Our take on the Teotihuacan pyramids morning or afternoon without tourist traps

The Shared Tour lists departures at 07:35 and 12:30, every day of the week. The 3 meeting points in Mexico City have their own times: 08:00 to 08:15 in the morning, 12:45 to 13:00 in the afternoon. There is no hotel pickup on this option.

The MX$210 ticket is in the price. An in-person guide walks you through the archaeological zone for 3 hours; the itinerary has that one step and lists no shop stop. The tour lasts 5 hours 30 minutes from the meeting point.

The listing gives no group size. The languages are English and Spanish. A full refund needs a cancellation 24 hours before departure. Rated 4.9 from 10,426 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together.
