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.

Patricia (PAto) was the most amazing guide. Tons of information. I really enjoyed listening to her and getting knowledge in the history of the area. I also liked that it was a small group. Only 3 of us. Jesus was a great driver as well
