Great way to start your Mexico City trip! - It was our first time visiting Mexico and I came across this walking tour recommendation in a blog. I am so glad that we started our Mexico City trip with this tour!! Our guide Netza was very knowledgable and provided a good background and context while exploring the Centro Historico. He has a very engaging style of narration and ties up past and present of Mexico City beautifully. I highly recommend this walking tour with Netza for anyone visiting Mexico City for the first time.

Out of the ordinary stroll through Mexican history and culture - On our stroll between the Zocalo and Almeda Central our friendly woman guide gave us a nice overview of Mexican history and culture, from Aztec to current time, via stops at places we likely would've overlooked otherwise.

Worth every cent. - A lot of walking. But if you never been to CDMX worth every cent. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient with all of us. Young man with a Spanish accent sorry I forgot his name.

Good intro to Mexico City - Nat was our tour guide and she was great! Lots of fun facts along the way. We covered a lot of ground, but she kept us moving. Note that the walking tours don't really go inside any of the buildings.

Interesting historical walking tour with few photo ops - Oscar was knowledgeable and passionate about Mexican history and culture. He brought an iPad to share photos and facts. The tour itself was more focused on hearing about history rather than seeing sights, and had few opportunities for photos and entry into buildings. Recommend for someone looking to learn more about the history of Mexico City.
