“The weather was uncooperative, with fog and very limited visibility. After leaving hotel at 5 AM, waiting at air field for a few hours, trip was cancelled. I get safety concerns, but never even received the breakfast as a customer service for the inconvenience . Very unfortunate, but a waste of 7 hours, and have not heard about refund information.”
Private Teotihuacan tour from Mexico City with early pickup, English guide, pyramid highlights, and pulque, tequila, mezcal tasting.
“This is a great tour if you want a private one and want to spend less time on the road and skip the tourist trap locations. Hector was an amazing guide with a lot of knowledge and he made it fun for us. The place is amazing and much larger than I expected. We spent enough time to explore everything. On the way back there is a short stop where you learn how to make mezcal and do a small and quick tasting. I would certainly recommend this tour!”
