Full description

Take in the three most culturally and historically important sites in the Mexico City area on a full-day tour. First, visit the archeological site of Teotihuacan and marvel at some of the most impressive pyramids in the world. See the Sun and Moon pyramids, the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, and the Dead's Avenue. Next, you’ll head to Mexico’s most important Catholic pilgrimage site, the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This shrine was built to commemorate the reported appearance of the Virgin Mary to Juan Diego, an Aztec peasant. The third and final stop of the tour is Tlatelolco, where it is said that the past, present, and future of Mexico meet. The Plaza de las Tres Culturas is named after the three periods of Mexican history represented by structures from the pre-Columbian, Spanish colonial, and the independent mestizo nation.

The trip was good. The guide was very knowledgeable but one of the first things he told the group was that September is earthquake month and they were waiting for a bug one. In reality, scientifically Dec is the month with more earthquakes but regardless i would not tell a group of happy tourists that.

Angela was an amazing guide, she was funny, knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. We covered a lot of ground during the tour and they took us to very nice restaurant after the Piramides. Food was very tasty and the complimentary mezcal tasting was very educational. I Highly recommend this tour, but don’t overbook your day as you will be spent after this excursion… lots of walking in the heat, but it’s definitely worth it!
