Uncover Teotihuacan identity from ancient times to their modern way of living and cousine, today. Spending time with a local teotihuacan family will give you a wider perception regarding the modern tortilla (homemade taco) and edible cactus that have remained over 2 thousand years in everyday local food. Besides that, you experience a real middle class mexican house.
Other very unique feature in this activity is the visit to the unknown modern art studio in the archeological site where Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo spent long time doing research on pre hispanic muralism techniques. For instance, cochinilla colors.
Your guide is either an archeologist, historian or specialized guide well experienced doing this tour - activities.

Miguel was fantastic! We booked him from a recommendation of a friend for half day pyramids tour and home cooked meal. Miguel picked us up at the hotel in CDMX and was very knowledgeable about the ruins. We learned a lot and also had a comfortable car with A/C and water bottles. Miguel is friendly, fun and shared so much history. He also offered lots of advice for the rest of our trip in CDMX too - clearly loves his home town and sharing it with visitors! We had a delicious home cooked meal from Paulette and Erica - they were so generous with their food and hospitality. The chicken mole, guacamole, quesadillas, and dessert were all amazing. I would highly recommend Miguel and this tour to anyone looking for an authentic experience.

What an incredible day we had during our private tour at Teotihuacan. Miguel did an excellent job to explain historic context, including detail behind where the ancient city came from, and how its legacy lives on today in Mexico City.
This is Miguel's academic field of study, so the tour was more informative than I imagine a basic tourist experience would provide.
Highlights included the DELICIOUS meal inside the home of a local family, as well as a rare glimpse at some of Diego Rivera's work/studio nearby.
Thank you so much Miguel!!

We had a marvelous day with Miguel as our guide on his Teotihuacan Experience tour!
Not only is his historical knowledge of the Teotihuacan area deep and impressive, but he provided very special cultural experiences throughout the day—all peppered with fascinating tidbits of information we would have never learned on our own.
Miguel filled our tour with unique surprises. First, it was highlighting the magically colorful homes and sky trams of Ecatepec on our drive to Teotihuacan. Then he brought us to the Artesanias El Quetzal for an education on agave, obsidian, and tequilas by area artisans. And best was Miguel’s arrangement of a fabulously delicious authentic homemade lunch with a lovely family who opened their home to us in the charming town of San Juan Teotihuacan—complete with pulque fresh from the local source. All of these experiences were forever memorable!
As we toured the Teotihuacan Pyramids, Miguel was extremely knowledgeable, shared many obscure facts—and even humorously quizzed us. His guidance revealed the inspiring mysteries of this ancient site and we left filled with awe!
Though we didn’t have time to visit Diego Rivera’s Teotihuacan home due to our flight schedule, Miguel made it a point to talk about things we might have learned—including the secret to Diego’s red paint.
Miguel is very friendly, kind, and fun, and we ended as fast-friends. He will always be our go-to tour guide when we visit Mexico City and we highly recommend his Teotihuacan Experience tour!

Miguel was a fantastic guide. We spent two days with him learning about the history, culture and of course food of Mexico. Our first day was spent learning about Coayacan and visiting the Frida Kahlo museum. The second day we went to Titiohuacan where we saw the pyramids and ate an incredible meal at the home of Erica. It was a wonderful and delicious experience.

This was a well-planned and fantastic experience. I was concerned we would not have enough time at the Teotihuacán archeological site, but the expertise of our guide proved me wrong. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the peoples of Mexico, as well as the excavation history of the site itself. His van is comfortable and air conditioned. The lunch was fabulous as well. There were vegetarian options, and the guide did a great job explaining the different offerings. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It's a great way to see the pyramids and to support the local community.

Our guide, Miguel was very knowledgeable (Masters in history) about the pyramids and the history surrounding the ancient cultures of Mexico. The tour included pick up and drop off as well as lunch at a local family’s house.
The food was ok and there was plenty if you wanted seconds. The ladies were very kind and I am 100% supportive of this kind of tourism.
I would rather support a local family than a mediocre restaurant where they’re paying a kickback to a guide for the business and they don’t really care about the tourists and only see dollar signs. You could tell that the ladies cooked with love and care.
Miguel was also flexible in the drop off. Rather than taking me back to the pickup spot, which is a 30 minute walk from my apartment, he dropped me off at a metro station, which made my trip home very short.
Thanks Miguel!
