"Daniel was incredible, he spent a good time showing us around centro and we ate to our tummy full, we particularly enjoyed the gourmet market, trying unique salsas and spicier, we tried everything at least once and we ended with delicious al pastor tacos, would highly recommend his tour "
"We had an amazing tour! Laos was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to connect with. He made the experience feel personal, sharing not just the history and facts but also local insights that made everything come alive. The tour was well-paced, informative without feeling overwhelming, and full of fascinating details we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. To finish, he brought us to a great authentic food spot for tacos and a beer! Overall, it was a fantastic way to explore the city, and we’re so glad we had such a great guide to lead the way. Highly recommend!"

A perfect Ture guide !
"Silvia was the perfect guide, so knowledgeable and such pleasant company, really helped us understand the history of Mexico City better. Thanks Silvia "
"Mariel was an excellent guide. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind and personable, and knew the area intimately. We felt that we had a much better appreciation for the history, art, architecture and culture after our tour of the Centro Historico with her."
"I had a great tour with Laos in Mexico City. He customized the experience based on my interests, and since it was a religious day, most museums were closed — but he made the most of it by focusing on churches, landmarks, and, of course, tacos. His background in art really came through, and he was incredibly patient and knowledgeable throughout. I had asked to include some food stops, and he definitely delivered — taking me to a few local spots I never would’ve found on my own. Felt more like exploring the city with a friend than a guide. Highly recommend!"
"We had such a great time with Daniel and tried so much great food. Good talks and good food - what more could you want?🤩"
