All 8 pass the bar of 4.5 from 30 or more travellers; the first row carries 4.7 from 6,206 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together. Then we read what the price buys at the gate. The MX$210 admission comes first, then a guide inside, the shop stop, the pickup point and the hours at the archaeological zone. The rows run in order of fit. How we pick tours.
On your own, admission is MX$210 for international visitors, plus MX$60 on the bus each way, about 60 minutes; a guide is an INAH service with no published price. The Early Access Guided Tour, from US$58, adds the coach at 06:20, admission and 3 hours inside with a guide. Choose the tour for the 08:00 opening with explanations; go alone for your own pace.
From 5 to 9 hours door to door across the 8 tours. The morning or afternoon tour takes 5 hours 30 minutes, with 3 inside the archaeological zone and no other stop. The 9-hour day adds the Basilica of Guadalupe and Tlatelolco and spends 2 hours inside. Seven of the 8 give 2 to 3 hours inside; INAH recommends 3 to 5 for a visit.
Three of the 8 collect you at a hotel door. The La Gruta tour lists 411 pickup addresses and departs at 08:00. The Basilica tour calls at 4 hotels between 08:00 and 08:35, and the tour with groups of 14 meets at 3 hotels at 09:00. The remaining 5 gather at meeting points in the city, the earliest at 06:20 in the Historic Centre.
Between 06:20 and 10:00 across the 8 tours; 2 also depart at 12:00 or 12:30 in the afternoon. The 06:20 departure from the Historic Centre reaches the gate for the 08:00 opening. Both 07:35 tours travel directly to the archaeological zone. The Basilica tours and the 09:00 hotel departure make 1 to 4 stops beforehand; INAH puts the hottest hours at 11:30 to 15:30.
