Knowledgeable, interesting tour. - We were a group of 5 friends and there was one other person on the tour. Fernando was very personable and gave a good description of where we would be going and what we would be seeing. The murals we saw were fantastic and we certainly saw things we wouldn’t have seen simply by taking the cable car ourselves. The taco we had was great and the pulqueria we finished the tour at was very friendly. Some of the locals even asked if they could take selfies with us.

This tour was one of the... - This tour was one of the best during my time in CDMX. Elizabeth is an AMAZING guide! She took our group to explore the metro and Itzapalapa and it was just so much fun and informative. She shared so much history and fun facts. The cable car ride was beautiful, seeing all the murals and learning more about the culture and peoples. I also got a chance to have my first nopalito (cactus meat taco) and it was pretty tasty! Absolutely take this tour; you will not regret it.

Great way to see the city in a new way - GO! - Fernando built this tour to show people a new side of the city he loves. He makes it fun to step a little outside the ‘usual’ places and get out to neighborhoods with regular people. He has a skill for building camaraderie in the group. He demystified the public transportation system such that we will feel comfortable in the future going beyond the usual places to explore. What a great way to get more comfortable in this city. We totally enjoyed the experience.

Great way to experience... - Great way to experience Mexico city...what makes this trip great is Fernando and Elizabeth.. their enthusiasm to share their city with people is really nice. The public transportation was nice at beginning of a city trip as it lays out how to use it and they explain all the different neighborhoods.

Awesome….take the tour!!! - This was the perfect way to start our Mexico City vacation / adventure. Fernando is truly an encyclopedia of knowledge. We learned so much about the city, its history, culture and people…..and how to get around the city and to other parts further out from central Mexico City. We have three boys, and Fernando kept them, and the rest of us engaged and curious for more. Book this trip / adventure with Fernando…you will be stoked and better prepared to experience all that Mexico City has to offer.

Cable Bus only 45 minutes in a 4+ hour tour - Our guide Fernando was knowledgeable and designed a good program. However, we only got to complete the cable bus route once with the rest of the trip in Metro. Great if we could spend more time on cable bus.
