Great introduction to Mexico City - There is such rich history and cultural context to Mexico City that I wouldn’t have known if not for this tour! Arturo was friendly, knowledgeable and funny. He also gave us a great lunch recommendation after the tour. I would definitely recommend it — a great way to see the city.

Great intro to Mexico history - Arturo was very knowledgeable about the area and took us to places we probably otherwise would have missed. Highlights included the Templo Mayor and the post office. Distance from start to end wasn’t long, and there were shady spots to sit and listen along the way. Great intro to Mexican history and see several key places.

Highly recommend - The tour is a great introduction to the historic centre of CDMX. Fer was an excellent tour guide, and shared her knowledge but also tips for travelers new to the city.

Great walking tour of Mexico City - The tour covered a lot of material and I learned a lot about the city and felt more oriented after. Arturo was a great guide - very personable, was quick to answer all of our questions, and gave us some food recommendations at the end. An ideal introduction to Mexico City, would certainly recommend.

Fantastic Way to Plunge in CDMX History - The walking tour with Tomas was great. He was knowledgeable and engaging and gave us a great overview of the City historic centre. The trip was conducted at a good pace and we explored many interesting sites. I called Kaktus customer support office to reschedule the trip and they were very helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this company and this particular tour.

Good overview of basics - City Center - Historic District - Informative tour of history of the city center, along with contextual history of Mexico City. Tour guide Michelle was knowledgeable and friendly. We walked areas around the Zocalo, cathedral, Palacio de Bellas Artes, etc. If you haven't been to CDMX before, and you'd like to get an overview, this could be an option for you to check out. Our group had the benefit of being small, only 5 people total.

No communication at all - Your cancelled due to a non believable excuse not recommended, they need to let people know in advance I guess they don’t care.
