Viator VIP: Early Morning Teotihuacan Pyramids Tour with an Archeologist Including Breakfast in the Sky

Experience Teotihuacan like a VIP on this unforgettable tour that combines early morning access to the UNESCO World Heritage site with a breakfast to remember perched high above the pyramids! With an expert archaeologist, you’ll arrive at the ancient city right as the gates open, allowing you to tour Teotihuacan's pyramids privately without the usual crowds. The excitement starts before your tour, however, with a breakfast of regional Mexican dishes, which you’ll enjoy on an open-air dining platform hanging from a crane 150 feet (45 meters) in the air. Don’t miss this exclusive Viator experience in the 'City of the Gods'!

Your VIP Teotihuacan experience begins with pickup by private minivan from your Mexico City hotel, followed by an approximate 1.5-hour drive to the archaeological site. When you arrive, the unforgettable moments start immediately as you board the covered, open-air dining platform, which will rise off the ground by crane, taking you to a thrilling 150 feet in the air!

Strapped securely into your seat, one of several positioned around a table seating a small group of diners, enjoy the amazing aerial views of the Teotihuacan pyramids stretching below you as you rise. When you reach your resting position, you’ll be served your breakfast of regional Mexican cuisine.

After an hour in the air, head back to the ground to begin your 3-hour private tour of the Teotihuacan complex with an archaeologist as your guide. Enter the grounds as soon as the gates open, allowing you to explore the site — one of the most visited in Mexico — in the early morning stillness, without the crowds. An expert in the prehistory of the Mesoamerican era, your guide will provide anecdotes about Teotihuacan as you walk around.

See plazas and intricate murals, and admire both famous structures like the Palace of Quetzalpapalot and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, as well as lesser-known monuments your guide will show you. Hear about the archaeological significance of the pyramids, listen to stories about the civilization that once inhabited the ancient city, and learn about the latest discoveries.

The highlight for many visitors is climbing up the steep steps to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon, Teotihuacan’s main pyramids. From the summit, look down the lengthy Avenue of the Dead, the 1-mile-long (2.5 km) road that divides the city.

When your tour ends, re-board your private minivan for the drive back to Mexico City — an approximate 2-hour ride, depending on traffic conditions.
