Fer was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the region! We learned so much and saw several cool spots that helped us decide our itinerary for later in the trip. Highly recommended for one of your first days in the city to help get your bearings in the centro and learn about Spanish, French, and prehispanic history of CDMX.

This is by far the best guide and tour. The guide was so good in explaining all the details and took the time for everything.
We had a wonderful tour with Ernesto. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He provided a great tour of the area and included some lesser known tidbits and spots that we appreciated. Highly recommend.
Extremely knowledgeable guide. A lot fun despite the police were setting up barricades for the October 2d March.
Jesus was very informative and engaging. We enjoyed it very much.
We took this private tour on our first day in Mexico City, and it turned out to be a really good way to start our visit. Arturo was knowledgeable and very easy to spend time with, and the tour gave us useful historical and cultural background that helped us understand the city better afterwards. What we especially appreciated was that Arturo wasn’t rigid about the itinerary. The tour actually lasted longer than originally planned, and he also took us to a few places and showed us things that weren’t part of the original plan. It felt much more personal than simply following a fixed route. Very interesting experience and a great introduction to Mexico City.
It is was a wonderful tour. Our guide, Ricardo, was knowledgeable and gave us an informative and entertaining tour. It was for 2 hours. We chose a short tour because of our flight but it was worth every minute.
Informative. Friendly. It was nice. Informative. Funny. Really enjoyed the Tour Guide. He was a very funny knew the city very well and all the little ins and outs that run Mexico City. I would highly recommend her.
Our tour guide, Alex, was excellent. He took us to many hidden gems in the centro historico of Mexico City. He was attentive to our preferences and provided excellent insider information everywhere we went. He really gave a great foundation on which to build our time in Mexico. Highly reccommend this tour and this guide.
Aris was an amazing tour guide that was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions!! This was such a good way to explore the city
Fernando, our tour guide, was incredible! I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a concise but thorough overview of historic Mexico City. It was the perfect length—long enough to get a great introduction to the city’s history without feeling overwhelming or requiring too much walking. This was especially important for us since we had older parents with us, and the pace was perfect. We learned so much and had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mexico City!
Ricardo was very friendly, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable throughout our walking tour. He shared a great deal of interesting history and context along the way, which made the experience much more meaningful than simply walking through the city on our own. He was also happy to answer questions and clearly knows the area very well. We really enjoyed spending the time with him and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about Mexico City while exploring it on foot.
Good fun. Our guide was on time, easy going, good understanding of history. Comfortable logistics, made breaks to accommodate need for coffee and restrooms.
Daniel was very good - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and some really good points of interest. I’d def recommend this tour for all ages
Alejandro was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I’d definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about Mexico City.
Excellent private tour with Ismael! It was a great way to explore Centro Histórico. Ismael was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about Mexico City’s history. It felt like walking around the city with a local who genuinely enjoys sharing it with visitors. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a more personal experience than a large group tour.
such a great time exploring mexico city
Fantastic Experience. Arturo was extremely knowledgeable and was very forthcoming in sharing his experiences with us.
Ricardo was informative, answer questions not just on Historical events, current events. He really help to understand the culture of the people. We walked away with a better understanding of Mexico, its people, and traditions.
Jocelyn was an amazing tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about history of the city throughout different time periods. She was very attentive and provided us with in-depth overview of the city. Will definitely recommend going with them.
Arturo is extremely knowledgeable. Great guide. Highly recommend
Enthusiastic. Knowledgeable. Friendly. English not perfect (yet) but perfectly understandable. Gave a very good intro to the city. We were very comfortable doing our own thing after her tour.
Excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and engaging! Enjoyed every minute of this incredible activity.
Maurizio was a fantastic tour guide. He was very familiar with the buildings to see in the Historic District and knew all of the interesting history
Aaron was excellent and highly knowledgeable! We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with him! Would 100% select this tour again.
This tour provides a fascinating mix of history, architecture and culture. My guide was very kind and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend this tour
Diana is top notch. Very well spoken and knowledgeable.
Our guide was friendly and we had a great experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the central area in short amount of time.
