★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 26 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $349

Private Teotihuacan and Tula day trip from Mexico City with hotel pickup, lunch, and tickets, led by an English-speaking guide.

“The tour was very well planned and gave us rich experiences at two great archeological sites. I am glad we chose a tour that included Tula as well as the more common Teotihuacán. It really added to our understanding of Mesoamerican civilizations, plus going to Tula first lets the early morning crowds at Teotihuacán dissipate, so we had a better experience there as well. Our guide, Carlos, was knowledgeable and so friendly; we really appreciated his passion for the sites we were seeing and all aspects of Mexican history and heritage. We had wide ranging conversation during our drives. It was a great day and we're very glad we did…”

12.Mexico’s Ancient Wonders: Teotihuacan, Tula & Anthropology Museum

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $401

Explore Teotihuacan pyramids, Toltec Tula, and Mexico City’s top anthropology museum on a comfortable 10-hour private guided tour.

“5 stars for our guide Sal but overall 4 stars because you simply can’t do all three things in a day given local traffic. We did Teotihuacan first, then Tula and by the time we got to the anthropology museum it was one hour until it closed so we have to go back again tomorrow. Your best bet is to find a tour that cuts out Tula and just does Teotihucan and the Museum. Tula has cool warrior statues but not much else you won’t see at Teotihuacan so it’s not worth the extra hour’s drive there and then two hours back to the museum. Also, there seems to be…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 5 reviews · 8 hours (approx.)

Private guided day trip to Tepoztlan and the Tepozteco viewpoint from Mexico City, with town walking, market time, and a steep hike.

“I’ll start with sharing this tour is basically just hiring a driver to take you to Tepotzotlán for $245 usd (for 2 people) - WASTE! Hire or arrange your own transportation if you want to visit Tepoztlán. This was not a real tour at all and quite a terrible experience. Our guide did not know the history of the pyramid, altitude, town historical founding, etc. We had to look up a lot of details online to get a sense of the place. We were not informed of how much of a intense hike it would be get to the top of the mountain to see the pyramid and we’re woefully…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 11 hours · from $192

11-hour small-group tour from Mexico City to Huasca de Ocampo, Basaltic Prisms, Acosta Mine, Peña del Aire, and Real del Monte.

“Huasca de Ocampo (the very first declared Magic Town), the Prismas Basálticos & Real Del Monte are very beautiful places worth visiting. It was my second time visiting and the first for my husband: I wanted to go back to see it again. Our guide, Ulises was very attentive, allowing us to take our own pace and explaining everything with great patience and dedication. He was great company. 200% recommended! He introduced us to the best places to eat on this tour: barbacoa in Huasca; quesadillas and our favorite drinks “cantaritos” at the Peña del Aire; and our own made Pastes at the Museo del Paste in Real Del Monte…”
