“Jio our kind guide made a very good job explaning efficiently what we saw and thus made the excursion even better, I recommend it to every traveler passing by Mexico City”
Fly at sunrise over Teotihuacan, toast with the crew, enjoy a Mexican breakfast, and choose optional time on the pyramids, all from Mexico City.
“Hot air-ballooning over these pyramids at sunrise is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The hot air balloons don't have doors, so there is some climbing and jumping into the basket involved. It would have also been nice if there were 2 fewer people in each basket, since it felt like we were packed in like sardines in a can. The loss of one star is for the quality of the breakfast buffet, and the long wait once we arrived at the location until we actually got sorted into groups and went off to get on the balloons. The transportation to and from CDMX was timely and comfortable, but some improvements to the…”
Private early Teotihuacan tour from Mexico City with English guide, hotel pickup, admission included, and pulque, tequila, mezcal tasting.
“Noah was friendly and knowledgable. We learned a lot from him and really enjoyed the tour. The only feedback we had was that Noah unilaterally decided to visit the mescal wasting first which was different from the itinerary took about 45 minutes and made us arrive later at the archeological site. whereas if we had been asked we would have preferred to go straight to the archeological site first to avoid crowds and hotter weather, and do the mescal tasting second.”
Guided half-day Teotihuacan with early or afternoon access, Sun and Moon Pyramids, Quetzalpapalotl Palace, plus an obsidian workshop and tequila tasting.
“Very nice trip, no unnecessary activities to kill time, tour guide did a great job entertaining the group”
Mexico City’s Historic Center Food Tour is a 5-hour small-group walk with tastings at San Juan Market and Centro Historico.
“Angel was very knowledgeable and gave insights to all the food and stories of the buildings. He gave stories of the city as well friendly stories of the stops. I would definitely take another tour with Angel!”
A guided Teotihuacán day trip from Mexico City with included entry, mezcal tastings, and a structured Pyramid route, plus a few tradeoffs.
“Do yourself a favor and book a tour with no tourist traps. I found this tour to be extremely disorganized and poorly timed. The entire first hour was spent in a tourist trap (a literal fenced in box completely outside the pyramids) where they tried to sell us stones and alcohol. Conversely, when we got to the pyramid of the moon, we were only allowed 15 min at the top. We also skipped an entire pyramid and multiple important sites. When I asked why, the guide stated we didn’t have time and that it was too far to walk. Then we proceeded to spend an hour and a half at…”

A 3-hour Centro Histórico walk with a local guide, from the Metropolitan Cathedral and Aztec ruins to a stained-glass store and sweet bread.
“Learning the history of Mexico was what I liked most. I would like to spend less time in the Catholic Church museum and be able to explore one of the art museums. Also, allow some time to purchase small gifts from the street vendors.”

Los Cabos city tour plus fast-boat ride to the Arch, artisan stops, and an authentic lunch with tequila tasting for $119.
“George was our tour guide. He was informative and fun! During our boat ride to see the arches we ran across some whales and were able to get up close pictures. The rest of the tour was fun and the lunch and shops we stopped at were amazing especially the tequila tasting spot! Even though the tour was 6 hours, the time seemed to fly by! The bus picks you up early so be ready! Overall, a very fun experience.”
