An interesting day in Mexico City
The guide, Ursula, was very knowledgeable and friendly. She gave us extensive explanations and history at each spot. The negatives were the lunch, which was horrible and the driver, who drove very fast and recklessly. We felt sick when we got off the bus at our hotel.
Response from the operator: We are glad you had a great day and enjoyed the tour. I will share your feedback with Ursula and we´ll make sure to give your comments to the operator and driver. Thank you Hope to see you soon All best

Teotihuacan was the best...
Teotihuacan was the best part though there was no Mezal. It was one shot of tequila. It’s not the tour’s fault but COVID means you cannot climb the ruins as is shown in the photos
Response from the operator: Hello John, Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments, Yes I'm sorry, unfortunately, pandemics have us with a lot of restrictions :( but I hope besides that, I hope you enjoyed your day! Hope to see you soon!

Espectacular / Spectacular
Pasamos un día espectacular con Úrsula de guía y Ricardo al volante. Ambos muy amables. Úrsula fue guía ideal por su conocimiento, personalidad llevadera, y organización. Aunque hemos visitado México varias veces, ahora nos sentimos mucho más informadas sobre la historia y culturas mexicanas. We had a spectacular day with Úrsula our guide and Ricardo driving. Both were very attentive. Úrsula was the perfect for sure to get knowledge, easy going personality, and organization. Even though we had visited Mexico a few times, we now feel much more informed about Mexico’s history and cultures.
Response from the operator: Hola CoralM_Z Nos da mucho gustoq ue hayas disfrutado esta experiencia con nosotros! Con gusto le enviare a Úrsula tus comentarios, esperamos verte pronto en Mexico nuevamente! Muchas gracias!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Historical downtown Mexico City & Teotihuacan Pyramids Mezcal tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Historical downtown Mexico City & Teotihuacan Pyramids Mezcal tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $42 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Historical downtown Mexico City & Teotihuacan Pyramids Mezcal tasting take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Historical downtown Mexico City & Teotihuacan Pyramids Mezcal tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Historical downtown Mexico City & Teotihuacan Pyramids Mezcal tasting?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Historical downtown Mexico City & Teotihuacan Pyramids Mezcal tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Historical downtown Mexico City & Teotihuacan Pyramids Mezcal tasting?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Historical downtown Mexico City & Teotihuacan Pyramids Mezcal tasting start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Frida Kahlo VIP [Museum Tickets Included] Walk, Markets & Churros, Local Foodie Adventure CDMX: Tacos & more with Sherpa Food Tours, Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
