Zona Arqueologica Tlatelolco
Currently, the ruins of the Plaza de las Tres Culturas correspond to the ceremonial precinct of Tlatelolco, which bears similarities to Tenochtitlan, both in logic and in the objective: to form a city where the market and trade were the main activity.
30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Traveler Tips
This tour is worth it for those wanting a personalized pace to your tour.
I would skip the artisan area as it is too long unless you have unlimited time.
The tour may seem more expensive than other however I would not hesitate to reccomend this tour to anyone, it was well worth it.

Our guide Arturo was great. Very informative experience. Loved all our stops especially the pyramids and artisans.
Must do tour!
Jenna_M, Mar 2023
Where to begin? Veronica was AMAZING and our driver, Victor, was so kind and drove thoughtfully through some pretty heavy traffic. Veronica not only knew her history-she was a solid storyteller and engaged my tweens and teens. We loved her sense of humor and took us to a few historical sites I hadn’t seen before. We didn’t feel rushed at all, she took really good pictures, but we also stayed on scheduled. My family has left the tour with a deeper appreciation of Mexican history—which is saying something as I’m a history teacher and my kids have attended a Spanish bilingual school with an emphasis on history. Oh and she also gave us more tips with visiting the city that have proved really helpful. I highly highly recommend this tour as its foundational to understand the Mexican psyche and roots of its rich cultural traditions. Oh and Veronica is funny—-did I mention that?
Great trip.

Fascinating day of history
Karen_M, Feb 2023
Ramon was a wealth of knowledge and we loved our journey out to the pyramids. I’ve wanted to see them since I was a child, so this was the one thing I was looking forward to. We also visited the Basilica which is important to our family and can’t thank him enough for taking care of me and my parents. Thank you!
Bad lunch
Rustin_C, Feb 2023
I loved our tour guide but hated the weird stop for lunch. The food was not very good or interesting and then we had to sit through sales pitch to try to get us to buy over priced obsidian. I'm sure the tour company gets a kick back for bringing people there. Not a fan Tour guide and driver were great though.
Fabulous
Richard_A, Jan 2023
Tour was fantastic. Bruno was our guide and he shared so many insights on top of the incredible knowledge. He was very nice and had a good sense of humor.
Rosemary was great
Vidyal_P, Jan 2023
It was a private tour with family. Rosemary was our guide. She was very passionate about the history and knowledgeable. Did not rush us. We had kids and she took care of us throughout the tour.
