Private Tour: Tula and Tepotzotlan Day Trip from Mexico City

Your tour begins with hotel pickup in Mexico City in the morning. Board your private vehicle and head to the archaeological site of Tula with your personal driver and guide, who highlights the features of the Mesoamerican ruins. At this Toltec ceremonial center, learn about architectural innovations, including 16-foot-tall (5-meter) warrior statues, temple pyramids, and ball courts. Admire the use of sidewalks and stucco decor as you explore the site.

After a personalized look, continue to the Jesuit convent of Tepotzotlán. See the impressive chapel of San Francisco Javier, an example of Mexican baroque style. Marvel at the church entirely covered in gold leaf, see the nuns' quarters that feature samples of authentic clothing, and learn about the Jesuits' role during the Spanish conquest.  

Following this brush-up with Mexico's past, you'll be dropped off at your hotel.

See two parts of the history of Mexico on this private day trip from Mexico City. First, you'll visit Tula and learn all about the culture, which is considered the best in architecture. Learn about their innovations in architecture, cloves and the use of stucco and admire the site. Then, visit the Convent of Tepotzotlan, from the Jesuits Order. They tried to evangelize the indigenous population from the area during the Spanish conquest, so you'll see impressive decoration with Gold Leaves in the church and learn about Mexican Baroque Style. Your tour includes a private guide and transport.
