Meaningful and fun! - Had a great private tour with Joss, who was friendly and so knowledgeable about all the Mexico City history and culture. Was a great addition to a 36 hours trip in CDMX!

Gleanings of Magnificence of Mexico City - Tour is recommended for anyone who wishes to know the history of the city and people of Mexico in a nutshell.
Daniel is a great guide. He explained the background and significance of the palaces as we toured the block ending at the Cathedral. He is knowledgeable at the same time helpful in accomodating to our needs as elderly and first time visitors of the city.
Tour was free and easy and happy to experience a stopover at the House of Tiles to enjoy the magnificence of the architecture.

unforgettable Mexico City tour - Victor was just fantastic! His expertise was unparalleled. He surpasses standards to learn about the locations he showed me, and it is obvious that he is passionate about them.
I had a great experience on this walking tour. I was overwhelmed from the amazing sights I was taking in, but Victor graciously and calmly told me he needed to show me something first and gave me the background information on the locations, buildings, artwork, and even the cuisine.
Victor was able to show me all of the gorgeous and magnificent things there were to see in a really engaging, fun and thorough way.
Thank you, Victor…continue being fervent about showing us your lovely city.

Did not enjoy this tour :( - Our tour guide was not good. It started with him not showing up at the meeting point that was originally assigned. After waiting for him for 10 minutes, he messaged saying original meeting point was not accessible and asked us to meet him somewhere else. That was clearly not true as we were at the original meeting spot and it was completely accessible. After refusing to meet at the different spot, he finally showed up at the original spot.
He never introduced himself and didnt bother to know us or our names. He struggled to keep the tour engaged and interesting. He also had a very thick accent and some speech issues which made it very difficult to understand what he was saying. Overall, we did not enjoy the tour and couldn't wait for it to end.
