2.Teotihuacan Early Morning Tour: Avoid Crowds, & Expert Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 568 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $80

Beat the heat and crowds at Teotihuacan with an expert-led day trip from Mexico City, including transport, entry, agave tasting, and lunch time.

“The pick up was sharp on time. It's just like a transportation. The tour guide did not explain much about the history and the pyramids. When I was there, I heard other tour guides explain very well, and use books to demonstrate what the color was like before, what the sculptures were about. Nothing from our guide unless you ask for particular questions. I'd rather spend more time in the Teotihuacan site than going to some very expensive souvenir store. The restaurant we were brought for lunch to was expensive and charged taxes in addition to the price listed, which was not the practice everywhere else. I don't think that's…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 400 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $178

“Pros: Our driver was so nice and informative. The balloon ride was unforgettable, what an incredible experience!! The ride is so smooth, the staff are professional and experienced. Breakfast was great! We met wonderful people. The tour guide at the ruins, Jesus, was very sweet, knowledgeable, and well-meaning. Cons: We were extremely rushed at the ruins. It appeared to be because the company was incredibly disorganized. This was not the fault of the guide however we missed so much at the ruins and feel it could have been a much better experience. It was a major disappointment.”

She also brings a book with her to share more photos and facts, and has all the answers to anything you could want to know. She has a great attitude, is patient, kind and has a great sense of humor.

Right away, he was friendly, welcoming, and full of interesting facts about the city’s landmarks and history.
