People also ask

Do Teotihuacan tours stop at a shop?

Some do: the big-bus tour stops at a handicrafts workshop in San Martín de las Pirámides, with a tasting for adults of 18 and over. The 8 tours here are sold without it, and 6 itineraries list no stop. The other 2 list a coffee stop at a shop on the way out, 10 to 15 minutes on one of them.

What is the tourist trap on Teotihuacan tours?

A craft workshop with a tasting for adults of 18 and over, after the pyramids. On the Turibus tour it is in San Martín de las Pirámides: an obsidian carving demonstration, silver jewellery and folk art, then the store. The tasting is tequila, mezcal and pulque, official ID required. Casa Obsidiana, in local packages, shows over 1,000 obsidian pieces with mezcal and xoconostle liqueur.

Which Teotihuacan tours have no shopping stop?

Six of the 8, by their itineraries. All 6 include the MX$210 ticket: 2 hours inside for US$44.50; 3 hours for US$51.06, US$52.16, US$59 or US$49.50; 4 hours with pickup at your accommodation for US$76.81. The first row has 4.9 from 1,072 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together.

How long do Teotihuacan tours without shop stops spend at the site?

Between 2 and 4 hours inside the archaeological zone on 6 of the 8, against the 3 to 5 hours INAH recommends. Four list 3 hours, one 2, one 4; the 2 with a coffee stop list 6 hours, drive included. Seven also start at 12:00 or 12:30, inside the hottest hours, 11:30 to 15:30. Food is not permitted inside; 3 exclude lunch.
