5.00Allen and Alberto were my guides. Allen guided the English speakers and did an excellent job of providing insight into the history and culture of Teotihuacan. The tour stuck to the announced schedule, the bus was clean and safe and I had a very good time. Great experience.

5.00We really enjoyed our excursion to Teotihuacan with Amigo Tours. The departure was a little delayed, but nothing serious. Our guide Fernanda was great! She is an archaeologist so she had a lot of knowledge and transmitted it very well, and she also has very good vibes! The lunch restaurant was very nice, but for us it was a little expensive.
Everything excellent

4.00The two day tour was very informative. 1st day was very well organized tour of Teotihuacan. Lunch was not included in the price but the place for lunch was an authentic experience with decent food. Our English speaking tour guide Gerson was very knowledgeable and also very funny. We only wish he spoke a little slower and more clearly as it was sometimes very hard to understand him and what he is saying. Day 2 was a private tour of National Museum of Anthropology and the historic centre of Mexico City, including Templo Mayor Museum. Our guide Emmanuel was absolutely fantastic and super knowledgeable and well spoken. Highly recommend Emmanuel. Our only issue with Day 2 tour was it was none stop walking and standing from 9am to 2pm without even a break for lunch or some snacks etc. so we were extremely tired and hungry by the end of the tour. So our only suggestion is to include a lunch or rest period with some food and drinks in Day 2 tour of Mexico City. Other than that great tour altogether and we would recommend taking this tour as you learn a lot about the history of Mexico in general and particularly about Teotihuacan, Mayan and Aztec civilizations.

5.00TEOTIHUACAN is an imposing architectural and archaeological relic, well preserved and allows you to imagine the daily life of this city that once had 200,000 inhabitants. The tour was very illustrative and enjoyable, providing us with explanations and knowledge about the mysteries of its origin. I include a mezcal and tequila tasting.
Very good service and safe
