Traveler reviews
An Unforgettable Experience at Teotihuacán!
It was such an incredible experience learning about the history of the pyramids of Teotihuacán with our tour guide, Laura! The experience exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We had the opportunity to walk around, explore, and climb some of the pyramids while learning so much about their history and significance. Laura was wonderful at explaining everything and making the experience both informative and enjoyable. We truly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Teotihuacán!
Great tour guide
Laura did a wonderful job explaining the history of the pyramids and was a wonderful host. She made the experience 10/10.
Private tour not worth the money
We booked a prívate tour, expecting an amazing experience. The driver could not speak English and the conditions of the car were really bad, he was also on the phone while driving. No guide with driver and were told we would find you one once at the pyramid - tour guide seemed nervous and in experience, didn’t even give his name when introduced himself. The tour states 2 hours at pyramids, but we were rushed round in an half and hour. Then the driver took us to the wrong restaurant, as he didn’t know where we had a reservation, which is meant to be part of the organized tour. Once we got to the right restaurant the hostess told us there was no reservation for us. For paying to have a private service it was a complete let down. We booked months in advance, but on the day it was completely unorganized. Reported to Viatour but they say it’s the tour providers problem, so they wash their hands of having any responsibility. We saw group tours with much better guides and much more information. Do not pay extra for a private tour go with a cheaper group tour.
Just go on your own
The guides were nice but the tour is very long with lots of filler. You don’t leave for another hour plus at the meeting point so it’s a lot of time waiting. The first stop is to a souvenir shop which is not listed on the itinerary. They give you shots of liquor which would have been better later in the day instead of early morning. But it’s just to get you to buy overpriced souvenirs. When you get to the pyramids, the guide talks away from the pyramids and engages with more vendors instead of allowing you to see what you actually went on the tour for. La Gruta is really cool but the food is very overpriced and service is slow. But by this point you are so starving you’d pay anything for food. Just not a good flow and a lot of wasted time.
I loved the tour
100% recommended, Mr. Jesús (driving engineer) and Mr. Raúl Optimus Prime, are the kindest, funniest people, the company is Olmedo... you are going to laugh, enjoy, get to know and learn with them, on my next visit I will not hesitate to return with them
