“I enjoyed the two days trip, the two guides Taxco - Ada and Cholula / Puebla - Aja were very knowledgeable. I leaned some Mexican history from both of them. Just traffics from Mexico City to Cholula and back to city were crazy I think we were in the car for 3.5 hours each trip! Thank you!”

See Teotihuacan, Guadalupe, Cuernavaca, and Taxco on a two-day Mexico City tour with transport, admissions, and bilingual guides.

“Pyramids: the pryamids was by far the best experience. Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate on Mexican history. We learned a great deal. Mexitours, who organized everything, was professional and responsive to our needs. We purchased the plan that included lunch which we felt was a good idea. Taxco and Cuernavaca: our tour guide was exceptional, especially as he transitioned from Spanish to English. He was full of enthusiasm and a great story teller. We enjoyed seeing parts of Mexico that we would not see on our own and the churches and points of interest were very informative and beautiful. However, the one thing that we found off…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 18 reviews · 2 days · from $599

Climb Mexico’s highest peak on a two-day guided trek from Mexico City, with glacier sunrise views, mountain hut lodging, gear, and transport included.

“This trip was amazing, great experience and one I will never forget. I had Alan as my guide and ended up being the only person on the trip, he was super supportive, had great English and explained every part of the trek to me. He made me very comfortable, at ease and safe. We had a great time and he went at my pace, making me enjoy the whole thing. This hike is hard, it took us 9 hours which is quick but it can take larger groups up to 15 hours and that is constantly hiking on very hard terrain. I would say you need to have a good…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 10 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $94

See Teotihuacan, Guadalupe, Xochimilco, Coyoacan, and University City on a value-packed two-day Mexico City tour.

“We booked an English tour which is why, another English-speaking family and we were loaded on to a bus full of native Spanish speakers. The Day 1 guide's English was so fractured that 25% the time we spent trying to figure out what she was saying and the other 75% we had to listen to the Spanish commentary. I have some Spanish and it was very obvious that the English version was barebones. Obviously, I do not expect high flown English, but I think a fluent English-speaking guide is essential on a tour advertised as English. It is unfair to lump 2 English speaking families on to a bus load…”
