Totally EPIC! - My husband and I took this tour on our first day in Mexico City and it was the highlight of our trip. Ricardo was the best guide you could ask for. He’s professional, fun and genuinely passionate about the city and what he does. He took us not only to iconic places but also to hidden gems where we had amazing views of the city. Ricardo speaks perfect English and shares captivating history behind each building he took us to. My husband and I love history and architecture so this tour really hit the spot for us. Book this tour! You won’t regret it!

Wonderful experience - This is a wonderful experience. It’s our first time traveling in Mexico and our first day. Ricardo’s walking tour gave us a perfect introduction to the city, leading us to beautiful architectures and tasty tea shop. He also took excellent photos and showed us two brilliant rooftops for sightseeing. Really enjoyed the trip!

Hidden gems of Mexico City - Ricardo was amazing! Despite an unusually busy day, he kept us on course and his connections helped us bypass some long wait times. He is very knowledgeable about the area and took us to see some hidden gems. It never felt like we were with a tour guide. With Ricardo, it felt like we were sightseeing with friends. Personally, I appreciated how patient he was with my six-year-old and his little legs. Ricardo has a passion for the culture of Mexico City and it shows. I highly recommend this tour to begin your trip as it will lay the foundation for many of the sights you’ll see. It’s one you won’t want to miss!

Great value, educational, fascinating tour. - Ricardo was extremely knowledgeable and organized. The tour was the highlight of our week in CDMX. A couple of sites were closed, a disappointment out of Ricardo’s control. What we did see was amazing and Ricardo was very generous with his time.

Insightful and inspiring, a great experience of Centro CDMX - Such a great way to see the city. With so many hidden gems and insights about the history of the city. This tour gave me much more than I expected. It was packed with great views and interesting art. I would 100% do this again. Ricardo is amazing. His knowledge and passion of Mexico City is felt throughout the tour. I learnt so much and found new art inspiration. I did this tour with friends but it's great solo travelers and families too. Would 100% reccomend it!

Central historical - Ricardo is a wonderful host. He gave plenty of information about the individual sites, the tour was jammed packed with all the essential places in Central historical, he make sure to give you different perspectives of the city from the rooftops, to the mind, ancient artifacts, he is very patient and thinks of a lot of details. He even purchased a drink for us along the way, and it was a pleasure to end the day with the sunset after seeing so many different sites that are probably all on your YouTube search by now, it is definitely a must do. You’re gonna have a good time and you’ll be safe and you will walk a lot and get your 1500 steps so make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes, I would say also to bring some pesos for a little bit of shopping . That’s really interesting people that were extremely smart and had a lot of things which was also very nice and, just to see the city as it is with the real people in the real history even there was a protest that was also beautiful, please enjoy the simple book book multiple ones if you can he has some
