Ramon was an amazing tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and fun. My family had a wonderful time trekking around Tula and Tepotzotlan. We learned about the history and culture of the Toltecs and the Spanish Conquest in great detail. It was our best tour! Thank you! Christian was also an excellent driver.

We scheduled our tour of Tula on day 2 of our trip to Mexico City. We had the place to ourselves and got great pictures. Our guide, Brenda, educated us from the moment she and Elecio picked us up. It was convenient that we already knew them from day 1 and they are both reliable and kind. Brenda is simply amazing. This site is not the most excavated but what has been revealed is incredible. Tepotzotian is a nice town and the museum is quite interesting, I can definitely say the guide made everything come together. Be mindful no drinks or gum chewing in the museum.

Both the Tula and Tepotzotlan trips were excellent. Brenda was the tour guide and Pedro was the driver. Brenda showed us some of the local markets. The food there was great. This trip give a good feel for Mexico and local life as well as the historical sights.

We engaged a private tour to Tula and Tepotzotlan, which was guided by Arturo Ramirez, with a driver, Pedro. Arturo was very knowledgeable and entertaining, and pointed out things at Tula that we never would have noticed or appreciated had we tried to do the trip on our own. Stopped along the way for Pasties at a roadside stand (brought to Mexico by Cornish miners and not unlike the UK version, except with chilis!) which were excellent. Tepotzotlan was a lovely town with good restaurants for a nice change of pace after the ruins. Pedro navigated everything expertly and was always where he was supposed to be when he was supposed to be there. Highly recommended for an excursion from Mexico City!

An outstanding day tour of the Tula site and the Iglesias de San Francisco at Tepotzotlan. Our guide and driver were both superb - courteous, knowledgeable and professional. I recommend this tour without reservation.

We chose this tour specifically because we wanted to see one of the less-visited archeological sites. This trip seemed ideal because it combined prehispanic ruins with a visit to a Spanish colonial religious site. This tour didn't disappoint! Our tour guide Brenda was an amazing information source - I've never had a tour guide that was able to distill literally centuries of history into such easily understandable explanations. It was like having our own personal history professor to lead us around the sites. Our driver Arturo was incredibly professional and made our trip so enjoyable and easy. Both of them made our tour a great experience. I will absolutely go with this tour company again (and probably ask for Brenda and Arturo).

Both david and louis of Mexico freelance tour are very professional. They made our tour very pleasant and enjoyable. They are both very knowledgeable, attentive to details and impressed us as very caring and helpful! It is voted by our group of four friends as the most enjoyable tour among the five tours that we booked in Mexico City! The sites that we visited amazed us!

If you are considering this tour, like me, you must be interested in Mesoamerican history. Teotihuacan was amazing, the Museo del Templo Mayor was well worth the visit, and the National Museum of Anthropology was world class, but I was interested in seeing some of the lesser known or traveled sites. Tula did not disappoint. This Toltec site is over 2000 years old, it is truly ancient. It rose to prominence between 900 and 1150 AD sometime after the demise of the Teotihuacan civilization and before the ascent of the Aztecs. It is believed that the Toltec's heavily influenced the Aztecs, especially through their feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl, who is very much linked to Tula. In fact, the main attraction at Tula is the Pyramid of Quetzalcoatla with its 16 foot tall monoliths or Atlantean columns. Standing next to these ancient monuments is truly an experience, one that I am grateful that I had the opportunity to have. I highly recommend the tour if you are at all interested in Mesoamerican history. I booked a private tour through Mexico Tour Freelance for my girlfriend and myself as well as another couple and their 20 something daughter, so there was five of us total. We were picked up in our hotel lobby a little before 9 AM by our guide Alejandra. She was awesome, very knowledgeable,and able to answer all our questions. Our driver was Luis who was friendly and very competent at his job. He drove us to the site in a comfortable van, and even though the trip to Tula was over an hour, the time was more than occupied with conversation amongst ourselves and Alejandra, our guide. After arriving at Tula, we toured a small museum and then went on to the site itself, which required about a 15 minute walk. The site is amazing. As mentioned earlier the Pyramid of Quetzalcoatla with its Atlantean columns is the main attraction, but there is also a second pyramid and two ball courts as well as other ruins to view. For those interested in picking up a souvenir, there is a section of the path leading to the site lined with at least a dozen open air stands selling all kinds stuff. I picked up a 12-14 inch replica of one of the Atlantean columns and and my girlfriend bought a tshirt. If you buy a souvenir, don't be afraid to barter with the merchants, they will always lower their price some if you barter with them. In total, we spent more than two hours at the site before going on to Tepotzotlan for lunch and the rest of the tour. Unfortunately, the Jesuit convent was closed to the public the day we arrived, so instead we spent an enjoyable hour or so browsing the outdoor market in the main square. I did not mind at all, Tula was what I really wanted to see. After we had our fill of the market, we were driven back to our hotel arriving sometime around 4 PM. Visiting Tula was truly amazing and definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Mexico.

