We booked this tour and were super excited to visit Tula and Tepotzolan. The morning of, we waited 1 and 1/2 hours for pickup, with no one ever showing up. We tried to call the company, however, the numbers were non-functional. We contaced Viator and they could not get in touch with the tour company either. This is a scam tour............buyer beware. We eventually got our money back from Viator, but it was very disappointing to miss these two wonderful parts of Mexico.

This was a truly excellent trip. It was just my wife and I. The guide, Gabriel, was very competent (his timing of the visits and the drives was excellent, he knew exactly where he was going, he had his own itinerary around the sites that took in everything) and very knowledgeable -- knew a great deal about two very different periods (Classical and Postclassical for Tula, and then the Colonial period for the Jesuit monastery at Tepotzotlan), and knew a lot about a lot of different kinds of thing (political history, religion, flora and fauna, etc.). Political history and political art/architecture are my favorites, but a highpoint was when he showed that these insects (cochineals) that live on prickly pear trees produce a scarlet dye used in manuscript illuminations etc. Plus we have little Spanish, but his English was terrific. Great bang for the buck. More tourists should go to Tula -- maybe more memorable than Teotihuacan. Just brilliant.

Alfredo was an excellent, knowledgeable, and personable guide. He instinctively knew how to tailor the day to what we wanted to see, learn, and even eat. =] We were grateful we had the privilege of spending a day getting to know modern and historical Mexico through him!
