A full-day Mexico City tour pairing Teotihuacan’s pyramids with Tlatelolco history and the Guadalupe Basilica, plus tequila and fiesta vibes.
“The day went by so quickly! I appreciated the detailed explanations wherever we went, mixed with an abundance of free time. Gerson and Fernanda did a fantastic job; my only very minor wish was to have spent a little more time at the Basilica (our final stop) but it was such a great time I honestly didn’t mind. The lunch was great, too—prepay if you can, it makes a big difference—and enjoy the live music!”
Float through UNESCO Xochimilco, stroll Coyoacán, see UNAM murals, and visit Casa Azul on a guided Frida-focused day tour.
“Great experience with this tour . In one day we got to do all the cool stuff that I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own . It would have been very frustrating trying to do this alone . First the distance from the CDMX city center to Xochimilco and Coyoacán ( where Frida Kahlo museum is ), is very long . Driving takes awhile and it helps that there was a tour bus to take us to all of these places . Barbara was a great tour guide who has so much knowledge about Mexico and its history . I did enjoy all the mini stops we…”

“Everything was amazing. Got picked up @ our hotel. Took 11/2 hrs to get to site. First met at an area where Roberto talked about all the different precious stones in Mexico. Then we drove to sight. Met our guide who was extremely informative. Talked about how the Aztecs found the 2 pyramids - that were almost all destroyed. They rebuilt both pyramids & there was a palace to see also. Basically for the high priests. Wonderful day”

“Very good price for everything you get to see and what it includes. The instructions are not very clear about pickup and drop off points but once we figured it out it was very convenient. It allowed us to see many sights for 1 price and were able to explore them in depth without feeling rushed. There is plenty pickup points that are walkable distances from reforma and Polanco hotel areas. If you plan correctly and buy museum tickets you are even able to use as rides to and from because of good pick up and drop off points.”
