Comprehensive introduction to the historical center of Mexico City - This was a great way to start off my trip in Mexico City. Fer was an excellent host. It was easy to meet him and we covered a lot of ground. He had great knowledge about the city, history, and the important landmarks and sites we visited. I also appreciated the recommendations about food, etc in the area. This tour helped me customize the rest of my trip and know what sites to prioritize visiting.

Beautiful architecture and interesting history! - We had Ari for our private walking tour in CDMX. It was great! We met at Palacio del Bellas Artes and stopped near the Zócalo. Since we booked on a Sunday we were able to stop into a bunch of museums for free just for a look at the architecture. Ari was very knowledgeable and kept my two kids entertained the whole time! Would definitely recommend as there is much to see in terms of architecture and history!
