★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,186 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $64

“It was an amazing time visiting the pyramids. The bus there was new, clean and well maintained. Our guide Diana was upbeat, very knowledgeable and lovely. She walked us through the entire site explaining to us all the history as we walked. You do need to be able to keep up physically and do a lot of steps. It was a very memorable day.”

3.Teotihuacan Early Access Guided Tour with optional Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6,138 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $39

Leave central Mexico City at 6:20 a.m. for Teotihuacan before the worst heat and crowds. A bilingual guide leads you along the Avenue of the Dead, past major pyramids, murals, and temples, followed by an obsidian workshop and optional Mexican lunch. Guides such as Alan, Antonio, Lily, and Alex have earned especially warm praise, but lunch and shopping stops may not suit everyone.

“Everyone was kind and helpful. The bus ride was comfortable. The food after was pretty ok too. Once getting to the site I would ask for your ticket. We decided to use the bathroom at gate 2 and they wouldn’t let us in because we didn’t have the site ticket. So make sure and get that. We had to buy another one to get back in. I would also suggest that starting early at the moon pyramid would make more sense. By the time we got there it was crowded. These are just my ideas but still I enjoyed it.”

5.Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Flight from Mexico City / Volare

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,262 reviews · 3 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $155

Rise before dawn for a 30 to 50 minute shared balloon flight over Teotihuacan Valley. Volare provides hotel pickup from selected Mexico City areas, coffee before takeoff, a Mexican buffet breakfast with mariachi music, a landing toast, and a flight diploma. Add three hours at the pyramids, or return to Mexico City after breakfast.

“Hot air-ballooning over these pyramids at sunrise is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The hot air balloons don't have doors, so there is some climbing and jumping into the basket involved. It would have also been nice if there were 2 fewer people in each basket, since it felt like we were packed in like sardines in a can. The loss of one star is for the quality of the breakfast buffet, and the long wait once we arrived at the location until we actually got sorted into groups and went off to get on the balloons. The transportation to and from CDMX was timely and comfortable, but some improvements to the…”

“Would highly recommend. Fanny was great at making us comfortable, and explained the itinerary as the day progressed. I highly suggest using the transportation if you are in Condesa or Roma Norte neighborhoods to avoid driving in traffic. The explanation of Agave plant and its history was very informative.”

10.The best tour to Teotihuacán from Mexico City

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,236 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $50

Visit Teotihuacán with an English-speaking certified guide, see the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, walk the Avenue of the Dead, sample local mezcal and liqueurs, and stop for lunch. The small pyramid group can include up to 14 people, though transport may hold up to 20. Guides such as Susana and José receive especially strong praise.

“First of all, we could not reach the ruins in time. We were about 40 minutes later than when we should have been there. The driver had no input or information about what we were going to see. There was a TV monitor inside the van which could have been very well used to provide some history about the place we were about to visit. Of course that was not done. Once we reached the pyramids the guide turned out to be a person who was not at all comfortable in English. We had a very difficult time understanding her. She also could not answer most of our questions.”

The lunch was also good. Of the three tours we took in Mexico City this weekend, this one was probably the best value.”

“We had an amazing time at Teotihuacan. The tour was very well-organized. We felt safe in the hot air balloon. There was also an option to purchase drone footage of us on the balloon which was worth it! After the sunrise balloon ride, we had breakfast in a cave restaurant. Then we went to a rock shop and got a chance to purchase obsidian and fire opal at a good price. Afterwards, we got a chance to explore Teotihucan pyramids with an English-speaking guide.”

“Not very organized. Terrible waste of time during lengthy lunch. The guide was just ok. We were pissed that by the end of the tour we were not dropped back at our hotel. We took a taxi to the hotel. The driver gave us the wrong information that the hotel was 25 minutes drive where actually it was 5 minutes drive. Had to cancel my dinner reservation because it was wrong information that the. This trip was a mers.”
