Worth it - Galy was a great guide! She was readily available to message on WhatsApp beforehand, and she was very flexible despite huge protests in the area where we did our tour. We saw and learned so much, and I felt very safe the entire time.

We had an excellent time... - We had an excellent time exploring Centro Historico with our tour guide, Ari! We started at Palacio de Bellas Artes which is such a beautiful building. Ari told us about interesting intricate details of its history. We made our way through town including the Palacio Postal, Casa de los Azulejos, Metropolitan Cathedral, National Palace, and so much more. Our guide was so friendly, informative and very passionate about Mexico’s history. During our visit there happened to be protests, but that did not stop our guide from giving us a full experience. Ari is the perfect tour guide. He really goes the extra mile to make sure his guests enjoy their tour. And he even had recommendations for other places to see and authentic restaurants to try to get a real taste of Mexico City. We not only had a fantastic tour, but felt like we made a new friend. Highly recommend this tour, and we hope to return again soon!

Best way to know old Mexico City - We had a very informative city tour with Yvan. Being a private tour we had a luxury of walking at our pace and taking ice cream break, Yvan was very friendly and helpful, he recommended few places for food.
