A disapointment
lubnaa482, October 2026
I booked for breakfast at caves followed by a guided tour to the pyramids, we found ourselvez on a different trip without notification, it was longer starting with taquila tasting which we did not choose as we do not drink, the lady doing the demonstration made fun of us for not drinking which I thought was rude, it also made the trip longer so our toure guide lesliy kindly arranged for us to go back with a different group who were very accommodating, but it meant we had to cut short our visit to the pyramids and skip the restorant as we had other commitments in the afternoon.
I complained to the agency but recieved no repley. This was very disappointing as we have planned this trip for a long time.
However I do need to thank our guide lesly for her help and also making the pyramids come to life, I would also thank Angel and josefina who were the guides for the other group for acomidating us on the trip back

tkdadrian, October 2026
Incredible experience! Must book. Laura and Angel took such good care of us, and Jesus was a very safe driver. Laura and Angel were so knowledgeable about the pyramids. They checked in with us often to make sure we were all comfortable and having a good time. I will definitely do this tour again next time im back.
