        Some good things, some bad...
        The good things, the driver was really nice always behind us to make sure we were not lost. Taxco city is very beautiful and it is totally worth it to walk along it's narrow streets. The bad, we took this trip because we did not want to visit the silver mine. However, we made 3 stops to silver shops on our way. Don't buy there, it is overpriced. Don't hesitate to say No. The guide did not go in the church with us, but we found a local guide at the entrance that gave us a quick explanation (old guy with a green purse).

        Great overall tour.
        This is a great tour if this is your first time in Mexico City. It provides a general educational experience. We were a little disappointed that the time at the Basilca as too short.

        Do not recommend!!!
        The pyramids were nice, the tour guide was horrible. Our guide was an older lady named Teresa and she had the worst attitude. She made the explanations way too long so at some point one lady walked away and my daughter started looking at her phone. So two people were not paying attention out of a group of 12. Well she started complaining that everyone needed to pay attention or she would rather call for another guide. I calmly said to her "Ma'am don't worry about it the rest of us are listening" I said this in spanish, to which she replied "don't call me Señora that's what you call the cleaning ladies". Then she says "clearly you weren't paying attention when I said my name is Teresa. It just went downhill from there. No one in the group was happy. So once we finally made it to the pyramids (after several other stops) we separated from the group ( which she wasn't happy about and yelled at me from afar) and we returned in an Uber. The ride wasn't that great either. It was a crammed 12 person van. I thought it was going to be one of those big tour busses which I did see from another company when we arrived.

        Good for families with kids
        Rosa (guide) and Eli (driver) were great. Prompt, punctual, kept the tour moving, and gave us clear instructions as well as what to expect throughout the day. We traveled with kids age 7 & 9. For those with kids, I recommend bringing plenty of water and snacks (you can leave stuff in the van at the stops). There are opportunities for purchasing food and lots of restroom opportunities but do take the opportunities when you get them. It’s a long day, 8:15am to 5pm but worth it because a lot of sights are packed in and the guides make everything so easy for you.

        Wonderful experience
        The tour began with a scenic drive from Mexico City to the archaeological site, offering glimpses of the surrounding countryside and setting the stage for the adventure ahead. Upon arrival, our great guide lead us through the sprawling complex, sharing captivating insights into the city's rise and fall, its mysterious inhabitants, and its enduring legacy. The highlight of the tour is undoubtedly the opportunity to ascend the majestic pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, where breathtaking views await atop their towering summits. As you climb the ancient stone steps, you can't help but marvel at the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the ancient Teotihuacanos, who constructed these monumental structures without the aid of modern technology. After the pyramids we headed to the Basilica Guadalupe, the tour began at the main entrance of the Basilica complex, where we were greeted by the iconic image of Our Lady of Guadalupe emblazoned on the facade. Stepping inside, we were enveloped by the tranquil atmosphere of the Basilica, adorned with vibrant murals, intricate mosaics, and flickering candles that evoke a sense of reverence and devotion. The centerpiece of the Basilica is the revered Tilma of Juan Diego, believed to be the miraculous cloak upon which the image of the Virgin Mary miraculously appeared in 1531. Guided by knowledgeable docents, visitors have the opportunity to learn about the history and significance of the Guadalupe apparition, as well as the enduring devotion it has inspired among believers for centuries.

        Teotihuacan tour
        We principally wanted to see the pyramids at Teotihuacán and this tour was good value, efficient and well executed. Host was friendly and helpful. Basilica was great too. Recommended

      This trip is great! Very well organised by Viewmextours. Carlos was the guide: he knows so much!!! He talks the whole time in English and Spanish, must be very tiring for him, but he is full of energy until the en of the tour. Big compliment for Carlis. The driver, Alberto, did a good job too, also compliments for him!

      The pick-up at my hotel was punctual. It is a long day, pick-up at 8.50 am and drop-off at 6.10 pm. Pick-up and drop-off are included. Lunch was also included (except drinks) and it was very good, nice atmosphere, rooftop terrace, Mexican music. Very good Mexican food, option of different menus.

      The time spent at the highlights was enough. The pyramids are amazong, especially the pyramid of the moon. Carlos was very clear in his instructions: when we were given free time at the different highlights: pick-p at that time and at that spot: no problem, every one was there.

      This tour is very good value for money and I woukd recommend it to everyone who wants to see the pyramids in one day, everything included.

      The tour and the guide were very good, recommended. Then, the place to eat is of very low quality, a degrading show of two costumed characters dancing to the very high rhythm of drums, horrible, impossible to hear each other. Drinks are not included and the hibiscus water they had was 99% water and 1% hibiscus. I do not recommend eating there at all, it is a very very low quality buffet, bland food. Then the room manager has 0 customer service. Just because tourists are your clients doesn't mean you should treat them badly. I recommend the tour but I URGENTLY SUGGEST changing the food place because it is the worst of all.

