The guide (Manuel) was always very attentive, he always made an effort to explain in English and Spanish, and they always kept in contact with us prior to our pickup at the meeting point. The food was very delicious. Everything 👍🏼
Tour was good. Nothing special. It's about 5 hours. Lunch was really good. Our guid Teresa was very friendly and knowledgeable and friendly. Overall, I'd recommend it but you won't miss much if you skip it either.
Julio our guide was friendly and knowledgable explained everything. He did not rush us and we had plenty of time to do our own things . We had a great time
All in all a good but not great tour. The price is fair. The length of the tour was good except that in Teotihuacan an extra hour should is a must, as the site is too big to get to know in only 2 hours. The tour guide was friendly enough and knowledgeable when asked, but the communication skills and the frequency of the commentary were lacking. Especially in Teotihuacan, where only one hour was spent with the guide. We were a small group and everyone was friendly. Transport was comfortable. Staff were accommodating. Pros: Content of the tour (Teotihuacan, Basilica, Obsidian workshop etc.) Organization Lunch Price Cons: Communication skills of our guide Short stay at Teotihuacan
Great day with the guide and the group. Everything went very well It was very interesting to find out the story
Even though we started an hour and a half later and then had to wait for some lost companions, the experience was very nice and did not feel at all rushed. Excellent explanations and really that the experience was very nice.
Rosa was an amazing tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about Teotihuacan and the Basilica Guadalupe. She also brought humor.
This was perfect. Christopher was an incredible tour guide. The included lunch was unbelievable. This is by far the best tour to the pyramids. I researched them all this us for what they provide the best one.
Julio was amazing. The tour was great, food was also very good. I will recommend add lunch to your tour
The tour was average. The sites were wonderful, but our guide, Manuel, was not very interesting. Seemed like he had memorized the history and was just rattling it off. His English was a little hard to understand, and the Spanish language explanations were much longer than the English ones. He also did not take us to the pyramid of the serpents at Teotihuacan. At the Basilica, we had to ask for some free time to visit the old chapel as he was leaving without taking us there. That should definitely be included in the tour. The time spent at the shops was excessive, it would have been better to spend that time at the Basilica. Also, it would have been better to go to Teotihuacan first to avoid the afternoon sun/heat, and do the Plaza of Three Cultures later.
