Review
Jerry and Fernando were both great. Jerry was very knowledgeable and friendly and we enjoyed our tour a lot. The drive there and back with Fernando was quick and safe.

The best tour!
Experience 100% recommended!! The tour is very well organized, with early access, good explanations from the guide and well-used time. The ascent of Cerro Tepozteco and the views from the pyramid are spectacular. But best of all is the good atmosphere that generates the Mexican Tales team, make you feel very comfortable from the first momemto and enjoy the experience to the fullest. I definitely stay with Mexican Tales for upcoming tours!

For those only know about Egypt pyramids.
I had wonderful time with Ric and Noah. Total price was reasonable, all included with guide, drive, admission fee and water. It took about 6 hours including drive. All of us was 11 people, however, there are too many tourists in the place. Hope you to visit early as possible. I liked and learned a lot from there.

Great Excursion!
This excursion was very interesting and fun. Our guide Richard, was extremely knowledgeable. Climbing the ruins gave us an awesome view. I totally recommend!

Great day excursion from CDMX!
We had an excellent day hiking and exploring Tepotzlan with Ara! The hike up to the temple is an invigorating start to the day and the views are breathtaking from the top. We did some shopping and exploring the town before heading back, so there really was something for everyone. Tacos and ice cream, both recommended by our guide, made for the perfect post-hike lunch. Our driver was excellent and got us back to CDMX quickly even in weekend traffic. Not to be missed!

Tepoztlán Half-Day Escape: Hike the Tepozteco, Enjoy a Magic Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Tepoztlán Half-Day Escape: Hike the Tepozteco, Enjoy a Magic Town 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 Tepoztlán Half-Day Escape: Hike the Tepozteco, Enjoy a Magic Town take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Tepoztlán Half-Day Escape: Hike the Tepozteco, Enjoy a Magic Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Tepoztlán Half-Day Escape: Hike the Tepozteco, Enjoy a Magic Town?
+
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 Tepoztlán Half-Day Escape: Hike the Tepozteco, Enjoy a Magic Town suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Tepoztlán Half-Day Escape: Hike the Tepozteco, Enjoy a Magic Town?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tepoztlán Half-Day Escape: Hike the Tepozteco, Enjoy a Magic Town 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.
