Review of the Teotihuacán tour from Mexico City, with pyramid access, guides, tastings, transport, lunch, value, and practical tips.

“Very poorly organized tour. They called me the day before of the tour to tell me that we can’t go to the basilica because there was a special event going on and its going to be busy. They refused to chnage the price even though we are not going to visit the basilica. They asked me to send them our hotel name and address to their WhatsApp. When I sent it, they asked us to come to a different hotel to board their van. We had to travel 30 mins to meet them at a different hotel. Which is fine, I understand that they might not be able to go…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,043 reviews · 1 - 2 days · from $21

Review of Mexico City’s Turibus hop-on hop-off tour, covering four routes, major sights, timing, audio issues, value, and practical tips.

“It was a great experience. The Turibus made it so easy to get around and helps to see/visit the main attractions in Mexico City. There are banners on certain light posts to help identify the hop on/hop off locations. As for the time for the bus to come back around depends on the traffic. But I usually asked the staff on the bus for a estimated time when they will come back to that location: which helped to plan what to do in that amount of time before they come back. All the staff were extremely helpful and polite. I definitely recommend going on the Turibus when visiting!”

She studied culinary arts so she was able to give us background on the food preparation and variations in different areas of Mexico. I would definitely do another tour with her and would recommend her to anyone visiting CDMX. She even had great suggestions for the rest of my trip and a cute bar to stop at after the tour.”

Fer is the kind of guide you want as she balances modern humor with a passion for others to know her city. I learned a lot on her tour about how some of the history of this expansive city dances with the present”
