A must in Mexico City - This is one of the best tours I have ever been on. Ricardo knows the city really well, so we got to see hidden gems that a lot of people would never see on their own. This tour gave good historical context, showcased a lot of beauty, but also included hidden rooftops for pandemic views. It felt like we were able to do the touristy things but it never felt touristy. We felt like we had insider access. Ricardo was very knowledgeable and very passionate about his home.

Fabulous walking tour! - We just took Ricardo's walking tour. We loved it! Ricardo's love for this city is infectious. He pointed out and showed us things that we never would have noticed or found without a knowledgeable guide. He is a great communicator and made the history (and the present) of Mexico City very interesting and awesome. He also takes great pictures. Id say to anyone visiting (or even locals) you should do this tour. And, do it early in your trip because we left with a great many suggestions for things to do after our tour ended. Thanks Ricardo for such a memorable day!

Friendly guide, informed local, and photographer in one - Very informative! Ricardo takes his time to take you through the chapters of history that make it the city that you’re stepping through today. He explains how every building or site was founded, who built it, why it was built, and makes you notice things you may have otherwise missed. Highly recommend booking towards the beginning of your trip since he is also very good at giving you recommendations from a local’s perspective. He also knows all the spots to get the best photos!

The Ultimate Insider’s Tour of CDMX - What an amazing tour! Ricardo was the best guide we’ve ever had and his deep knowledge of and passion for Mexico and his culture made this tour all the more memorable! He took us to places that most tourists miss and gave us the ultimate CDMX insider’s view on some of the most important sites in the city. Ricardo is a super cool guy and he’s got a friend in us now!

Panoramic architecture and unique views - Ricardo was punctual, friendly, communicative and close, the tour of the historic center and places with privileged views, made us feel comfortable, we gave us history and cultural data. The walk was pleasant being a small group and being able to share in communion culminating with a sunset view of the rooftop city with a toast to culminate. Fully recommended!!!

Fantastic Historic Center Tour - What can I say about the day I had touring the fabulous historic district with Ricardo except that it was one of the best days I’ve had in my travels? Big statement, I know, but I stand by it. Ricardo’s passion for his city, its people history and art are so evident, and you can’t help but be swept up in it. He showed me “secret” spots for amazing views. He gave me insight into the what makes Mexico México. Our time together flew by. I would do a tour with Ricardo again in a heartbeat.
