★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 hours (approx.) · from $39Our pick

See Tlatelolco, Guadalupe Shrine, and Teotihuacan in one full Mexico City day, with transport, a tequila tasting, guide, and optional lunch.

“This trip is well organized. Those three spots are what we wanted to visit. They are unforgettable! The tour guide is energetic and friendly, but he speaks English with strong accent and also too fast, which is hard to understand. The worst part is lunch time. It’s 3:25pm at the end of tour. We wish we could bring some snacks because we were all starving and didn’t have enough energy to climb the pyramid.”

In particular, Alex, who led the English portion of the tour, was outstanding. As a UNAM graduate himself, he explained everything with clear logic and in simple English, making it easy to follow even though English is not my native language. Thanks to him, I was able to truly understand the stories behind Mexico and its key historical figures. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the rich history and art of Mexico City!Read more”

The private pickup made everything easy, and the early departure really helped us avoid the worst of the traffic and crowds. Our guide, Aldo, truly brought the site to life. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and shared clear, interesting context as we walked through the major areas, including the Pyramid of the Moon, Pyramid of the Sun, and the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. He was also genuinely flexible and worked with us the whole time. We were both recovering from hip surgery, and while we could walk, he kept…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 14 to 16 hours (approx.) · from $134

Review of Tolantongo’s thermal pools, warm river, caves, and waterfalls on a long but well-organized day trip from Mexico City.

“Overall Tolantongo is worth a visit but we don’t recommend Viator. It would make more sense to book a private driver and stay at the hotel at least for one night! The trip to get there is very long (min. 4h) and the van was extremely uncomfortable and not only on the bumpy roads, which was the case half of the trip! The whole trip the van shaking and we were bumping around. Our seats didn’t have any windows. We were sitting in the back and we couldn’t hear anything the guide said, even though he didn’t say much. A guide for the tour is not needed, even though our…”
