I was able to experience...
I was able to experience the tours as a solo and had a great time! Very educational and knowledgeable in both places and both guides were very friendly and added to the experience. I appreciated the flexibility and attention to detail on timing and sequences of the tour. Being able to experience both places the same day also allowed me to get a full picture of the story behind the 2 and how they tie into each other. Overall, great experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear you had such a great time exploring with us as a solo traveler. We’re glad you appreciated our team's flexibility and timing, and that visiting both incredible sites on the same day helped you see how their histories beautifully connect. It was a pleasure sharing these stories with you! We hope to welcome you back to Mexico for more adventures in the future! Warmest regards, The PATA TOURS Team

Teotihuacan and Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe
This was an exceptional tour and one of the highlights of our time in Mexico City. From the moment we were picked up, everything was organized, comfortable, and professional. Josue was a professional and very attentive driver. The vehicle was modern and very comfortable, and we appreciated having plenty of water available throughout the day. Our first destination was Teotihuacán, where we were guided by Montserrat López Hernández. She was absolutely wonderful—warm, engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the history of the site. As a local guide with experience connected to archaeological work in the area, she brought a depth of understanding that made the ancient city come alive. Montserrat did a fantastic job explaining the significance of the pyramids, the Avenue of the Dead, the residential areas, carvings, paintings, and glyphs throughout the site. She continually encouraged questions and engaged our entire family, including our children, with thoughtful observations and interesting challenges that kept everyone involved. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and her kindness made the experience especially enjoyable. What impressed us most is that my husband and I had visited Teotihuacán before, yet we still learned a tremendous amount. Montserrat shared insights and details we had never encountered on previous visits, making the site feel fresh and fascinating all over again. Lunch was excellent, with delicious local cuisine in a beautiful and welcoming setting at restaurant La Catrina. It was a wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy another aspect of Mexican culture. Later, we visited the Basilica of Guadalupe with Pablo, who provided a comprehensive and fascinating tour of the entire complex. He guided us through the history of the original chapel, the Chapel of the Indians, the old basilica, and the new basilica with clarity, sensitivity, and remarkable historical knowledge. He is a gifted storyteller and has a talent for placing events in their broader historical and cultural context. Like Teotihuacán, the Basilica was a place my husband and I had visited before, yet Pablo still managed to teach us many new things. His explanations deepened our appreciation for the site and helped us understand aspects of its history and significance that we had previously overlooked. Both guides were excellent with our children while also providing the depth and substance that adults appreciate. They answered questions thoughtfully, helped us capture wonderful family photographs, and made the entire day feel welcoming and engaging. We left feeling that we had not only visited two extraordinary places but had truly learned from experts who care deeply about sharing Mexico’s history and culture. We highly recommend this tour and are especially grateful to Montserrat and Pablo for making it such a memorable experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Louis, Thank you so much for such a wonderful and detailed review of your time in Mexico City with us! We are incredibly proud to hear that our private tour was a highlight of your family trip. We will gladly pass along your compliments to Josue for his excellent and attentive driving, and to Montserrat and Pablo for sharing their incredible expertise and passion. It is fantastic to know that even though you had visited Teotihuacán and the Basilica before, our guides were able to bring fresh, deep insights to make the sites feel entirely new for you and engaging for your children. We’re also glad you enjoyed that delicious lunch at La Catrina! For the entire PATA TOURS team, it was an absolute honor to host your beautiful family. We hope to welcome you back soon for more adventures in Mexico! Warmest regards, The PATA TOURS Team

We had a fantastic time...
We had a FANTASTIC time with Isias. He was so kind and friendly. Him and Josue picked us up on time from our hotel at 8am in a clean, comfortable car then transferred us to the pyramids and basilica! Even while we were in the car he was sharing tidbits and answering any questions we asked. Like I said, Isias was so knowledgeable about the history and every question we asked he was able to answer. The pyramids was my favorite memory of visiting Mexico City and I am so thankful that I booked this tour to be able to do so. If you are looking for a private tour with a fantastic guide… I highly recommend this one!
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for your feedback that helps us a lot to improve. Isaias is one of the best tour guides we have and is a delight listening to him. We hope to see you again someday. Thanks again.

Great Experience! Absolutely worth the money.
The tour title said "private" but I didn't actually expect that. It was! Just me and the wife, and we didn't have to think about anything. SUV transportation was very comfortable. Guide Isaiah was super knowledgeable, fluent in English and understandable. We were easily in/out of each location stop. Love the pyramid complex! Great pace. Not hurried. Not crowded. Loved it! Lunch stop was very cool venue, and food was great. All around a great experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your feedback. We truly enjoy hosting private events, as they allow us to provide a fully personalized service. We’re glad to hear that you had a wonderful day with our team. Best regards,

Great experience at Teotihuacan & The Basilica of Guadalupe
My wife and I went on this tour on Feb. 7. Our guide was Isaias and I can sum up our overall experience in one word: excellent! He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic; not only in relationship to the pyramids and the Basilica but on Mexican history & culture, as well. His command of English was excellent. His passion for the subject matter was so contagious that it filters into his clients. Thank you, Isaias for a wonderful tour! I would highly recommend PATA to anyone. I regret that I can’t remember the name of our driver, but he was also excellent. Greg&Cheryl
Response from the operator: Dear Greg, Thank you very much for your review. It helps us to let more people know what to expect from our services. It was a pleasure to share this experience with you. As you say, Isaias is one of our best guides — he's an expert in history and has a great personality. Isaias and Josué (the driver) and I are very grateful that you chose us for this adventure in Teotihuacan, the City of the Gods.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Teotihuacán Pyramids & Basilica of Guadeloupe: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Private Tour: Teotihuacán Pyramids & Basilica of Guadeloupe cost?
+
Prices start at $1500 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 Private Tour: Teotihuacán Pyramids & Basilica of Guadeloupe take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Private Tour: Teotihuacán Pyramids & Basilica of Guadeloupe worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 73 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 Private Tour: Teotihuacán Pyramids & Basilica of Guadeloupe?
+
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 Private Tour: Teotihuacán Pyramids & Basilica of Guadeloupe suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Teotihuacán Pyramids & Basilica of Guadeloupe?
+
Around 26 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Teotihuacán Pyramids & Basilica of Guadeloupe 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.
