David was the first tour guide we signed up with during our visit to Mexico City, and he set a new standard for what a proper guide should be. He was punctual and provided clear instructions about our itinerary for the day and how we should prepare.

During the tour, we delved into the history of Teotihuacan from a professional and educational perspective. David had prepared Q&As, shared fun facts, and even provided a VR headset to illustrate the original landscapes.

If your goal is to fully immerse yourself in the Teotihuacan experience, this is the tour to opt for. David was kind, thoughtful, and engaging, and I highly recommend his tour.

David is truly a geek's dream come true! Friendly, engaging, and supremely enthusiastic. My wife and I would catch glimpses of other tours and it only solidified our opinion that we "won." Insight and inside info from a legitimate professional doing his grad work in archaeology - you will see and hear about things that no other tour will touch on. Ours was beyond comprehensive and he didn't balk at taking extra time because we were asking so many questions.

David (Pakalito) was the kindest, most knowledgeable, thoughtful guide for our day at Teotihuacan. His knowledge about the history of the site (as well as several other archeological sites across the world) is incredible. He took us to some less trafficked areas around the site and gave us an understanding of the interaction between the ancient historical sites and the modern community surrounding the area. It was easily the best guided tour I have ever done, and we will absolutely be reaching out to book other guided experiences with him next time we’re in CDMX. Thanks Pakalito!

The experience with David was wonderful. We went on a tour in the historic center and another day to Teotihuacan. Not only he have extensive knowledge in archaeology and history, but he also makes the experience truly unique, full of special details and added a lot of value that would be unlikely to be found in any other tour. Additionally, he is an excellent person who makes the interaction very pleasant, like another friend in the group. I highly recommend him, always.

We are usually not big fans of going on tours or experiences, but we ended up getting this tour with David after a lot of comparison, and it was one of the best decisions of our trip. David has both years of training and a lot of expertise as an archaeologist and a guide. His presence and sharing gave us an in-depth understanding of Teotihuacan and pre-Aztecan time in Mesoamérica, which we enjoyed a lot. (He also prepared booklets and VR experience which definitely added a lot to the sight) And we loved that his perspective on the excavations through recent history added more layers to the site, so we knew where all the guessing around Teotihuacan originated from.

A big plus of the experience was the fact that we happened to be able to enjoy a private tour with him, so we had plenty of time with him and we didn’t feel rushed or glossed over at all. It was also fairly easy to get in touch with him about arranging transportation from CDMX to the site with reasonable price. He is also very generous about sharing his knowledge on virtually everything about Mexican culture, ie food, districts, …

For anyone who is tempted, go with this trip! Just remember to bring a strong sunscreen and hat for sun protection!

Over a week we went on four separate tours around different Mesoamerican sites and sadly, the other three tours did not compare to our first tour with David. The tour at Teotihuacan was informative, down to Earth and when we stepped away from the main avenue site to view one of the nearby palaces, it really put the sheer size and importance of this site into perspective.

David has an excitement being here that can't be replicated by non experts. He can graciously answer any questions you may have about what is known at this site, the surrounding region and the other Pre Colombian peoples of Mesoamerica.

The contrast in knowledge you overhear from other guides at the site, in comparison to David's explanations of the structures, people and ancient culture of Teotihuacan is striking. Everyone on our tour (some of whom had been on past visits to Teotihuacan) were captivated and engaged the entire time with David. I'm happy that this was the highlight of our trip as this was the most worthwhile guided tour you can experience.

The experience with David was 360º. Not only does he show great passion for knowledge, he is also very pleasant to spend time with. He conveyed to us his love for science and historical heritage. He continues to innovate with 3D glasses to offer the best experience, always at the forefront. I wish you the best of luck in everything you undertake, you are one of the best!

I have been on many guided tours to other places in Mexico and Guatemala but David hands down was the best tour guide I had. Why? Because David was clearly passionate about the history, enjoyed the sites, had an incredible fund of knowledge and was humorous with the way he explained things.

He took us to smaller areas off the beaten path and even showed us some of the other archeological work he had been doing.

I cannot recommend David enough!

What an incredible morning spent with the very knowledgeable David. A very special experience learning about this site from someone, with not just knowledge, but passion and love for this site too. We could never have learnt or understood the importance and history of this site without an educated guide like David. He also added moments of fun and humour. It’s a long morning but the time certainly flew. Don’t hesitate! Book a tour into the amazing history of this site with David and learn what current archeologists are thinking about this site!
