Historical Walking Tour with Andrés - We had the pleasure of having Andrés be our tour guide and he has an educational background in Mexico's history and he provided us with fascinating history at the Palacio de Bella Artes. He also walks to the downtown area and gave us the background on the historical buildings and ruins in town. Very good tour guide if you are interested in Mexico's history.

Historic Center of Mexico City Tour - Excellent visit with our guide Diana. She had communicated with us via WhatsApp before, symphatic. Adapted well to our needs. Very clear explanations. We were even able to visit an exhibition by the painter Corravubias, a beautiful discovery. We finished at Café Azulejos where having a drink and a bite is worth it, nice atmosphere at a very reasonable price. Very recommendable.

Knowledgeable guide and good itinerary - Ivan is a very knowledgeable guide with a depth of knowledge of history and the sights. He made a real effort to take us through all the highlights of this itinerary (including the murals at the Palacio de Bellas Artes). He was flexible (including when it started raining and we had to hop into a cafe to continue the conversation). I would recommend this tour.

Love the Murals - Highly recommend Eduardo as a guide for this amazing tour. He taught us so much and we covered a lot of ground from the well known to more hidden gems. So glad we selected this tour that included the murals. What a wonderful way to experience the history of CDMX through art.

History class - The tour was more standing in the middle of the plaza listening to a history class than walking and seeing the place. My wife told the guide that she wanted to walk and see, and I told him that I have a problem in one of my knees and either have to walk or seat He didn’t listen and we didn’t have any option than dismissing the guide after 2 hours of tour.
