My wife and I did the sightseeing tour with Lando and it did not disappoint! We happened to be here during the Festival of the Virgin of Guadalupe and he showed us around and spent plenty of time explaining the significance of everything to us. He was so knowledgeable about all of the places we went and made it easy to understand all about the city and its history. We can’t recommend FV and especially Lando enough!
This was the highlight of our Mexico vacation. The entire ForeverVacation team took great care of us from the moment we booked until our guide, Maria took us on our tour. It was a great experience and one our family will remember forever. Definitely a must in Mexico! We got some great photos that our family will cherish for years to come.
A fabulous private walking tour of historic Mexico City. Marisol, my tour guide literally brought the city and architecture alive. Her depth of knowledge was incredible, I learned so much. I would highly recommend Forever Tours, they were very easy to work with even with booking last minute. Please ask for Marisol, she was charming, considerate and an excellent tour guide. Her English is perfect.
My friends and I had an amazing time on the private, all inclusive Mexico City Instagram Tour with Forever Vacation in January 2025. The tour took us to the most iconic and photogenic spots, with plenty of time to capture stunning pictures. Our guide was fantastic friendly, knowledgeable, and great at helping us find the best angles. The itinerary was well planned, covering must-see landmarks while also allowing us to explore hidden gems. Plus, everything was taken care of, from comfortable transportation to a delicious local meal. If you love photography and want a stress-free way to see Mexico City’s best spots, this tour is perfect. Highly recommended!
Lando and the excursion company were amazing. They were in contact with my husband and I before our trip and answered our questions on a timely friendly manner. Lando is very charismatic, punctual and full of knowledge. He’s very hands-on and a wicked awesome photographer. No need to bring your camera Lando uses his phone and creates the most memorable picture of which he shares with you at the end of the excursion. He is very flexible and accommodating. Our Instagram has never looked better thanks to his good eye for photos. This tour is perfect for couples who are celebrating anniversary, nuptials or just want the opportunity for an intimate tour of Mexico. It was great not being at the mercy of a large group. The food that was included in the tour was super yummy.
Wonderful private tour! My guide Silvia did a great job tailoring to my personal interests, making it a one of a kind experience. She took a lot of pictures for me, helped me find delicious local food and drinks, made great recommendations for my following activities, and we chatted on all kinds of topics. Of course, that’s on top of her knowledgeable introduction to the city, history and culture. The tour was a lot of fun and a great overview for the city attractions. Having a local tour guide really makes a difference by brining depth and authenticity to the experience. Highly recommend!
It was such a great tour! Everything went smoothly and the team had helped us out so much with all of our questions. We loved how they were very detailed with everything even what we are interested in while visiting this tour. I’ve never seen any tour companies done that before. It was very touched when they did it. We can tell that they are not the company that only care about making money but they really care about their guests and how to satisfied their guests. This was our first time in Mexico but the team and our guide Julio made it so easy and actually made it feel like home. Highly recommend!!
Absolutely loved this tour we booked last minute and it was more than we expected. Our guide Julio was fun and friendly. We got a ton of great photos alk g the way. Highly recommend!