A fabulous private tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide The Aztec and pre-Aztec ruins are fascinating. The cathedral at Tepotzotlan is beautiful in its ornateness even though the religious aspect did not interest me. Still well worth the visit.

Have always wanted to see these sites but there are no large, group tours. Decided to splurge on a private car. A little pricey but well worth it! Our guide Carlos and driver Anna were exceptional. Carlos extremely knowledgeable of archaeology, history, and culture. Anna the best and most patient driver I have ever experienced! I kept telling my husband to take lessons from her! These two sites are awesome and should not be missed! This tour takes all day so be prepared to return late. Water provided, take a hat!

Out driver Louis was very professional, had a very nice vehicle and knew best routing. Our Guide David Suverza was very knowledgeable, easy to understans, responsive and adaptable to our needs and tailored our tour to our desired experience. Tula is a different Temple experience from other Temples and is well worth the drive to it. Additionally David added info and pointed out points of interest on the way. Would recommend this tour and Guides to all.

We had an awesome time visiting the Toltec ruins at Tula and the Museum of the Viceroyalty in Tepotzotlan. The Toltecs were the successors to the Teotihuacan culture, and the predecessors to the Aztecs. If you are into Mesoamerican history, Tula is a must-visit location. If you are interested in the history of the colonial period, Tepotzotlan is a must. The Jesuit college/monastery, now the Museum of the Viceroyalty has an amazing collection and the Baroque church is stunning. You have a choice of places to eat and we selected Los Virreyes and we were not disappointed. The tourista menu has some great choices and includes dessert and fantastic café del olla. Our driver, Luis was safe and courteous. Our guide was Alejandra and she was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this trip.

The tour was great! Both sites are highly recommended to visit. Our tour guide David was the great, with outstanding knowledge in Mexican history and culture. Everything was in time. David was ready to customize the tour according to our interests. He even missed his lunch helping us with sightseeing :. We will definitely book other tours with David.

This tour started out on point and above expectations from the minute we exited our hotel. We were greeted immediately by David, our tour guide and introduced to Vicky, our driver. Both were warm and friendly and made our experience wonderful from start to finish! David is exceptionally knowledgeable! His passion for the history of the details within this tour shows throughout and makes the experience that much better. We started the drive to Tula and were taught facts and history of the places we passed. Vicky is a wonderful driver. If you have ever taken a cab in Mexico City, you might have experienced some craziness! NOT with Vicky. Not once even in the craziest parts did I ever feel anything but relaxed. I wish she gave lessons... I'd have my husband take one!! Lol! Once we arrived, David gives another perfect presentation of the facts and history. We then set off to Tepotzotlan, where again David delivered a presentation that was informative and easily understood. THESE TWO SITE ARE A MUST SEE! After, we enjoyed a delicious lunch and Vicky joined us. It was like having lunch with family or dear friends. So, in the end, I recommend this tour. And I HIGHLY recommend booking it with David and Vicky!
