Fantastic history lesson - The tour gave us a great perspective of Mexican and Mayan history. Carlos was an exceptionally knowledgeable host. There is a lot of walking outside in the sun so ensure you are well protected.

A Great Half-Day Tour - We had a great walking tour and hit several of the key landmarks, followed by a tour of the museum of anthropology. Our guide, Jorge, was very knowledgeable and his passion for history definitely showed. He took us to see some neat places including the Museo de Sitio and the oldest candy store in Mexico City that definitely made the trip. His knowledge of the exhibits at the Museum of Anthropology was extremely helpful. Our driver, Lalo, did a great job with pickups and drop off and the van was clean and well stock with water.

A highly recommended experience to fulfill your curiosity of Mexican history - We were left with a full, detailed and complete understanding of Mexican history and culture. Our day started with a minor shift to our pickup location and the agency was very accommodating to the last minute request. Ramon is an absolute gem of a tour guide! If we had a question, he had an answer. He has incredible story telling skills and my kids were able to absorb and retain so much from this tour. My wife and I were left in awe just by the absolute sheer knowledge he had of everything. Aside from his knowledge, he's a great person. He even took the time to enjoy ice cream with the kids and take our photos at prime locations. We highly recommend this tour and highly suggest Ramon if he's available .You will not be disappointed. Gracias Ramon!

Great city tour in Mexico City. - We really enjoyed the Anthropology Museum and the Chapultepec Castle. And of course the Cathedral was stunning. Our tour guide Arthur was very knowledgeable and took time to show us highlights that brought out the interesting character of these sites. We had a variety of ages from grandparents to teens, and he kept it interesting and at a good pace for us all.

Book if you're a historian; if not, pass - The booking and communication was probably the worst I've ever witnessed during my international travels. I tentatively booked this experience two weeks prior and asked the contact if i could make one change with the itinerary. They said it could be possible but never confirmed details around the updated plan. After pinging multiple times, there was no clear answer. It got to the point where it was 24 hours prior to the travel and my credit card was paid. Yet, still no confirmation. I had to escalate and I finally got ahold of someone via text. It was then, they told me what I wanted was not possible. WOW. I already told them at the beginning, if it was not possible, I would not go through with this experience. Then, unlike my other 4 personal driver tours in the past, the driver never contacted me and I was left that morning wondering how I was going to know when the driver would arrive. Finally, someone came up to me at the lobby and introduced themselves. The guide was very nice and very knowledgeable. However, he was almost too academic and even though I told him I didn't need that much information, he didn't adjust our schedule. It was like he was stuck with his routine. It was very odd. To top it off, when it was time for lunch, he asked if he could join me. I didn't mind. However, he proceeded to order 2 drinks, a dish, and take multiple pieces of pastries. Did he assume I was going to pay for the whole meal? To be fair, I wasn't sure if the pastries were complimentary or for a fee. After I was finished with my meal, he asked if he could finish my plate and proceeded to take my plate and utensils. He used my utensils and proceed to finish my plate to the last morsel. Once again, the whole thing was very odd.
