Amazing tour of deep Mexico!

Published on Dec, 2024

A fantastic tour and tour guide! We loved Pablo and the whole experience. Tried various food, met interesting people and had quite an adventure!

Fantastic Experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

Pablo was our tour guide. He is so knowledgeable about the history of Mexico. My 13 year old son said he learned more in 5 hours than at school over the past two years. Pablo was patient with us, we walked slow sometimes and helped us to learn some Spanish. I highly recommend the Deep Mexico tour and make sure to request Pablo as your guide. You will NOT be disappointed!!

Excellent Guide!

Excelent tour! The highlight of my trip to Mexico! Couldn't think of a better way to be introduce to Mexico City. My favorite thing was the mole tasting and the Micheladas...

Hiking into the Deep

Published on Sep, 2024

Put on your hiking shoes! I could never have toured La Sonora and La Merced by myself. My tour guide Pablo shared the history of the markets and the context of the public art and architecture throughout the Centro Historico. Definitely an adventure not to be missed!
