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.”

“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…”

Carlos, Ramon, Veronica, and other guides have led past departures. Pickup covers major central Mexico City districts, with optional lunch near the pyramids.

“Fabulous tour!! Definitely do the pyramids first as they close the area down earlier than the Shrine. We didn't have quite as much time at the pyramids because we requested doing the opposite order. Also, be sure to include the lunch! One of the best meals we had while in Mexico City. We sat outdoors with a view of the pyramids!! Food was authentic and service was excellent. Also enjoyed the shopping afterwards and story from guest host, Gabriel, regarding the ancient art of utilizing the rock Obsidian to make things. The pyramids were awe inspiring and so was the Guadalupe Shrine. The best thing about the whole tour was…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 839 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $40

Spend a full day with an English-speaking guide visiting Tlatelolco, Teotihuacan’s Sun and Moon pyramids, a craft workshop, and the Basilica of Guadalupe. Pickup is available from four central hotels. Guides such as Marco, Edgar, and Gabe add plenty of historical detail, but the lunch and shopping stops may not suit everyone.

“Tourist trap! Instead of going to gate #1 at the pyramids we were taken to a gift shop for a “ demonstration” of uses of cactus then given shopping time. Then a rushed walk to only 2 of 3 pyramids. Did not go to Serpent pyramid. The guide gave incorrect information about the history of the pyramids. We were given more free time at the tourist trap gift shop than at the pyramids. This tour is mostly about busing people to the gift shop.”
