Teotihuacan Early Access Guided Tour with optional Lunch

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Teotihuacan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Commonly referred to as the City of the Gods, this pre-Columbian Mesoamerican city is known for its well-preserved murals, vast Avenue of the Dead and the impressive pyramids that mark its landscape. Arrive at the archeological park before the crowds in the early morning just as it begins to open its gates. Take in the serene and mystical atmosphere as your group meanders through large empty plazas in the absence of the crowds and explore the pyramids. View the murals, architectural as your guide explains their archeological significance, and tells stories about the culture that inhabited this ancient city.

   3 hAdmission included

2. Once you’ve marveled at the pyramids of Teotihuacan, continue your journey with a stop at an authentic obsidian workshop. Learn how this volcanic stone has been worked for centuries, enjoy a tequila tasting, and perhaps take home a handcrafted memento.

   45 minAdmission included

3. Right there, you will take the lunch (not included in the price), which, by the variety of dishes and its Mexican traditional flavor, is in itself another great experience before your guide delivers you back to the central meeting points.

• 5Party Size at Tenochtitlán

  Our guide, Giovanna and driver, Alvin, were top notch. Gio gave the best insights on the history of the site and Alvin was great at keeping us safe on the road. Would definitely recommend this tour.

• 5Great Tour

  We had a great time on this tour, even though my five-year-old was worn out about midway through. The guide was informed and knowledgeable. The tour itself was better than the souvenir market we stopped at afterwards, but we had opted for lunch for the kids just in case. This is a long day with an early start, but it was nice to get out before the crowds in the cool morning. It was great meeting guests from other countries.

• 5A Look and Taste of Teotihuacan

  It was incredible to see the pyramids of Teotihuacan! Our tour guide, Salvador, was exceptional at explaining the history and significance of the pyramids and surrounding civilization (in English). He was kind enough to answer many of the additional questions I had throughout the tour. We were able to climb the pyramids which permitted it, but one of them (Sun) was closed off to the public. The actual tour itself was great - no issues. Driver and tour guides were very accommodating and ensured everyone had food and water before and during the tour. We unfortunately were not able to participate in the lunch and tequila tasting, due to a conflicting event. What we wished we had done different was to Uber to the meeting location (a hostel). We paid extra for a pick up service since it was early morning, but it was not a great experience for us since we were not aware that this service picked up other people as well. It took awhile, the driver was not that helpful in telling us where we were going, and we would have rather traveled separately. Lastly: if you appreciate a more in depth, private experience of the history, and if’s within budget, I would suggest doing a private tour. That’s what I should have done, looking back. There is so much history, and traveling with a larger group of people can make it difficult to make time for explaining the significance of the many of the fascinating structures and sculptures.

• 33 out of five

  We went on the sunrise tour. There were about 12 in our group. Tour guide was informative and nice, but he talked constantly. And I mean constantly. It was like listening to the radio. I think pauses are a great way to give people space and time to digest and to interact and meet one another. The last part (at least 1.5 hours) of the tour was basically an advertisement to sell restaurant food and souvenirs to squeeze money out of you. We spent a lot of time at several different tourist traps. We felt like captive prisoners pressured and guilted with no escape. At the mescal/tequila stop there were lots of off-color raunchy jokes by our “speaker”, with even with lively obsidian dildos (not kidding) for sale. The tour ended on this heavy-handed distasteful experience. We were also told not to leave a review unless it was 5 stars. So based on our experience I can’t recommend Amigo Tours. Maybe all the tours do this. I don’t know. If that’s the case take public transit or Uber and enjoy the day on your own terms, and avoid the tourist traps!!

About Mexico City

Mexico City is a vast, high-altitude capital built over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, rich in museums, murals, markets and outstanding food.

The Zócalo, one of the largest squares in the world, is framed by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, where Diego Rivera's murals tell the story of Mexico. Beside them, the excavated Templo Mayor reveals the heart of the Aztec capital, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, with its marble exterior and Art Deco interior, stands a short walk west.

Top-ranked sights in Mexico City: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
