Oct 20254/5Went with my cousin and we had a BLAST. The drizzle made it kinda magical tbh, tho my shoes got all muddy. Our guide (I think her name was Sofia?) was SO passionate abt the history, made it come alive. Only downside: the souvenir shop was a bit meh and felt like a tourist trap. But pyramids = EPIC. Bring snacks, I got hungry halfway!Oct 20255/5Super cool tour! Got up early with my girlfriend to beat the crowds, totally worth it. Our driver Antonio was chill, played good music on the ride. Lily the guide answered like every weird question I had re: the ruins. Pro tip—there’s almost NO SHADE, so hat + sunscreen = lifesaver. Would do again!Oct 20255/5Went solo, made friends on the bus. Dad Tonio (as everyone called him) is a walking encyclopedia! Really liked how he made jokes and kept us smiling even when the sun got HOT. Just bring a hat and some pesos for the bathroom. Would go again for sure.Oct 20255/5First time in Mexico and this tour was a highlight! The guides were super friendly, answered all questions, and didn’t rush us at all. I loved the stories about the ancient people. If you get a chance, try the pulque at the stop—sooo weird but fun to taste.Oct 20253/5Interesting place but felt a bit rushed. Barely had time for photos at the second pyramid. Guide knew lots but talked a little too fast for me. Best part was the view from the top! Next time, I'd skip the shop part.
