Amazing tour with an incredible guide...can't recommend enough. - This was our first time using Withlocals and we went into it with high hopes...the experience far exceeded our expectations! Our family of four (including an 18-year old and a 12-year old) can be a tough crowd at times. We have very different interests and the idea of trudging around for nearly 3 hours can be daunting. I was half-expecting somebody in the family would be miserable and want to pull the plug early, but that's not what happened at all. From the moment we met Victor, he had all of us fully engaged. He's such a nice and personable guy, you can't help but like him. He is so incredibly knowledgeable. In addition to a the very detailed and standard tour stuff, he was able to answer all of the random questions we through his way. And the moment he happened to bring up anime, he had our kids eating out of the palm of his hand. Our kids don't typically get excited about museums, history, dates, etc. But Victor's approach was so interesting and entertaining, he kept them engaged the entire time...listening intently and asking questions. It was such a joy for us as parents to see them taking it all in and enjoying the experience. They got so much out of it, we all got so much out of it! I don't think we could get the same benefit any other way. The only downside was having to say goodbye to Victor again. Obviously, I can't recommend Victor and this tour strongly enough. Our experience with the Whitlocal platform was easy enough and we will definitely look to use it again every time we travel.

Fun, informative, and kind - Our guided tour was the perfect introduction to Mexico City. We chose to do it on our first full day post-arrival, and it grounded our experiences. I strongly recommend this experience!

Great experience with Mariel - Mariel provided a very interesting and personalized Centro Historico tour for us. She is well informed about Mexican history and culture, and she shared stories that gave us new insights into Mexico and Mexico's people. I highly recommend Mariel as a Mexico City tour guide.

N2 Delighted - We spent a wonderful afternoon with Victor. He presented a very knowledgeable overview of Mexican history, answered all our questions, and was excellent company. He was also very sensitive to our level of fatigue and chose wonderful and intriguing resting spots. Thank you Victor!

Excellent Historical center tour of CDMX with Hilary - Hilary was the perfect tour guide for our introduction to Mexico City. She is knowledgeable about all aspects of Mexican history and culture and she makes it all very approachable and most importantly of all….fun! The afternoon flew by. We recommend her very very highly.

Fantastic and informative experience with Mabel! - I booked the guided tour with Mabel with 6 girlfriends for our first trip to CDMX and we all loved the experience. Mabel is a true expert and has so much passion and information to share we felt like we learned SO much in a short period of time and got to see the things that spoke to us the most. Mabel also went above and beyond and helped us out with other recommendations to really make the most of our trip. She's wonderful! :)

A great way to see the HIstoric District - While I was regrettably ill for the tour myself (though I had been the one to book it), my wife and friends had nothing but good things to say about HIlary. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. The tour apparently covered both the big sights as well as a slew of 'hidden gems' that they would never have thought to see.

Great introduction to Mexico City! - Al gave us a great walking tour of Centro Historico, with lots of fascinating historical and cultural insights. It was just my wife and I on the tour, so we were able to go at our own pace and felt free to ask questions. He even guided us on the bus to direct us to one of his favourite restaurants, then provided directions for us to safely walk home. Oh, and he gave us a list of restaurants to check out. Definitely recommended!