      This tour was wonderful! Besides Teotihuacan being an amazing experience, the trip included a tour of a local artisan group that makes obsidian pieces and silver jewelry, plus tequila and mezcal with agave plants grown on site. We got to taste several agave based drinks that are produced throughout the harvest and fermentation process. They had a huge shop that I bought several beautiful pieces of high quality silver jewelry at. We paid for the included lunch which was delicious. Our tour guide and driver were both lovely and very knowledgeable. Exceptional value for your money, highly recommend!

      I enjoyed seeing the pyramids but this trip could have been organized much better. Our tour guide Rosamaria tried her best. She explained everything in Spanish and English. Our first stop was the Basilica and we took a walk through all together. She then gave us free time. Except she was giving us 2 hours there instead of the 1 hour on the itinerary. When one of the other visitors brought that up, she cut only 20 minutes off of our free time. She assured us, don't worry, we'll have plenty of time for the pyramids and lunch. She told us later that the Basilica is such an important religious site that people who want to take the tour for that reason get annoyed when they have a shorter time. Except that everyone knew how much time was allotted on the itinerary and chose the trip based on that.

      What ended up happening was we went to a terribly slow restaurant for lunch that took two hours to deliver all of our food - a few of us had pre-paid for lunch, which was supposed to be but wasn't a buffet, and most others hadn't. That meant 40+ people had to order individual meals. They couldn't handle it. Those who pre-paid only had 2 set menus to choose from while everyone else had all of the choices. By the time the last couple of people received their food, there was only an hour and 15 minutes left until Teotihuacan was closing (not for last entry but to kick you out). They had to scarf it down and we rushed over there. The guides mostly told us about the pyramids on the way back to Mexico City.

      Rosamaria acknowledged that the restaurant was a very bad choice and said it wasn't her fault, that the manager had chosen it. If they choose another restaurant with a buffet that can handle a group of a large size, and also stop changing the timing of each stop based on what they think visitors want, this would be a decent tour, but for now I'd suggest looking at other companies.

      We went oct 30, 2023. Our driver was Israel and tour guide was Antonio. We were in a mixed group of English and Spanish speakers and Antonio did a good job explaining everything in both Spanish and English. He provided so much knowledge about the areas. We went to the basilica Guadalupe, went for lunch which we opted to have the buffet included, met with a local guide who showed us obsidian and gave us some samples of tequila, then spent a few hours at Teotihuacán. Antonio was very friendly and always looking after us to make sure we weren’t lost and were enjoying ourselves. He always set a meeting point prior to each location in case we got separated from the group which I thought was excellent. I would recommend this day trip

      Super recommended, the guides Rosa Maria and Eliseo, excellent people, super friendly.
      Of course, a couple of things for those who take the tour:

      It is better not to include lunch, since the options they give you in the restaurant are very limited, and we personally did not like them. Those who had not included lunch did better as they had more options to order.

      I would not use the word "fake" to describe the intervention in Teotihucan, as an architect, I prefer to use the word "reconstruction", since fake means false. The site was intervened, and archaeologists have tried to reconstruct it according to what is available, what it probably was in its times of splendor.

      Finally, Eliseo, sorry for accidentally taking your bag. Greetings.
      Thank you very much for a wonderful day.

      Great day out with a friendly and informative guide that delivered information in both English and Spanish. A full on day visiting the Basilica of Guadalupe, lunch at a beautiful restaurant where we also learnt about Obsidian, Silver working and Pulque and then of course a tour of the pyramids. Informative and interesting, this was a great way to experience another side of the city.

      We really liked the experience, super punctual at the indicated pick-up location, the story given by the guide Antonio was very detailed, we really liked the detail and the images he presented to us indicating each moment in time where the events occurred. They told us where to get the souvenirs near the Guadalupe church, and we had a very good time at the pyramids to get to know the area.
      Highly recommended!

      I enjoyed this tour especially the full history given at every stop on the tour by Carlos the tour guide who was extremely personable. I learned alot and this was the last thing I did before I returned home the next morning and it was a nice end to my stay in Mexico city. This tour was smaller and the group fit in a van vs. a charter bus like another tour I went on the day before. I liked the smaller group better since I was a solo traveler. Also it was easier to park, be picked up and arrive/depart on time. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mexico city.

      My favorite tour so far in Mexico! Xavier is a very knowledgeable guide, very interactive, genuinely friendly and approachable. As a local, he could give us a lot of information that you can't find easily accessible on guide books and he held our interest throughout the day. He also gave us his phone number to make the communication easier in case we were apart from the group. The group was small, around 10 people so it was easy to connect and socialize and it was a lot more fun! Full day with enough time to enjoy all sites. Definitely recommend!
