Great walking tour for the Basics of central Ciudad Mexico. - We had a very good tour with Galy. She was very knowledgable about the area and provided much information. We appreciated how fast she went through everything in order to get us through as much of the area as she could in the short amount of time we had. The city is so large and has so much history that we wanted to see as much as we could. Walking tour was just perfect for what we wanted.

Private tour of Mexico City recommendation - I recently took a personally guided walking tour of Mexico City, and my guide, Galilea, and I focused on Chapultepec. She was very knowledgeable, pointing out monuments in the park and providing historical facts along the way. It's a beautiful park! The pace was relaxed and enjoyable. She was very welcoming and pleasant to be around. My tour was scheduled for the early afternoon, and the line for entry to the castle was already long, so I decided not to wait. I would recommend taking an earlier tour if you want to see the castle.

Pleasant and very knowledgeable guide. - Matilde is an excellent guide, she has a lot of knowledge, she is very pleasant, and she also brings you quite close to the culture of our country, which is so rich in culture and traditions. I really highly recommend taking this Tour because you learn a lot about Mexico and above all you realize the cultural richness of our nation.

Recommended Tour - The Tour was very worth it. We visited the main points of the center of Mexico City and had historical explanations, interesting facts and several tips for the remaining days.
The guide was very affectionate with us, attentive and very knowledgeable.

Guide Axel very attentive to foreigners - We took a tour of the center in a group of 8 people, of which 3 Brazilians and 5 Italians. Me and my husband were the only ones who spoke Spanish to do the translation, but the guide Axel was very attentive in keeping up with our pace and was very attentive to speaking slowly and well. In fact, our family was able to understand practically everything without translation.
The guide knows a lot about the history and culture. We all loved it!

Disappointing tour of MDX - Gabriel arrived promptly at 9 am and we asked him for a tour of Mexico City highlights. Our group consisted of both adults and preteens.
Gabriel’s English is fair and his explanations were many times lost in either his English or tendency to speak as he was walking away.
It would have been helpful if he’d laid out an itinerary for the tour or showed a map to explain where we were and where we were going. He did not. It would have been helpful if he’d attempted to engage our kids with age appropriate information -he did not.
Overall, a little disappointing given the reviews.

Nice tour guide, great food tips, mediocre history knowledge - We had a super-nice guide named Victor who directed us to a lot of great places we would not have known (Ideal bakery, several restaurants) but his knowledge of history and dates was somewhat lacking.
