Fantastic tour of CDMX
"Husband and I had a really fun time and really appreciate the amount of cool / historic facts Victor had to share with us. Victor took us to places we never would’ve known to go on our own and had so much knowledge about each one. 10/10 highly recommend "
"We had a very nice day with Nalleli. Nalleli is very knowledgeable about the history of Mexico and showed us many interesting locations we wouldn't have discovered on our own.
Beyond this, Nalleli is also just a very nice person and it felt more like spending a day together with a good friend. Thanks again for showing us around Mexico City."

Great overview! Laid back and flexible.
"Al was a fantastic guide. He was very flexible and provided us with great insight and tips. Don't hesitate to book with Al. Thank you!"
"Daniel was excellent! He chose great places to eat and see. All the food was delicious and he had a lot of interesting things to share about each place. I would highly recommend him and I would book with him again. 10/10!"
"Mabel is so personable, we could have spent all day with her. We took our 3-hour tour of the historic part of Mexico City with Mabel on the last morning of our stay in Mexico City...our only regret is not doing the tour earlier in our trip so we could explore more of the places that Mabel recommended. She was very flexible and really easy to communicate with prior to the tour. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for a tour guide. She filled us in on all of the details of the history of Mexico City, picking right up where our guide (the day before) at the Anthropology Museum had left off when the Spanish came to Mexico. Mabel was able to weave the whole history of Mexico into the buildings on the tour, which made our visit to El Centro more meaningful than we would have ever been able to do ourselves. She had answers to all of our questions, and recommendations for everything we wanted to know. She is a true local! Thank you, Mabel!"
"Nalleli is such a warm and generous guide - She adjusted our tour to reflect our interests in history, art, and culture and told us histories and interesting tidbits as she showed us around the Historical Center. She connects personally and it is clear that she cares to create a memorable experience for her clients. We had a wonderful day with her and highly recommend her "
