1.Teotihuacan Private Tour from Mexico City

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,890 reviews · 1 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $140Our pick

Leave Mexico City at 8:00 am in a private, air-conditioned vehicle and explore Teotihuacán with a certified English-speaking guide. Expect the Pyramid of the Moon, Pyramid of the Sun, the Feathered Serpent Temple and ancient murals, plus a tasting of pulque, tequila and mezcal. Guides such as Aldo, Ivan and Fermin have earned particular praise.

“We enjoyed our day traveling to the Pyramids. The ride was comfortable and thankfully not too long (we had heard it could take a long time to get out of the city with traffic). Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We ranged in age from 85 to 23 so the guide was patient to accommodate some of the slower walkers in the group. The tour length was just perfect and were able to see all of the grounds. We also stopped for a quick snack on the way back at a wonderful restaurant nearby.”
