Reviews
Teotihuacan was amazing to see in person, however.... Our guide Carla didn't seem to know know a whole lot about the site and was kind of unsure of questions being asked. We kept getting pushed through without taking much time to look at most of the buildings/pyramids. We never even got closer than 50ft to the pyramid of the moon, and spent a whopping 5 minutes total at the pyramid of the sun.
This was extremely lame and frustrating. We just kept walking and being rushed like cattle through until the end. I figured in the end we would get some actual time to walk around by ourselves and that would make up for it. WRONG!
We got a whopping 30 minutes to ourselves. Other tours I have taken have given 2hrs to explore on your own which would have made the tour fine.
But instead once again we were rushed and on to the money grab obisidian workshop.
For Teotihuacan, you'd be best served to find another tour operator that actually goes to each or most buildings and then gives you adequate free time to explore.
For the City Tour on day 2:
We went to the Anthropology museum. Our tour guide was Miriam and she was extremely knowledgeable and we took the time to view most of the things the museum has to offer.
Unfortunately the street where Templo De Mayor and Museo Bella Artes were located was closed due to some type of event so we couldn't get over there.
Miriam suggested another landmark Castillo De Chapultepec which was within walking distance.
It's a Spanish Colonial castle home that was built for the rich and important. We didn't find this location very interesting and neither did the other people on our tour, but this was not Miriam's fault and she was just making the best of a bad situation. She was excellent and highly recommend her if you end up doing this tour anyway.
All in all it was fairly cheap, but your money is probably spent best on a different tour company that will give you enough time at Teotihuacan as it's a big site and you'll want some quality time there.
