Our take on the Teotihuacan, Guadalupe Shrine & Tlatelolco Day Tour with Lunch
You meet at Isabel la Católica 61 in the Historic Centre at 07:30, or at MIGA Café in Colonia Juárez at 08:20. The coach goes first to Tlatelolco for 30 minutes, then to the Basilica of Guadalupe for 90 minutes.

The tour lasts 9 hours. The listing gives no group size. The languages are English and Spanish. A full refund needs a cancellation 24 hours ahead. Rated 4.8 from 12,509 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together.

Worth it if, skip it if
Worth it if
- You want Tlatelolco, the Basilica of Guadalupe and Teotihuacan in one 9-hour day, ticket in the price.
- A 07:30 meeting in the Historic Centre or 08:20 in Colonia Juárez suits where you stay.
- You want the option without lunch at US$41.25; lunch stays an add-on.
Skip it if
- You want the pyramids before the 11:30 heat; on this tour they come last, after lunch.
- 2 hours inside is too short for you; INAH recommends 3 to 5.
- A 40-minute stop at a craft workshop with a tasting bothers you.
