Fun and interesting and ended at rooftop! - Very friendly guide who showed us all the highlights of the plaza and pyramids, and also the museum. Fun and interesting. We ended at a nice rooftop also. We definitely recommend if you want to learn more a bit about the area history and have a nice time.

Very informative and engaging. - Beatrice was very informative, engaging and fun! I learned a lot and was very impressed that the tour went ahead even though there was only me. It was great to go through the museum and so much better to have someone explain exactly what you are looking for and at. I would definitely recommend the tour. I certainly enjoyed the local ice cream at the end! Thank you!!

Great Historic Mexico City Experience - The tour of the Templor Mayer was excellent. It was Sunday when we went down Mexican citizens get in free, so it was super busy. Bia, our guide, was excellent and she. Thought the ruins to life for us. The tour of the cathedral can be done on your own. The guide was really not necessary.

Tour of Templo Mayor was interesting and educational - Lucy was an incredible guide. Great depth of knowledge on the ancient temple. She explained the ruins, the culture, the history and its con to modern day Mexico. Definitely worth the time and cost.

It was a new experience I could gain and learn a lot of new things from. - The guided tour in the historic center gives a new insight into Mexico's history and gives you a new perspective on the country and the city. I can especially recommend my guide with the service number 7924.

Scheduled on day museum closed - One small problem, no tour guide showed up. The museum was closed the day of our booking. Adding check museum website to my travel list.
