Amazing perspectives on Mexico city - Absolutely loved this historical tour of Mexico City with award-winning author Francisco. It offered such a unique perspective on the city. Francisco took us through incredible courtyards and places I’m sure many locals have never seen—hidden courtyards, stunning art exhibitions, “the secret Diego,” and the amazing library with Vladý murals. We ended up asking to extend the tour—two hours will absolutely leave you wanting more. We should have booked four. Beyond the tour itself, Francisco shared countless suggestions on how to make the most of our time in Mexico City. We’ll definitely be taking him up on those and clearly need to come back. Feeling incredibly fortunate to have chosen this tour. Thank you!

Magical - We truly enjoyed the 4 hours we spent with Francisco. We felt like we were on a secret tour, experiencing parts of Mexico City that not everyone gets to see nor learn about. It was relaxing and stress-free. A perfect investment in time & $!

Our correspondence on What’s Ap prior to the tour was helpful and our meeting point was easy to find. During the tour we saw places we expected and other places we did not. That made the tour even better than we expected. He provided unique and thoughtful information for every aspect of the tour, and even included a great stop for tacos. After the tour he sent us recommendations for restaurants and other activities. Every aspect of this tour exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend it.

Lots of Walking, Learned a Lot - We went with the four hour option and Francisco was an excellent guide. Lots of walking, learned a lot. Mexico City is huge and it takes a while to get to everything. We would recommend the shorter options as the 4 hour was nearly 1:1 walking to talking.
