At the Parroquia del Purísimo Corazón de María, admire one of the first parishes in the city, built between 1922 and 1938. As a curious fact, this church was part of a movie in 1996 and the main actor was Leonardo DiCaprio. Can you guess which one?

Fabulous day with Luis - We had a great trip with Luis. He grew up in the neighbourhood and shared a lot of interesting information. He was very skilled maneuverimg the traffic and we felt very safe. The quesadillas were great and we learned a lot about the area and Mexican history. This was a highlight of our stay in Mexico City.

Amazing value - unique experience - great mix of biking, history, culture, and eating - Luis gave an amazing tour. He is a pro so you are in good hands if you are too, but we were two novice Americans who were well taken care of. He knows all the spots and is able to provide the local views and history. On top of growing up in the area, Luis was also apart of CDMX’s bike lane initiative. We ended the tour at his favorite authentic spots for quesadillas, churros, y cafe. It ended up be a private tour with our couple and him - what a great value. He was very careful about our safety and preferences. It is a unique way to see this area of CDMX

Fun on the Coyoacan tour! - Luis was super prepared and a great guide, ensuring our safety on the road at all times. For the entire route we were either on designated bike lanes or quiet neighborhood streets. Despite the rain we were able to make the best of the afternoon with full rain gear to keep us dry and warm. It was great to learn more about the Coyoacan neighborhood and see the most important sights (and also some spooky ones from old legends 😅). But for me, the absolute highlight was the stop for quesadillas at one of the markets. SO. GOOD.
I would definitely book a tour with them again! (The road bike tour to the pyramids is on my bucket list!)
