If you want to get everything possible out of a trip to Teotihuacan then you will want to book this tour with Alan! The sites are of course the best part but the next best part was the passion and knowledge Alan shared with the group along the way. Keeping us moving but leaving no stone unturned I feel like if we didn't have Alan the trip would not have been as great. "Mexico is not a shot of tequila and good tacos, it's a land of knowledge and rich culture" as he put it. If you want to get the most out of this city and these sites go with this tour!

The early tour is a great experience. The bus ride is smooth and they make a stop so that you may use the restroom and grab a snack or coffee. There are no crowds whatsoever when you arrive, which makes for some excellent photos. Lots of time spent at the pyramids, including climbing them, which was amazing. Lunch is not included but is at a spot that we really enjoyed. We felt that we had ample time and were not rushed, but still made it back to CDMX by 3 pm.

We visited the Pyramids on Friday July 18, 2025. The bus ride was excellent, the tour guides were both awesome. One of our best tours ever. The lunch stop with Mezcal & Tequila tasting and education, along with the Obsidian demonstration was so much fun. We had a great time. Thanks for making it such a wonderful all around experience.
