Awesome tour with Charlie! - Charlie was a very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny host. I also really enjoyed the visit to the obsidian vendor and restaurant before and after Teotihuacan tour. I wish we could have spent a little bit more time at the Basilica Guadalupe.

Fun and funny - The company was good at replying when contacted. The places and timing between locations were great and not too rushed. Food option was excellent. Our tour guide Carlos was knowledgeable and made it funny all along the way. Glad we didn’t had to be sacrificed after all we went through lol :)

A great tour with Carlos - An excellent tour - the Teotihuacan site is incredible and the other stops were good. Lunch was pleasant especially when sat on a balcony overlooking the pyramids. Carlos our guide was exceptional, full of information delivered with good humour. Recommended.

THE PRICE IS ACCURATE! - It's the best trip for that price. Price is very low and includes many attractions that will keep you up for the whole day. They pick you up with mini-bus, you arrive to the destination, you get tequila testing and introducing to obsidian. Then you go to see pyramids and you have some time for yourself. After that you go to eat lunch which is INCLUDED, and it gives you 2 big options to choose, main dish, soup, and dessert! Which was very big plates. In the end of the trip you come back to Mexico City and visit Church Lady of Guadeloupe. For this price it's perfect. Other options are maybe cheaper but don't do it as well as this one, the other ones that are more expensive seems kinda like not a good deal. My honest recommendation.

Great tour but Guide's English rough - Guide's friendliness and expertise in pre-Colombian history. Unfortunately Charlie's English often made him difficult to understand.

Poor management - The places visited were great but the tour director was incompetent. At the last place visited she asked if anyone needed to use the restroom and I said yes but when I came out of the restroom she and the group were gone, I looked all over but couldn’t find them so I went back to where the van was parked and waited until they came back. There were only 10 in our group so it wasn’t difficult to do a headcount before leaving to go to the site.
