Welcome to Mexico City & the Ancient City of Gods!
Hola! I´m Gio a local graduate intern of INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History) and certified licensed tour guide.
We´ll begin our experience by meeting at Parque Mexico located in the center of Condesa.
In Mexico we have a local saying: "full belly, happy heart". So before going out to explore Teotihuacan we´ll first stop at a local bakery (10 min drive) where you can get a nice morning coffee/pastry afterwards we'll head out to learn about the Sun pyramid, Moon pyramid and Quetzalcoatl Temple.
Join me and explore this fascinating city that holds many stories and mysteries. We'll explore the monuments, residential areas and fascinating mural paintings. Learn the process to how they were able to make the morter to glue the stones together. Discover the different colors that were used by the local people to decorate the city. Walk through some of the old paths the ancestors once stood on. Marvel at the magnificent size of one of the most important religious and influential centers in Mesoamerica. I'll share with you the latest theories and myths about this ancient place and answer your questions about Mexican history.

5.00Gio was a very knowledgable guide with great narrative skills - the visit to Teotihuacán was a very interesting and educative experience. Not only was his tour amazing but he also took the group's questions and answered them in detail, offered great context, and ensured that we left with lots of knowledge about the people that inhabited Teotihuacán and their culture. The logistics were executed perfectly, the pickup and drop-off punctual, the drive comfortable (with bottled water available in the vehicle). I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to visit this incredible place.
Best way to visit Teotihuacan

5.00Gio is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide with great English skills. The whole tour ran smoothly from start to end. The bakery stop was much appreciated since the tour starts early in the morning. We were driven between 3 different sections of the site, to avoid too much walking in the hot sun. You can currently climb up the Temple of Quetzalcoatl and part of the Temple of the moon, which was cool. One thing that differentiates this tour from many others is that you go straight to Teotihuacan without stopping at all those other lesser sites, letting you enjoy it before the crowds arrive!

5.00Gio went far beyond basic historical information. He explained the cultural and symbolic background of many details, helping us understand not just what happened, but why it happened and how it influenced society. It added a rich and thoughtful depth to the entire experience. It would be better if it’s little bit longer but anyway we had beautiful experience and very well informed!

5.00So happy to have an expert guide for the Artificial Mountians (Pyramids) at Teotihuacan. Gio provided anthropological context for the amazing sights we saw, making them more meaningful and memorable. It was very convenient to have transportation from our stay near Condesa. Great job Gio!
A great morning tour of Teotihuacan

5.00A really well run , intimate, informal and personal tour by Gio. It was great to get going early in the morning (plus a cappuccino and a pan dulce at Rosetta!) and be ahead of the crowds (look at the photo and note how few people around) and be back early enough that you still have your afternoon and lunch in Condesa. Gio's knowledge and passion for the Teotihuacan really enhanced the tour of the site and the understanding of the city. The visit to the residential historical site really made it special to understand the culture and an extra bonus as the tour buses don't go there. Highly recommend Gio's Teotihuacan Tour.
Great way to see Teotihuacán without crowds

5.00Had a great time with Gio! We were a great group size ( only 5 of us) and got there early enough so that there were no crowds. Gio did a great job of showing us different aspects of the Teotihuacános life and culture!
This is the tour for art and culture enthusiasts!

5.00Gio clearly has a passion for the detailed art preserved at these sites, even taking us to the off-site Tetitla murals that other tours rarely go to. He interpreted the various murals, carvings, and aesthetics in an accessible and engaging way, and used this as great context for how the people of the city lived, giving a nuanced picture of what life was like over the centuries. This was actually my third guided tour of Teotihuacan (I keep on convincing people to visit CDMX with me), and there was still quite a bit that was new for me. The logistics are also efficient and smart - early start to beat the traffic, no wasted time waiting for hotel pickup, breakfast at the hottest bakery in the entire city, and back in time for lunch!
Perfect tour with great information!

5.00Such a great and informative tour and all planned in a good amount of time. Nothing boring like typical tours. Nothing rushed either. Gio was fantastic!
