Teotihuacan, Guadalupe Shrine & Tlatelolco Day Tour with Lunch

1.Teotihuacan, Guadalupe Shrine & Tlatelolco Day Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11,603 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $39Our pick

Join a central Mexico City pickup for a nine-hour guided trip to Tlatelolco, the Basilica of Guadalupe and Teotihuacan. Expect Aztec history, a craft workshop, tequila tasting and an optional buffet lunch. Guides such as Gio, Alicia and Leonardo have earned praise for clear, lively explanations. Private tours include hotel pickup.

“This is an amazing trip. Although I wish the tour was a smaller scale (we had about 24 people on it), I prefer tours in a minibus. But our tour guide Leonardo was full of knowledge and he was a very good english speaker. The pyramids were amazing, hard to believe they were built by hand in 100 AD, no bulldozers, no heavy machinery, no CAD drawings.”

“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.”

I learned so much about Mexico city and pre and post Spanish invasion and even more about Teotihuancán. If I was to take this tour again I would want Alan to be my guide. I also have to give Emerson, our driver, his credit. he was very patient and helpful getting us around the city ad to the historical site. I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody visiting Mexico city and I may take the tour aga in the future. thank…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,262 reviews · 3 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $155

Rise before dawn for a shared hot-air balloon flight over Teotihuacan Valley, with sunrise views of the pyramids when wind and visibility allow. Volare provides coffee before takeoff, a landing toast, a flight certificate and a Mexican buffet breakfast with mariachi music. Add hotel transport from selected Mexico City areas or three hours to explore the archaeological site.

“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…”

“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.”

12.Balloon flight with breakfast in Cave and Pyramids tour from CDMX

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,504 reviews · 3 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $148

Leave Mexico City before dawn for an estimated 45-minute balloon flight near Teotihuacan, followed by an optional cave breakfast, a local liqueur stop, and time at the archaeological site. Pickup, breakfast, admission, and a certified guide depend on the option you book. Wind may carry your balloon away from the pyramids, so an overhead view is not guaranteed.

“Balloon was great but we didn’t land near the pyramids. Also booking the breakfast and the transportation is unnecessary given that it’s not that expensive to Uber to and from the location. There’s a lot of transit between the office the airfield the landing area back to the airfield and then back to the office before ever getting to the pyramids. The ride itself was awesome.”

13.Balloon Flight with Breakfast in Cave and Pyramids of Teotihuacan

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,498 reviews · 2 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $160

Take a shared hot-air-balloon flight over the Teotihuacan Valley, with a coffee break, landing toast and certificate. Choose flight-only or add Mexico City pickup, breakfast at a restaurant set beneath a natural cave, a local craft and liquor stop, and time at the pyramids. The flight lasts about 30 to 50 minutes, and the wind decides how close you get to the ruins.

“Very well managed logistically. Everything was on time from the pickup to the lunch and various stops between destinations and back. Guides were all very friendly and informative. Balloon ride was great - unfortunately due to wind conditions we did not get to fly directly over the ruins, however the flight was very nice and felt super safe with our pilot. The tour of Teotihuacán was amazing - we were some of the first visitors to be able to climb the steps of the Temple of the Moon! Highly recommend this tour - everything was taken care of from start to finish.”

Start before dawn for a 40-to-60-minute balloon flight over the Teotihuacán area, weather and wind permitting. Depending on your package, add hotel pickup, breakfast in a cave or at a buffet restaurant, a tasting of pulque and local spirits, and about an hour at the archaeological site. The flight is the main event; ground activities and timing can vary.

“It was great, but ditch the drones! Last thing I wanted was a drone in my face! That said.... It was beautiful once we got away from them. Mine was rescheduled due to wind, which was fine. The reschedule was a bit disorganised, but i'm guessing they had a lot of them to fit in. Logístics were amazing to actually get the balloons up, then get It all gathered Up and transported back to starting point once you came down. Driver Who picked me Up/dropped me off José was wonderful, puntual to the second & very kind.”
