Teotihuacan Early Access Guided Tour with optional Lunch

1.Teotihuacan Early Access Guided Tour with optional Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6,138 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $39Our pick

Leave central Mexico City early for Teotihuacan, where a bilingual guide leads you among the Avenue of the Dead, monumental pyramids, plazas, and murals. The roughly eight-hour outing includes round-trip transport and a stop at an obsidian workshop for a tequila tasting. Lunch costs extra unless you select the box-lunch option. Private tours include hotel pickup.

“The tour is ok but I didn’t like that it tells me the meeting time is 6:20 when other people booked at different places had a meeting time of 6:50. In the end we didn’t leave until 7:15. I woke up super early for nothing and I find that unfair.”

“The museum was great however we kept getting asked to move to the back of the line even though the ticket stated to get there 15 minutes before. Our booking was at 12:30, so we got to the front of the queue at 12:26 the second time round. The lady with glasses (sadly forgot to take her name) said ‘you’re 4 minutes early, go to the back of the line’. Everyone else got to go through apart from my family (a group of visible Muslims) and a Black family. The 12:45 people got to be ahead of us also and we were booked for 12:30. We felt a sense of…”
