Fascinating Tour w/ Javier! - We had such a fun and educational time on this tour with Javier! We were running about 15 mins late and he was gracious enough to wait for us for a late start. He patiently explored all of the sites and explained all of the stops including so much interesting current day tidbits. We loved talking to him about the Mexican people and food! Highly recommend.

Wonderful Walking Tour of Mexico City - I recently took a historical walking tour of Mexico City at Zócalo Square and the surrounding area. My guide, Luis, was excellent. He taught me so much about the history of Mexico and about the architecture of the city. It was truly a joy to walk the city with him as I was a solo female traveler. I'm so appreciative of Luis for sharing his knowledge and spending the morning with me!

Chapultepec Walking tour: Great! - Santiago was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us at our own pace, answered any questions, and made sure to check in to see if we needed water or bathroom breaks. I loved hearing about the various bits of history as we walked around that I would not have know. Thank you Santiago and Estacion Mexico!

Get some real insight into Mexico City’s history - Marco was a brilliant guide to take us around the historic old town. He was extremely accommodating in letting us go at our own pace. Very knowledgeable and gave great information we would probably not have learned otherwise. He also gave us some extra tourist tips at the end of the tour.

Informative and enjoyable walking tour. - David was a great guide for a couple of hours walking around the San Angel and UNAM area. Provided excellent background to Mexican history and stopped at some places I would have missed alone or would have walked by without any idea of the significance.
Very nice to have a private tour, but sorry for him that other participants cancelled at last minute - would be nice if people did not exploit the fact that there is no financial commitment in advance - the guides still commit their time.
