Had an amazing tour with Patto and Jesus! Patto knew so much history and provided the information in a fun and engaging way. The tour was a good amount of time. We even had the opportunity to climb one of the pyramids. I also enjoyed the stop at a local shop where the shop owner taught us about the agave plant and the various stones found in Teotihuacán. I did experience a bit of altitude sickness but Patto was great about checking in on me and making sure I was feeling ok. Highly recommend this tour and Patto!

Guide and driver fun and informative. Karen grew up in the area so we got a bit more insight. In general everything was fun and picturesque. Especially loved the surprise stop at the obsidian workshop with amazing agave talk and drinks. Would highly recommend. I heard the other local tours from headout were are also well worth it.

Punctual pickup, brilliant interaction by Guide Patricia, adequate time at the visit site. Restaurant chosen for lunch was good. The visit to the cave was interesting. Even the break at the shop was brief and informative and not too commercial.

Went with my partner and honestly, we didn’t expect to learn SO much! The guide (can’t remember her name, sorry!) was hilarious and full of stories. The group was pretty small, maybe 8 people? Which made it feel more chill. Didn’t get bored even once—which, for a 6hr tour, is saying something. Weather was a bit hot but they had water for us. Btw, the mezcal tasting at the end? 10/10. If you’re into history but also just wanna have a good time, this is it.

I dragged my teens here and even they had fun. That’s a MIRACLE. Karen was our guide—she’s like a walking encyclopedia but not boring at all. Loved the local stories and the market stop. Was worried it’d be too touristy but it felt pretty authentic. Didn’t have to wait in any lines (score!).
