We traveled as a family with our 10-year-old son. We traveled as a family with our 10-year-old son. They were punctual and very professional. I 100% recommend the experience of riding in a hot air balloon! Everyone was very friendly!
Very custom and friendly, small group size, in depth cultural and religious knowledge at both basilica and the temples. This is one of the few tour I find that goes to the highly unique and decorated Templo de Quetzalcóatl on top of the sun and moon one in Teotihuacan
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your comment! We're delighted to know you had a great experience with our company. Come back soon!
We had an amazing experience with Guillermo Franco back in November. It was my husband, 3 year old son, & I, we started off in Tlatelolco. He then took us to the Plateria Rafael where my son got a handmade souvenir and we saw an official replica of the heart of the ocean (it was a small metal plate about the size of a bottle cap with a hand carved eagle warrior). Franco then recommended us some tamales from a vendor across the store and they were the most amazing tamales I’ve ever had (and I grew up on them, sorry mom). We also bought candy and tequila from a family owned store also across from the plateria where they offered us free samples, including free candy for my son. After all that Franco took us to the pyramids. The entire drive he was super understanding and offered to stop if we needed for our son to have any bathroom breaks. The entire trip at the pyramids he was incredibly informative and gave us a lot of information. We then had a late lunch at Ciria and after got a tour of how pulque was originated and is made with samples. We ended the tour at the Basilica de Guadalupe where again Franco guided throughout the area and explained the meaning behind the clock tower, 3 churches, and hill top. Throughout the entire car ride throughout the city he explained all the statues and monuments. We are already planning to go back with our family and will be booking Franco for our next guided tour because of us friendly personality and informative tours.
Guide Miguel and driver were great Highly recommended if you want a small group tour of the pyramids without the big crowded buses
Thank you for your lovely visit ♥️
This tour was awesome. Felix was very helpful and easy to reach prior to my tour. As a solo female traveler I sometimes get nervous when going on tours, but I was paired with a female guide Eva whom was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I highly recommend!!
