Our guide met my daughter and I in our hotel lobby promptly at 9am. The guide was pleasant and friendly and very knowledgeable about Teotihuacan. She had a binder with pictures and maps and these were very helpful to our understanding of the site. I did have some trouble understanding the guide's English as it was heavily accented. The day was hot, but wonderful. I highly recommend seeing this site and doing so with a guide. Only when we got back to the hotel, did my daughter and I realize that the guide forgot to take us to the museum located at Teotihuacan.After Teotihuacan, our guide and driver took us to where obsidian is made into figurines and where alcohol is made from agave. My daughter and I were handed off to a nice lady who told us all about the agave plant, all about obsidian, and all about weaving. She also let us sample the different alcohols made from the agave. She laughing said, she was getting us drunk so we would buy something from her store. Well, we did buy a few items from her store. The store sold jewelry, blankets, clothes, and alcohol. We don't regret our purchases.After this our tour guide offered to take us to dinner, but we declined as my daughter was getting tired. She had come down with a cold before we left on our trip.I highly recommend this trip with a private tour guide!
