2.Xochimilco, Coyoacan and Frida Kahlo with Optional Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7,320 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $34

Spend about nine hours touring southern Mexico City with an English or Spanish guide. Walk colonial Coyoacán, choose one Frida Kahlo museum, cruise Xochimilco’s canals by colorful trajinera, and see UNAM murals. Central meeting points are used, while private tours include hotel pickup.

“We did the Xochimilco, Coyoacan and Frida Kahlo tour and had a great experience overall. Our guides, Alex Moreno and Lilly, were energetic and really knowledgeable, and Cesar (our driver) kept everything running smoothly. The day felt organized without being rushed, and the explanations throughout were genuinely interesting. I learned a lot. We didn’t opt in for the lunch or the Frida Kahlo Museum, and that worked out perfectly for us. During the museum time, we explored the Coyoacán area, did some shopping in the mercado, and still met back up with the group easily. We also ate at the same restaurant as everyone else, and I’m pretty sure we…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,186 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $64

Travel from Mexico City to Teotihuacan in an air-conditioned shuttle, then spend about three hours walking the Avenue of the Dead and the site’s three major pyramids. English-speaking guides such as Emanuel, Yair, Laura, and Rudolfo focus on architecture, history, and good photographs, with no souvenir or shopping stops.

“It was an amazing time visiting the pyramids. The bus there was new, clean and well maintained. Our guide Diana was upbeat, very knowledgeable and lovely. She walked us through the entire site explaining to us all the history as we walked. You do need to be able to keep up physically and do a lot of steps. It was a very memorable day.”

Leave Mexico City before dawn for a 30 to 50 minute hot-air-balloon flight near Teotihuacan. After a pilot toast and flight certificate, eat breakfast inside La Cueva, sample agave spirits, and get 1.5 hours at the pyramids. Pickup covers key CDMX districts, with some extra fees.

“What an incredible experience. I don’t even know where to start. Everything was so seamless, between pick up to our activities and itinerary, there was always a tour guide with us and telling us what’s next. They have professional photographers who can take pictures of you before and after the ride by the balloon… they ALSO SEND A DRONE up when your balloon takes off to film you and your party (it’s so cool). The basket fits like 16 people and it’s comfortable and stable going up and down. I didn’t even feel it when we were rising. The sunrise, just incredible. Note that you have to plan for a…”

Rise before dawn for a shared 30 to 60 minute balloon flight over the Teotihuacan Valley with We Fly, then continue to La Cueva for breakfast, artisan tastings, and the pyramids. Pickup from central Mexico City is available, but the flight path depends on wind and may not pass directly over the ruins.

“The tour was amazing and the staff was amazing. We had a unique situation where we had to leave earlier than anticipated, and the staff was solution-driven and very accommodating. They helped me have the experience I wanted for my birthday, another company would have simply stated that they can't make adjustments and I would have lost my money. Thank you all for your help and attention and for making my day special.”

The tour took us to a pre-hispanic archeological village and site called Teotihuacan, we did some mezcal tasting and had lunch. Our tour guides Alex and David, were extremely informative and never missed a beat in answering our questions.”

9.Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Flight from Mexico City / Volare

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,262 reviews · 3 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $155

Rise before dawn for a 30 to 50 minute Volare balloon flight over the Teotihuacan Valley. Watch the balloons inflate, toast your landing, collect a flight diploma, and enjoy a Mexican buffet with mariachi. Hotel pickup and three hours at the pyramids are optional.

“Hot air-ballooning over these pyramids at sunrise is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The hot air balloons don't have doors, so there is some climbing and jumping into the basket involved. It would have also been nice if there were 2 fewer people in each basket, since it felt like we were packed in like sardines in a can. The loss of one star is for the quality of the breakfast buffet, and the long wait once we arrived at the location until we actually got sorted into groups and went off to get on the balloons. The transportation to and from CDMX was timely and comfortable, but some improvements to the…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,025 reviews · from $89

Join a bilingual guide such as Alex, Rodrigo, or Barbara for a 10-hour trip through Coyoacan, Casa Azul, UNAM, and Xochimilco. Choose the Frida Kahlo museum and lunch options carefully, since the lowest fare includes neither. The trajinera ride is festive but brief.

“It was a really good tour, Gio and Rubén had a lot of knowledge of the sites we visited and were able to answer all our questions! Is a shame they were not able to guide us inside the Frida Kahlo museum!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,702 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $49

Spend about 11 hours exploring Cholula’s great pyramid base, Santa María Tonantzintla’s indigenous Baroque church, and Puebla’s old center. Guides such as Álvaro, Omar, Arantxa, and Rodrigo are praised for lively history talks. Choose optional lunch, but eating independently in Puebla may offer better value.

“We had a nice day overall. The tour guide worked really hard to explain everything and was open and welcoming but i still wouldnt reccomend this trip to others. The churches and the temples were nice to see and interesting to learn about, however this was in no way balanced with the amount of time spent in the van getting from place to place which was the vast majority of the day. We were also told lunch was included and paid for lunch to be included. The lunch they served was the worst meal i have had over my entire trip in mexico. If you take this trip opt out…”
