★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 hours (approx.) · from $47Our pick

Review of the Teotihuacan pyramids and La Gruta tour from Mexico City, with practical advice on timing, guides, food, crowds, and value.

“DON'T DOUBT IT -- this is the tour to book. Yair and Fidencio were absolute stars! With amazing service, incredible knowledge and everything in both English and Spanish, perfect for my Mexican family and my English partner. Yair adapted the itinerary to avoid crowds, gave us tips to climb the temple (not pyramid!) and told us the history from a deep and personal perspective. We had a blast! And the restaurant is a highlight, if that's possible when you have the beautiful Teotihuacán as the main attraction.”

Fantastic tour with great people, highly recommended!”

Pyramids of Teotihuacan VIP Tour + Iconic Restaurant La Gruta

3.Pyramids of Teotihuacan VIP Tour + Iconic Restaurant La Gruta

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 hours (approx.) · from $55

Visit Teotihuacán with an English-speaking guide, sample spirits, join a food workshop, and eat inside La Gruta near the pyramids.

“This tour is great. You’ll need to have a moderate fitness level as you’ll be going up and down a lot of stairs (without rails), so be prepared for that. You do have the option to not go up and pyramid, but you do lose out on learning the facts. Lunch in the cave was enjoyable and very good. Lunch $ is not included. The food was good, but pricey. Paid $105 in USD for 2.”

Review of Xochimilco’s Day of the Dead night boat tour, with dinner, beer pairings, timing, value, logistics, and practical booking advice.

Also, I could hear/understand the Catrina and I’m bilingual. For the price, I expected so much more. The food was delicious. Overall, pretty disappointing.”
