A very worthwhile tour! Rafael was an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. Teotihuacan is a must-see if you are in Mexico City, and there’s so much to know that you’d miss out on without a guide. The lunch stop was a bit more touristy than I would have preferred, but I guess that’s somewhat to be expected and the food wasn’t bad. All in all it was a great day!

The tour starts very early. But that is exactly what is worth it, because you can enjoy the peace and quiet in the pleasant, cool morning hours. Herson was a very good guide. He shines with expertise and is always in a good mood. We would definitely do it again!

The tour guide was very informative and very good. He was attentive and eager to answer all our questions. But the time after lunch for shopping was too much. Instead we could have gone up to see the old Guadalupe shrine on top of the hill.

The program was very interesting. Besides the amazing flight, I really enjoyed the obsidian workshop and the breakfast! I can only recommend. It's definitely worth the money.

The tour was well organised, and the tour guide knowledgeable.
