Our guide Belen was so well informed about Mexican history and culture, and so very kind. She took is to many interesting places we are sure to return to. She also revealed some of her favorite places you would probably never know about otherwise. Recommend!

Interesting historical tour of beautiful Mexico city

Diego was an excellent tour guide! He was very friendly and knowledgeable about history of Mexico city! Loved the tour!

Far Exceeded Expectations!!

Published on May, 2024

By far the best tour I took during my time in Mexico City! Belen really knows her stuff and she's a great story teller. I learned so much more about Mexico City than I was expecting on this 2 hour tour. She also threw in some fun facts that related to the country I'm from so I was able to relate to the history more. She answered all our questions and was happy to let the group make stops / take pictures when we wanted to. It felt like the perfect pace and I was honestly sad when it was over. I can't believe this tour is tip-based!

100% worth it

Published on May, 2024
