Great Family Tour - This tour was a perfect introduction to the city center. Outer tour guide Gabriel was great. He was very informative throughout the tour. He was able to tailor our experience to our teenage children.

Best tour guide ever!! - Mexico City was amazing! The buildings, cathedrals, palaces and museums were magnificent and learning about the history of them was definitely icing on the cake! Cuauhtemoc was nonetheless, the best guide ever! I was able to soak in the city’s rich history and it was because of him and his decades of knowledge that I learned about the importance of them! Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Cuauhtemoc as your guide!

Fantastic!!! - Arturo was a knowledgeable, funny, and incredibly personal tour guide. He created a highly personalized walking tour for us, and was so informative and entertaining that some passerbys on the street even tried to join in on the tour.
As an added bonus, he took us through the anthropology museum (a great stop!) and explained the stories and history behind some of the most incredible pieces. Cannot recommend him highly enough!
