A Must-Do Walking Tour of Mexico City - This Mexico City walking tour with Ross was exceptional! She was easy to find and incredibly knowledgeable, leading us from the stunning Palacio de Bellas Artes to the Benito Juarez monument. We learned about the Mirador Torre Latino and saw the Palacio Postal and the unique House of Tiles.
Even with the Museo del Templo Mayor closed, Ross provided fascinating context. The immense Zocalo and the majestic Metropolitan Cathedral were highlights. Walking down the vibrant, pedestrian-only Madera street offered a fantastic taste of city life.
The tour was perfectly paced, with minimal stairs, making it accessible. Ross's passion and insights made this a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended for a fantastic introduction to Mexico City!

A truly Historic Walking Tour! - Our Guía, Cuauhtémoc, was a truly amazing guide. He took us on a unique adventure through the historic district. We loved every step! His incredible knowledge and stories of the past allowed us to gain a broader perspective of Mexico City. Because of him, we intend to go back to the historic district and spend even more time there. Mexico City is quickly becoming one of our favorite destinations!

Our favorite guide of the trip! - Joss gave an excellent tour. She was insightful and candid, and her background as a historian meant that she could answer all of our questions. The tour involved a lot of standing, and I was grateful I packed a snack, but it was one of our favorite parts of our trip. I only wish we had booked Joss for our tour of the anthropology museum, instead of the other company we went with.
