Our take on the Teotihuacan Early Morning Tour: Avoid Crowds, & Expert Guide

The pickup is in Condesa, Roma, Polanco, Reforma or Downtown, for the 07:00 start every day. The listing puts the hotel pickups before 07:00. A brief stop at Tlatelolco comes first.

Inside the archaeological zone you have 3 hours with a guide. The itinerary names the Temple of the Feathered Serpent and the Avenue of the Dead, the Calzada de los Muertos. Then the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon and the Palace of Quetzalpapálotl. The MX$210 ticket is not stated.

After the zone comes a stop at a craft workshop with a tasting, then lunch time at your cost. The tour lasts 8 hours.

The listing names no group size. The languages are English and Spanish. A full refund needs a cancellation 24 hours before departure. Rated 4.8 from 592 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together.
