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…

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.

An awesome experience - An amazing and very knowledgeable tour. The views from the cable car are so beautiful and the culture and people of Mexico are fantastic. My two daughters (13 and 14) enjoyed the tour and we all got along with Jose very well. We even had lunch with him afterwards and I tried some delicious pozole! Definitely check this tour out.

Wonderful afternoon - This little-known experience in Mexico City was one of the highlights of our trip. We were planning to do the cablebus on our own, but I’m so glad we did the tour as some parts would have been difficult for us to navigate on our own. Luis was a knowledgeable, caring guide. He made sure we were safe and taken care of the whole time, while also teaching us about the history and people of the area. The views cannot be beat, but beyond that, it was great to get out of the tourist areas and see how real people live in Mexico City. You also get a real sense of the expanse of the city. Highly recommend this tour!

Definitely a worthwhile experience! - Our tour with Jose Luis was a highlight of our trip to Mexico City. This experience provided us with a view into life in Mexico City for millions of people. Jose Luis met us at the exact time and location described. He was knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. We felt safe every step of the way. Jose Luis’ commitment to providing visibility into Mexican culture and the Mexican people is inspiring. We are so glad we took this tour!

Highly recommended - It is definitely an unforgettable journey. Luis took us to the south part and we had a long ride with the cable car. During the journey, we discussed a lot about different aspects of Mexico. For sure worth to give a try.

Great Experience - It’s a unique experience for sure. Get to see the less flashy side of CDMX and life of millions Mexican people. It was also pretty safe that you were staying in the cable car the whole time.
