3. **Teotihuacan Mexico Tour** (pass by, no stop) - Welcome to Teotihuacan We’ll arrive around 8:00 a.m., before most tourists. The site is calm and perfect for photos. Take a moment to soak in the view — you’ve made it before the rush.
4. **Teotihuacan Mexico Tour** (2h 30m; admission included) - Exploring Teotihuacan Your expert guide will walk you through the pyramids, sharing stories, legends, and key facts in a casual, engaging way.
