What the Teotihuacan and Xochimilco tour covers
The teotihuacan and xochimilco tour on this page is a private day of 10 hours with one vehicle, one certified guide and a stop list you agree in advance. The operator's list runs: a Mexico City city tour, the Pyramids of Teotihuacan, the National Museum of Anthropology, Xochimilco, the basilica, Coyoacan and the castle. How many of those fit depends on traffic and the weather, and the listing describes three places in one day as the realistic figure.
Teotihuacan sits far enough north of the city that the operator recommends a 7 a.m. start. That matters at the other end of the day, because there is no lighting on the canals and boats generally run from about 8:00 to 17:00 even though the docks stay open later. Go at 7 a.m. and put the two hours of trajinera time before 15:00 rather than after.
Entrances are described in two different ways in the same listing. The description says entrances to Teotihuacan are included, with an entrance to a second museum or 50% off the Xochimilco entrance, while each stop note says entrances are paid by travellers. Confirm which applies to your date on the booking page. Transport and the guide are covered for the whole ten hours; tips are not.
Meeting and pickup are arranged in Polanco, the historic centre, Roma, Condesa, Coyoacan, Colonia del Valle and some points in the north of the city. An airport pickup adds $20 and overtime beyond the ten hours is $30. The operator states it makes no stops at tourist shops or restaurants, so the food round on the list is a stop you choose rather than a commission break. Prices start from 3,500 pesos per person, and the rating stands at 4.9 ★ (46 reviews).
