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.”

9.Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Flight from Mexico City / Volare

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

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.”
