As an Australian I had an incredible experience - As an Australian visiting Mexico for the first time I really enjoyed the tour as there was a lot of valuable knowledge I learned about the city and its extensive history. Adriana was the best guide I could ask for and I had an overall really rich experience with lots of variety and sights. I would recommend it to any English speaking travellers looking for an authentic tour of the beautiful country!

Experience the Colours of Coyoacán with Adrianna! - Would highly recommend this tour for anyone. Adrianna is incredibly knowledgeable in the history of Coyoacán and speaks perfect English. I loved the energy of this tour and the passion that Adrianna brings. No prior interest in history or Mexico is needed. Adrianna can accommodate for all levels of interest and knowledge. Coyoacán is so beautiful!
