Tour of Central CDMX - Ingrid was amazing. She gave us a great overview of the central city of CDMX. She was very knowledgeable about Mexican history and was great with my two boys (11/15). She answered our hundreds of questions and even gave us some great restaurant recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her. Ingrid, thank you for making our trip to Mexico City special!

Highly recommended tour! - My boyfriend and I did the six-hour Mexico City tour with Adriana and we were extremely happy with her work. She picked us up at our hotel and we took an Uber to the “Monument to the Revolution.” From there we walked together to the city center “Zocalo.” Along the way, we stopped at several landmarks and Adriana gave us the history of each landmark. Her knowledge is vast and incredible. I was blown away by the amount of knowledge she shared with us. She called herself a historian. It was true. She was not an average guide. Having a tour with Adriana was like walking around Mexico City with a historian who is passionate about the history of Mexico and will improve your knowledge and appreciation of the history and culture of Mexico. What a privilege it was to have her as our guide in Mexico City. Adriana was kind, respectful, knowledgeable and a joy to spend time with. I highly recommend her.

Exploring the Coyoacan Neighborhood - Our tour guide created a tour for our family (adults) in the Coyoacan neighborhood that included historical sights, information, a tour of the market and the chance to taste local food and drinks that we would never have discovered on our own. Her knowledge and friendly manner made our tour a highlight of our visit to Mexico City.

an exciting vibrant, European style city - Ernesto was so knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to be with for the afternoon on our tour of the neighborhoods in Mexico City. He understood the history of the neighborhoods as well as the architecture, which was a particular interest to us. He gave us such a rich flavor of Mexico City that it makes us want to come back again and again. He would absolutely be our guide of choice. Thank you, Ernesto.!

Ninelth's Quality Tour - Ninelth was a joy from the minute we met. She is a true guide and took time to plan a tour that was of great interest to my husband and I. She had a sound and thorough knowledge of the local history as well as the hidden gem spots that we visited. Her ability to tell stories tied to the various locations was both engaging and informative. Ninelth was extremely positive and filled with energy. It was evident that she loved her job. We would definitely tour with Ninelth again.
