Spend a long day with guides such as Edwin, Cesar, Luis, or Hugo visiting Chichen Itza, swimming in Cenote Chichikan, eating a buffet lunch, and seeing Valladolid.

“We booked this online in advance and were very happy with the tour. Our guide, Martin, was very knowledgeable about the culture and history of the area and did a great job presenting this to our group. He showed us some really interesting things and important details at the archeological site, and visiting the site was a once in a lifetime experience. It was about 12 hours total starting early in the morning, so be ready for a long day, but well worth it.”

There were 44 adults on the bus. we were promised an English speaking guide, but our guide hadn’t spoken English in three years and struggled to communicate with us and had to organize 43 people. He was a sweet man but It was very difficult to understand him . Frida Kahlo museum was lovely. The bus driver was very good, but he left us off in Chinatown due to traffic and that was another experience. The floating gardens were hysterical. They were more like floating, bumper, boats or rafts. The river was…”

Teotihuacan Early Access Guided Tour with optional Lunch

11.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.”
