“This was a great tour of the pyramids. We had a good mix of historical information and walking around. This was a nonstop tour which I loved - The entire focus was on the archaeological site. Robert was a great tour guide and answered all the questions from the group. The bus is very comfortable and has a bathroom. I would definitely recommend brining water, layers and toilet paper. When we got to the site, it was 49 degrees Fahrenheit and by the time we left, it was in the 70s. A hat and sunglasses are also necessary as there is little coverage. When we got to the site, the…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,025 reviews · from $89

Spend 10 hours with bilingual guides such as Alex, Rodrigo, or Leonardo exploring Coyoacán, Casa Azul, UNAM’s murals, and Xochimilco. Choose the Frida Kahlo Museum and lunch options carefully, since the cheapest fare includes neither.

“This was a great tour with Leo & Alan they both handled the large group very well and were timely and interactive without being too much. They were both very knowledgeable. I traveled with 3 adults, 1 preteen, 1 teen, and an infant. We booked the full experience tour and it was extremely accomodating to all of us. It's a good tour if you want to hit a few spots but I'll add if you want a full experience on the Trajineras I would look for a different tour because this one felt short and a bit rushed. I definitely recommend getting the tour with the Frida Kahlo tickets included…”

“Balloon was great but we didn’t land near the pyramids. Also booking the breakfast and the transportation is unnecessary given that it’s not that expensive to Uber to and from the location. There’s a lot of transit between the office the airfield the landing area back to the airfield and then back to the office before ever getting to the pyramids. The ride itself was awesome.”
