A two-day Mexico City tour pairing Teotihuacan, Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo, Coyoacan, Xochimilco, Tlatelolco, and UNAM.
“On the first day we visited Teotihuacán, the Plaza of 3 Cultures and the Basilica. Our guide Salvador was so knowledgeable and professional. It made the experience very enjoyable. The second day we went to Xochimilco, Coyoacán and Frida’s house. Héctor and Mario were excellent guides. However on both days there were stops at retailers that took up time that could have been spent at the destinations where we actually wanted to go. I don’t want to be forced to participate in a presentation that feels like we are just being targeted to make a purchase.”
Ride a hot-air balloon over Teotihuacan, enjoy breakfast, explore the pyramids, and visit Guadalupe Shrine on this full-day Mexico City tour.
“The air ballon fly was really smooth. We had a beautiful views. The food at the buffet was good, we had to pay for drinks because it included water, green and orange juice only. We tipped the waiters because unfortunately they do not receive a wage. They live on tips so, be generous. The Obsidian Workshop was interesting, it does not show you how the rock was worked, however the person who assist us there was very funny, we had a lot of samples (alcohol beverages) She was really nice and funny. The Teotihuacan tour was a little bit boring. The guide wasn't the nicest. Since we arrive she was…”

Review of the CDMX tour to Tlatelolco, Guadalupe Shrine, and Teotihuacan, with practical advice on value, timing, guides, and what to expect.
“Gio and Robert were very professional. Gio was full of energy, very knowledgeable and eager to help👍👍. Robert the driver in his quiet way drove safely and what I liked about him was his helping a family with a seven month old child . What can be improved ? We were at Cafe Miga 20 minutes before the pickup time at 8.20 am. BUT the tour started late at 8.45 am I would strongly recommend removing the local tasting and souvenir buying stop . Personally a waste of time as bars in Mexico City offer a much better experience . Use the extra one hour at Guadalupe as we felt…”
Review of a private Cancun tour to Ek Balam and Rio Lagartos, with flamingos, boat costs, timing, value, and practical tips.
“The day was wonderful! Fermin arrived right on time at my hotel. He drove a very comfortable, clean van. He was prepared for the heat with cold towels and water. He offered me my choice of routes. The slower scenic way vs the toll road. He told interesting stories about the countryside and the villages we passed through. We met up with his friend in Rio Lagartos who had his boat ready to go. We had a lovely boat ride out to the salt pans passing by alligators, egrets, black hawks, pelicans and two roseate spoonbills. The salt pans were a surreal combination of stark colors ..the white salt, the…”