Our walking tour was the perfect first experience to get us acclimated to the city. It was a great overview of the Zocalo. Aris was very knowledgeable and thorough. I enjoyed the sites and the history and took note of where I wanted to explore further.
This was a great introduction to the Centro. We did this on our first day in the city. I'd highly recommend this, as it made the rest of our trip more enjoyable as we understood where things were and what we might want to return to and do other days.
We did a private 2 hour tour of the main sites of Mexico City. Our tour guide Ari was amazing and he was so kind and helpful. Very generous and made us feel very comfortable and safe. Super knowledgeable as well.
Aris was an amazing guide! She shared so much history and information about the history of Mexico City and I greatly enjoyed this. She was passionate, communicative, and answered all my many questions. This was an amazing experience to learn more at an easygoing pace. The team was also helpful for coordinating day-of logistics. I would recommend her greatly! Thank you so much!
This was a great way to start off my trip in Mexico City. Fer was an excellent host. It was easy to meet him and we covered a lot of ground. He had great knowledge about the city, history, and the important landmarks and sites we visited. I also appreciated the recommendations about food, etc in the area. This tour helped me customize the rest of my trip and know what sites to prioritize visiting.
Very much enjoyed the on-on-one experience I had with my guide, Daniel. He was very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable.
Fun tour. A little loud at times on the busy street so sometimes difficult to hear our guide. Nice history lesson of Mexico City!
We had Ari for our private walking tour in CDMX. It was great! We met at Palacio del Bellas Artes and stopped near the Zócalo. Since we booked on a Sunday we were able to stop into a bunch of museums for free just for a look at the architecture. Ari was very knowledgeable and kept my two kids entertained the whole time! Would definitely recommend as there is much to see in terms of architecture and history!
Arturo was a great guide — knowledgeable, friendly, with a sense of humor, and very responsive to our interests. Definitely recommend!
Wonderful experience with very detailed explanations of key sites and history. Highly recommend to all visitors of Mexico City
We greatly enjoyed our tour of the center of Mexico City with Carolina, who is extremely knowledgable. The tour focuses on history, which is exactly what we were looking for. We interrupted Carolina with questions frequently as we went, and she answered cheerfully and expertly.
Our guide was very knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. Highly recommend the guide. We had a good overview of the historical centre and found the commentary interesting. We did not feel rushed or overwhelmed. Our only suggestion is that the tour company should not offer this tour on a holiday. Some of the locations were closed, and this was disappointing. However, we did return to visit these locations on our own the next day.
Brenda was a great guide who had knowledge in depth and took her time to explain all the places and help taking pictures and was in time for pick up . Great services. God bless her .
Galy was really nice and knowledgeable. We learned a lot- her tour was a great overview of the historic district to start our trip.
The guide was pleasant; his English was adequate. However, he did not offer any in depth information about the places we visited. The sites themselves were fascinating & I would have liked to know more. Also, his presentation was rather flat; I have had other guides since who were much more animated & interested in what they were doing. I had expected more from a private tour.
Aaron was excellent. Very knowledgeable and personable Highly recommend. Lots of architecture details and as a history graduate knew everything about Mexico
We had a wonderful 2 hours in the historic centro. Our guide Barbara was knowledgeable ,interesting and prepared. She was very personable and warm so in addition to telling us about the sites and history ,we got tips . on other things to do and places to eat.as well as pleasant conversation. The experience itself, with pedestrian streets jammed with people, music and noise , street art and fabulous buildings and architecture is unforgettable.
Though a bit rushed, it gave us a great overview of the area. A good starter if you plan to return on your own and explore more deeply.
Generally, positive. Friendly, engaging. A little hard to understand some times. Sometimes too noisy to hear. Fine for adm cost. Good length. Liked small group size.
We recommend this tour! It was informative and a good use of our time. Our tour guide, Arthur, was excellent. He is knowledgable and did a wonderful job explaining what we were seeing with a solid historical perspective. He also made good recommendations in terms of other attractions we should (or should not) see, as well as restaurants, which we appreciated.
Ismael was very patient with us slow walking seniors! He explained everything very well and we enjoyed our private tour. Would book again
Ricardo was an excellent and knowledgeable guide for our tour of the downtown. He really helped us better understand the history and importance of the sights we saw.
