Our English speaking tour... - Our English speaking tour guide Rodrigo was wonderful, full of knowledge and friendly. It was a very intimate experience. It felt like we were out with a friend who had extensive information about the places we visited. At several points on the tour I saw people who were there alone and I thought, I’m glad we are here with a tour guide or we wouldn’t know the stories behind the paintings or the buildings we were in. Jack and I both recommend using Viator and if possible getting Rodrigo as your guide.

Tuor around the center of Mexico City - It is a incridible tuor around the city center, you will be able to look to many things, like museuns, “plazas”, beautiful streets, restaurants… it worth the price, you will walk a lot, but this makes you know better the city center!

Excellent tour of... - Excellent tour of historic Centro with Rodrigo! It ended up just being my friend and me so it was basically a private tour. Rodrigo shared so much history with us and places I hadn’t even heard of. He knows the city so well and gave us great recommendations for food. Highly recommend Rodrigo and this tour to understand Mexico City!

Polished and Impactful Tour by Rodrigo ! - First of all Rodrigo was an amazing tour guide. His excellent english clearly explained the journey and adventures of Mexico and its peoples. Mixed with humour and impactful details, I went away wanting to learn more. The length of the tour was perfect as an overview to the key historic sites. I thank you again for your guidance today and wish you well. Your demeanour and engagement with your clients is second to none. Vivre le Mexico! Be well. Richard Mark from Toronto Canada!

Highly Recommend! - Rodrigo was an exceptional guide for our tour of the historic center of CDMX! His knowledge is vast and he’s a wonderful storyteller! He was patient when we were lost in finding the meeting place and in answering ALL our questions. We never felt rushed. We learned so much about the history of the landmark buildings throughout the center. The icing on the cake were the stops for delicious treats at one of the oldest, largest and busiest bakeries and an amazing food stand that has been in operation for over 30 years. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and highly recommend Rodrigo as your guide!

Excellent time - Super Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Small group size, so you focus on what you’re interested in. Starts at the Famous moral by Diego Rivera and gives you a lot of context for the tour.
