Itinerary
Currently, the ruins of the Plaza de las Tres Culturas correspond to the ceremonial precinct of Tlatelolco, which bears similarities to Tenochtitlan, both in logic and in the objective: to form a city where the market and trade were the main activity.
The Basilica of Santa María de Guadalupe, officially called Insigne and National Basilica of Santa María de Guadalupe, is a sanctuary of the Catholic Church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary in its dedication of Guadalupe, located at the foot of the Cerro del Tepeyac in the Gustavo City Hall A. Madero of Mexico City. It belongs to the First Archdiocese of Mexico through the Guadalupana Vicariate that since November 4, 2018 is under the care of Salvador Martínez Ávila who holds the title of General and Episcopal Vicar of Guadalupe and rector of the Sanctuary.1
The Pre-Hispanic City of Teotihuacan was one of the largest urban centers in the ancient world, which reached a population of more than 100,000 at the time of its greatest splendor. Located in a valley rich in natural resources, Teotihuacan was the seat of power of one of the most influential Mesoamerican societies in the political, economic, commercial, religious and cultural, whose features permanently marked the peoples of the Mexican highlands, transcending time and coming to us with the same strength and greatness with which its builders planned it.

Wow! We can't say enough good things about our experience. Ramon was so knowledgeable and knew the answer to every question we had. Him, along with his driver, Monte allowed us to take the tour at our own pace. We never felt rushed and could tailor the experience to what we wanted. He seemed generally excited to share all of his knowledge with us. Not only was it incredibly informational, but it was so much fun and exciting. The day went so smoothly with them taking care of every detail of our experience. Since there were protests outside of our hotel, they even met us in our lobby and walked us to where it was safe to be picked up. I would also highly recommend getting the included lunch, as even the meal was incredible overlooking the pyramids. We never felt pressured to stop at gift shops or to purchase things, but they were very flexible when we wanted to do so on our own accord. I can't recommend this experience enough! This was my second time booking this tour, and after experiencing as a solo traveler, I knew I wanted to do this again with my friend, and this time was even better than the last.
Both our guide and our driver were spectacular. Martha was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions as well! Would recommend if you can work with Martha to do so.
This was exactly what my group was looking for - A private tour that was catered to our specific needs; We had a specific time in mind to return home, and our incredible guide, Marta, was able to make it happen. The experience was completely seamless. A reminder email received the day before our reservation, asking that we confirm the tour the following day. On the morning of our tour, we opened our front gate at precisely our pick-up time to find Marta and our private van awaiting us on the street; It couldn't have been easier. Marta was helpful and kind, and her knowledge of the sites and the history of Mexico City in general was astounding. In our group of eleven, some had visited Teotihuacan and the Basilica before, while others had not, and at the end of our visit one of our group who had toured previously commented that Marta's commentary and expertise was far superior to what he had experienced on his prior visit. This tour is top-notch, and shouldn't be missed if you need a bespoke experience and/or truly care about the facts and information surrounding the destinations.
Marta was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Made this excursion a great experience. The pyramids are a must see.
We had a great experience overall with Roberto. He was patient with our 6-person family (all adults) who had various questions and interests. However, if you’re looking for an in-depth historical tour, you also need to visit the Museum of Anthropology. We were out for the entire day which was great and worth the cost, especially considering you get to visit 3 sites.
Thank you so much for visiting and for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed the experience. We designed this tour to offer a dynamic and engaging introduction, but we fully understand that history enthusiasts often want to delve much deeper. For your next visit, we'd like to remind you that we offer 100% personalized private tours, where we can design a tailor-made itinerary and explore local history as much as you'd like. We look forward to welcoming you back!
Great tour of Teotihuacan and Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe including delicious lunch. Our tour guide Veronica was fantastic. She spent the entire time providing us a history of the sites, details of cultural significance, tips for viewing, and lots of help with a 102-year old family member.
We greatly enjoyed having George as our guide, tons of knowledge and he was fun to talk to. The driver was great though I can’t recall his name! Loved seeing the pyramids which I’d wanted to see for so long! I gave it 5 starts to give George snd the driver the credit they deserved! However the food at lunch wasn’t great, and the staff at lunch wasn’t that friendly, Also didn’t care for the obsedian “tour” where there was pressure to buy something. Would have been better to have better lunch options but it’s also not an area with a lot of options!
We had a very full and information packed day with Roberto and Antonio. They led us through a thorough visit to Teotihuacan, the temples of the Sun and Moon, a visit to an obsidian workshop and the Guadalupe shrine.
Our tour guide, Marta, was amazing for the whole day as was our driver. It was such a treat to have such a knowledgeable guide and a driver who got us very safely from our Airbnb to each place we stopped. They picked us up right on time and provided so much information that my brain was FULL! The restaurant where we had lunch was very good and relaxing. I would absolutely use Mexico Tour Freelance again when I travel to CDMX.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed such a special day and that the service met all your expectations. Comments like yours motivate us to continue offering high-quality experiences. It will be a pleasure to welcome you back on your next visit to Mexico City. We look forward to another wonderful experience with you!
This was an excellent tour from start to finish. Having a knowledgeable guide made a big difference, bringing the fascinating history of Teotihuacan to life and adding great context to such an incredible site. The additional stops at Tlatelolco and the Basilica of Guadalupe were also very worthwhile and added a lot to the overall experience. The lunch location was a great choice, with beautiful views of Teotihuacan. Transportation was in a proper van, which made the day much more comfortable. Everything was well organized, and I highly recommend this tour.
