The vehicle collects you at your accommodation in Mexico City at 06:30 or 07:00, every day of the week. INAH gives 45 to 60 minutes by car. The listing names no time at the gate. The gates open at 08:00, and there is no entry before that.

Inside you have 3 hours with a private guide; the MX$210 ticket is in the price. The itinerary lists one stop, the archaeological zone, and no shop stop. From the 08:00 opening the 3 hours end at 11:00, before the 11:30 heat. The tour lasts 6 hours.

The price is per person, the vehicle and the guide serve your party only, and one booking takes up to 15 travellers. The guide works in English or Spanish. A full refund needs a cancellation 24 hours ahead. Rated 5.0 from 76 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together.
