"Mariel was an excellent guide. We had a great time, learned a lot, and got everything we hoped out of the tour and more. I would highly recommend her to anyone else"
"I contacted Luz and asked her to set up a custom tour for me. I wanted to find some handmade jewelry to bring home for gifts. She took me through the artisan market and helped me find every last item on my list.
We then took a stroll to try an amazing Gordita and finished off with a lovely walk through the historic central area of Mexico City.
She’s knowledgeable about the area, had interesting facts about everything we saw and went out of her way to make me feel welcome and comfortable, which is no small feat.
She even walked me to a good spot to catch an Uber and waited with me until I was picked up. I felt looked after from start to finish.
It was a great time and a lovely cap on what was already amazing trip. Highly recommended. Great guide, better person. Thank you!"
"We loved our tour with Mariel. It was a perfect first day activity to help us orient ourselves and understand this awesome city. Mariel was willing to answer all our questions that went from simple to complex and provided a very thoughtful response. "

Al is phenomenal
"Al is an outstanding tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and he ensures that the walking tour is both engaging and fun. He knows both the standard locations and unique and fascinating spots. His tours are not to be missed - absolutely top notch. "
"We had hoped to see the Frida Kahlo museum but couldn’t get tickets, but went to Cuoycan anyway and had very enjoyable tour with Al. It’s only about 25-30 mins from the city but it’s much slower, relaxed pace. We walked all along cobble stone streets to see some of the beautiful old homes, stopped in a watercolor painting museum, saw the town square and got some ice cream and churros. It was really nice way to spend our last day, highly recommend Al. "
"We had a great time with Daniel on a walking food tour exploring neighborhood places. This was our first evening in Mexico City so it helped orient us to the different areas, too. Street side quesadillas, yes crickets(!), spicy candy, tacos, churros it was hard to keep up and you’ll be stuffed afterwards. Really enjoyed learning more about some history as well as the food scene in Mexico City. "
"Had a really good time on Mariel’s tour. She was really knowledgeable about the history of Mexico and took us to some delicious and authentic taco stands. Highly recommend"
