A Wonderful Inside Look at Mexico City. - Ninelth was an excellent host and guide. Her expert knowledge of the history of Mexico City, the Mexican culture, and of the city’s hidden gems made her a great guide for our family. She offered a clear understanding of the history, blended in modern context, then showed us where to grab a great authentic bite to eat. The follow up in Coyacán showed a whole other side the region. We’d highly recommend the tour and her.

Our private tour in Mexico City’s downtown was worth it! - Our private tour of Mexico City’s downtown history was worth it. Our guide Marisol trained as an architect gave us so much insight into the history of Mexico and Mexico City’s downtown area. We enjoyed seeing the Cathedral and the ruins before enjoying a lunch and then seeing many murals of Diego Rivera. My husband and I would definitely recommend this amazing tour with Marisol.

CDMX with Lando is the best! - I had everything I wanted during the personal guided tour with Lando. I enjoyed learning about the history behind the landmarks we visited. Lando brought the past to life with his insights of history, geography and topography. I took this tour prior to the Anthropology museum & pyramid tours. Lando taught me so much that I could see in pieces at the museum and pyramids the stories he taught me. Lando was so easy to learn from and his explanations and stories are easy to follow. Above all else, following the 3 hour tour, Lando looked after my wellbeing when my route home was cut off by a protest. He stayed with me another 45mins and let me tether his internet so I could uber back to my hotel; He could be a professor at a university and he was right there guiding me around CDMX and ensuring my safety. I was solo and he took so many great photos of me around CDMX that my friends and family greatly appreciated viewing. Lando is the very best guide I could have asked for!

Wonderful learning experience about history and architecture of Mexico City - We had an incredible experience with our guide during our half-day tour of Mexico City. His deep knowledge of the city’s history and architecture truly brought the sights to life. From the intricate details of the colonial buildings to the rich stories behind ancient landmarks, he painted a vivid picture of Mexico City's past. He was also incredibly patient, answering all our questions with enthusiasm. We left the tour with a newfound appreciation for the city’s cultural heritage and architectural splendor. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and passionate guide about history and architecture, we highly recommend him!

Excellent, personalized experience. - The tour was perfect. It was just my teen, the tour guide, and me. We got a personalized experience that went at the right pace and allowed us to see and learn things we would never have seen or learned on our own. The tour guide Marisol spoke excellent English, was friendly, and well informed.

Great Historic Tour - I had the guided tour with Ninelth. She was a history and English teacher before so very knowable person and good at communication. We had the walking tour around the Constitution Plaza area, and she explained the full history from Aztecs to Spanish colony time, conflicts with Frenchs to mural art movement and modern days. We also hopped local chocolate drink shop, tried street food. Very impressive trip!
