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!).

Solo traveler here! I felt suuuper welcome from the start. Memo picked us up right on time (rare!) and we zipped past all the traffic. Learned a bunch about the pyramids—never knew about the bats in the cave? Wild stuff. Oh, and they gave us tips on where to get the best churros after.

Friendly staff, super smooth pick up. The pyramids were impressive, obviously, but I gotta say the lunch in the cave was my favorite part. Food’s a bit spicy so heads up. Maybe bring sunscreen—they warned us but I still got a lil burnt. Felt a tad rushed at the Sun Pyramid, though.
