What people are saying about Pyramid of the Moon

BEST idea to do this early morning before the crowds and the intense sun, although it means being up and at the meeting place by 6:50 am! Teotihuacan is a marvel, and our guide Carla was able to capture important points without overwhelming us with information. Tour includes climbing and walking on dusty roads, but it's worth seeing the magnificence of a once great empire. The tequila tasting was a fun bonus, as we didn't realize there were that many variations, including pulque and a liqueur! Restaurant wasn't great and not cheap, but it was okay.

Angela was our amazing guide - a wealth of Mexican culture and history. The trip was quick and we entered the archeological site early and before the large groups. My only regret is that I didn't buy any of the pottery at the indigenous artesian market that she took us to prior to Teotihuacan. The choice was a little overwhelming, but the quality and prices were some of the best that we saw in the Mexico City area.

Everything was amazing, Leonard and Serjio both of them were amazing, they have unbelievable information about the area and story of their nation! I’d recommend them to all travelers who are in Mexico City or planning to go there. It was my pleasure to be in their tour.

It was an amazing experience, Cristian the tour guide was very knowledgeable and Alejandro the bus driver was also very friendly. We were given enough time to walk around and shop at all 3 places visited.

Excellent guide. Good combination of 3 different experiences. Confortable transport
