Additional Information

I understand that foreign people are afraid to visit the poor area of Mexico City. It is true that there are very dangerous areas and they are not pretty to see.
I would like foreigners to open their minds and venture out of areas like Polanco, Roma or Reforma.
We will take the transportation that normal Mexicans use on a daily basis. Upon arriving at…

Brilliant tour with an excellent local guide who always had my safety in mind. - I had an unforgettable tour with José, who truly made the experience exceptional. His deep knowledge of CDMX, especially this area, was remarkable, and I felt entirely at ease with him looking out for my safety. The views from the cable car are extraordinary! José’s warm and friendly nature made every moment enjoyable, and I can’t recommend him highly enough as a guide. This tour will stay with me for a long time!

Different perspective on Mexico City - Great tour, gives a totally different point of view from Mexico City. Jose was sharing what life is on the not touristic part of the city. The su way part was totally fine, we had a cable car for the group. We ended up in a typical Mexican restaurant where we discuss more of the Mexican way of life. To do, if you want to see something else.

Great experience - Our group was small, only three of us. Our guide, Luis was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about Iztapalapa. He explained the town and gave us an insight on how it works. Luis even took us to eat after and the food was amazing! Definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Best Tour of Mexico - If you’re in Mexico City and have not done this tour then you have not seen Mexico City at all. Our tour guide Luis was so good. He took us on the train and the cable cars each time filling us in on where we were. He spoke very good English & Spanish and made sure we were safe through out the whole tour. He was very informative very polite and I felt very safe with him through out our tour. We really enjoyed our day and would highly recommend it. Experience something off the beaten path.

Amazing - Luis was such a fabulous guide. So understated, super friendly and very knowledgeable. His insights are essential to making the metro/cable car experience valuable. Seeing a part of the city we simply wouldn’t have visited without him. Worth every penny of the cost and so glad we did it

Wonderful trip! - José was an incredible tour guide and we absolutely loved the tour to Itzapalapa on the cable car. It was a beautiful ride through the neighborhood and José was insightful about the area and we learned a lot. I would highly recommend this tour just to get out of your comfort zone (it’s completely safe!) and see another side of the city. Thank you so much José!!!

A different side of CDMX - This experience will take you to places in CDMX most tourists never see and know little about. Jose does a wonderful job of guiding through a relatively new form of public transit (Cablebus) and narrating the realities of a large portion of the city. It is both educational and enjoyable.

A Tour Beyond the Usual - Jose was a wonderful guide to a part of Mexico City most tourists never see and never knew existed on a wonderful new mode of public transit (Cablebus - a massive gondola system). The tour was educational and the views awe inspiring. Very enjoyable.
