About this experience
You will get a great experience in a very interesting and millenary city in the north side of this ancient site. An awesome place only 50 minutes away from Mexico City. Teotihuacan it’s the most visited archaeological site of South America and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987. The area is an enormous archaeological city in the Basin of Mexico just 30 miles northeast of Mexico City, containing some of the largest pyramidal structures built in the pre-Columbian Americas. Apart from the pyramidal structures, Teotihuacan is also known for its large residential complexes such as the Avenue of the Dead and numerous colorful- well-preserved murals. Additionally, Teotihuacan produced a thin orange pottery style that is spread throughout Mesoamerica as well the magnificent mortuary mask made in obsidian.

You will enjoy the pyramid of the Sun and The Moon, as well as a walk through the Avenue of the Dead. The recognition of this site as one of the most important cultural places is quite universal, since 1987 it is one of the listed World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.

Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe
Have yourself one of the most beautiful experiences by visiting one of the most holy of shrines that is the most visited in the world. The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, with 17 to 20 million visitors a year, having more visitors that St. Peter´s Basilica in the Vatican. As well as the historical buildings, the great circular basilica is awesome as well as grandiose. The construction itself is an amazing feat, since it was built on the muddy shores of the lake of Texcoco. Walking around Tepeyac Hill, where Mary the mother of Jesus left her image imprinted on St. Juan Diego´s ayate is an experience that should not be missed.

Excellent family friendly private tour!
Rafael our tour guide was excellent! Pick up time was on time, even a few minutes early. Car was comfortable with air conditioning for our party of 4. He was very kind, informative, gave us great knowledge and spoke English very well. We were very happy with the tour and would definitely recommend Rafael and book again with Hector's company in the future!

A wonderful trip
The trip was great. We learned a lot about the history of Mexico. The driver/tour guide was very professional and knowledgeable.

Worth a long, detailed visit
What an experience! The place is huge and packs so much history, one gets mesmerized. My biggest learning was - the pyramid of the sun, was probably the pyramid of the water, according to recent findings!! The pyramid of the moon was incredible and visiting the whole complex was an exceptional adventure. The palaces, the ruins and the paintings you can still see in some ruins, are worth the long walks and the excruciating heat. I do not recommend you take a tour, as its impossible to visit the complex well in a limited period. The largest tour offers 3 hours at the complex. Its certainly not enough!!

Wonderful experience for our family
Raul was a fantastic guide for us. We were on a family trip with kids, parents, and grandparents, and had a great time on the tour. Raul speaks very good English and was able to answer all our questions, not just about Teotihuacan, and the Guadalupe church, but also all our questions about Mexico City. We learned a lot! I highly recommend this tour.

Great half day tour
I highly recommend Hector as a fantastic tour guide! His extensive knowledge of the sites, combined with captivating stories about the origins of the sites, ensured that we had an amazing experience. He also took us to a Mexican restaurant with a small lunch time show. Additionally, his excellent driving skills added an extra layer of safety to our journey. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable tour.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pyramids of Teotihuacán and Basilica of Guadalupe: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Pyramids of Teotihuacán and Basilica of Guadalupe cost?
+
Prices start at $355 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 Pyramids of Teotihuacán and Basilica of Guadalupe take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Pyramids of Teotihuacán and Basilica of Guadalupe worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 32 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 Pyramids of Teotihuacán and Basilica of Guadalupe?
+
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 Pyramids of Teotihuacán and Basilica of Guadalupe suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pyramids of Teotihuacán and Basilica of Guadalupe?
+
Around 11 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pyramids of Teotihuacán and Basilica of Guadalupe 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.
