Visit Cathedral Prasih/ Metropolitan and downtown - Emiliano was friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the Zocalo area. We had a good time and enjoyed a late lunch on top of the Gran hotel.

Downtown CDMX center walking tour - Very nice and informative tour. I was glad Mariel had a microphone and speaker so it was easy to hear her in the large group. Pace was a little slow because of the size of the group but I expected that when I booked a group tour. Overall it was money well spent.

Good start of our trip in Mexico - Our guide was very informative and explained well about the history of Mexico City. We liked it. However, as a non-native speaker of English, the guide spoke a bit too fast and sometimes it wasn’t easy to follow.
