, and pay special attention on your specific points. I'm sure if you give us another chance you will see the difference
I loved it. It was a nice experience. I undertook a lot about the pyramids and the basilica of Guadeloupe. I do recommend it to people who do.
Gracias por tus comentarios! Trabajamos muy duro todos los días para hacernos tu trabajo lo mejor posible, y saber que nuestros clientes quedan satisfechos es nuestra mejor recompensa. Fue un placer atenderte!
