Step into the “City of the Gods” on a private day trip from Mexico City. With your certified, bilingual guide, begin at the Temple of the Feathered Serpent—famed for its sculpted 3D façades and the tunnel where archaeologists uncovered lavish offerings and over 200 burials with jaguars, shells, and obsidian. Walk the Avenue of the Dead to the 65-meter Pyramid of the Sun, where excavations revealed ritual deposits linked to rain and cosmic power. Continue to the Pyramid of the Moon—now open for a climb to its first platform (site rules apply)—built in seven superimposed layers like a “Russian doll,” each sealed with ceremonial offerings and associated with a major fertility deity. Conclude at a traditional obsidian workshop to learn ancient techniques, see how pulque is extracted, and enjoy a tasting of pulque, tequila, and mezcal (18+). Private round-trip A/C transport includes onboard drinks (bottled water, beer, soft drinks) for a comfortable, unrushed experience.

Hector was a wonderful host at Teotihuacan. He was punctual and very knowledgeable. We experienced some issues with traffic due to a protest and Hector kept my family comfortable. I was truly impressed with how professional he was in less than ideal circumstances. It’s hard to judge how someone will manage a situation when everything doesn’t go perfectly, but we were very impressed. Highly recommend.
Hector is a very professional guide and a great storyteller

I made a reservation for the same day, which was already difficult for a lot of travel companies. Hector was very flexible and we adjusted the timing to fit our plans. We had a great time at pyramids, a really interesting lecture on Mexican history and culture and he also helped us arrange a very interesting local restaurant which is topically available only by reservation in advance. By the way, the photos he made was also very professional even though it was taken on iPhone. Thank you! Great experience!
Excellent tour!

Thanks to our guide Héctor, we were able to learn about the history of Mexico from its origins. It’s amazing how knowledgeable he is and how well he shares that information with us. He also showed us places and shared facts that other guides usually don’t. One thing I really appreciated was that he gave us enough time to rest, take in the archaeological site, and snap some photos. His van was also very clean, and he drove attentively. I highly recommend this tour.
Great tour and tour guide!

We had the pleasure of touring the pyramids of Teotihuacán just outside of Mexico City with Hector as our guide, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly informative, bringing the rich history of the ancient ruins to life in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. Hector was very accommodating, took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly, and made sure we truly understood the significance of what we were seeing. His pride in his Mexican heritage was clear and added so much depth to the tour. He is also very fluent in English, which made communication seamless. By the end of the tour, Hector made us feel like family. We highly recommend Hector to anyone visiting Teotihuacán!

Teotihuacan was unbelievable and we learned so much from Hector. Hector is a fantastic guide and driver! He arrived promptly at our Airbnb and he explained what we would see on this tour. Hector can speak English very well and of course can speak Spanish. He has a great sense of humor and we had a great time talking and laughing on our drive to Teotihuacan. Hector guided us and brought up interesting facts as we walked to the pyramids. He made sure we were safe as we climbed one of the pyramids. He made sure to answer any of our questions. The views were amazing at every stop as Hector explained what we were seeing. Hector recommended we walk to another pyramid on the main walkway or the Avenue of the Dead as he went back to drive his vehicle closer to where the tour would end. This allowed us to explore on our own as we walked to pyramid. He then joined us and we continued with this personalized tour. We highly recommend this tour and Hector made this tour fantastic. We were ready for lunch and an ice cold beverage. Hector drove us to one of his favorite restaurants nearby and we had a very tasty lunch. Make sure to take a hat and sunscreen. Hector did have water bottles that was much appreciated.
