We had Arturo for a private tour and he was absolutely fantastic. We toured both the Basilica and pyramids and Arturo made sure the trip was tailored to our liking. He was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and great at photo ops. I can’t imagine touring the pyramids without him- imagine on all the important facts you’d miss out on!! Would highly recommend.
We had an amazing experience with Jésus exploring Teotihuacan. He was very knowledgeable and made our trip a lifelong memory. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. We also went to the Basilica de Guadalupe and learned so much more than we would have by ourselves.
Galy was an amazing tour guide and she was very graceful at making the most of the tour despite huge protests in the area. We learned a lot and went into places we wouldn't have thought to go on our own. Very good experience start to finish!
Our guide Cuauhtemoc was charming and informative. He really brought the historic city to life for us. We walked at a leisurely pace stopping frequently to discuss architecture and history. I highly recommend him as a guide.
This was a great tour of the Centro Historico with a very warm and knowledgeable guide, Ari. He showed us the area highlights and gave us a lot of historical and cultural information to help us better appreciate what we were seeing. He also gave us great recommendations for restaurants, markets, things to do. We highly recommend this tour and our wonderful guide. Muchas gracias, Ari!
The tour was above expectations. Me and my friends had a wonderful time. We saw a lot for 2 hours and our tour guide was wonderful. Very professional and knowledgeable.
Gabriel is knowledgeable and friendly. He showed us all the landmarks in Mexico centro and gave good tips about other museums and restaurants. It was a very pleasant tour.
Brenda was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! She shared so much history and information on Mexico City and I was quite impressed with how knowledgeable she was on a variety of different topics! We had a wonderful experience!
For a more immersive experience, we decided on a private tour of the historical center, and it proved to be an invaluable decision. Our guide, Ismael, a dedicated historian, transformed our walk into a fascinating journey through time. He didn't just point out buildings; he explained the stylistic evolution and symbolic language embedded within their walls. Ismael's insights went beyond dates and names; he helped us understand the broader historical context, connecting the architecture to the social, political, and economic forces that shaped the city. This tour wasn't just about seeing; it was about truly understanding. We left with a deeper understanding of history, a heightened appreciation for architecture, and a lasting memory of a truly enriching experience. Thank you, Ismael.
Everything was amazing!! Jesus was so informative, patient and detailed. We asked a lot of questions and he answered all of them so wonderfully. He even brought gifts for us. We learned SO much and we would recommend Jesus to anyone. Nuestro guía se llamaba Jesús y fue maravilloso. Nos explicaba en inglés y español y todo con mucha sinceridad y pasión. Se nota que le gusta la historia y cultura, y fue tan buena gente.
Ismael was so great. From the beginning we knew he was more than a tour guide, anthropology major. His knowledge of the city and history was vast. Would definitely use Ismael again.
What a fantastic tour! Victor was amazing! Super friendly, knowledgeable and went the extra mile throughout. He showed us hidden gems and explained the history behind them. Would definitely recommend the tour especially if you are looking for things off the beaten track. Thank you Victor!

We had limited time to explore Mexico City, but Joss turned what could have been a rushed experience into an absolutely magical one. Her exceptional planning, attention to detail, and genuine passion for the city made our walking tour an unforgettable highlight of our trip. Joss tailored the entire tour to fit our schedule, ensuring we could see all the major highlights and even some hidden gems that only a local expert would know. She crafted an itinerary that flowed seamlessly, maximizing every moment while keeping the pace enjoyable and relaxed. Much like her knowledge of the city’s rich history, culture, and architecture, Joss’s enthusiasm is contagious. She brought each site to life with captivating stories and insights, and her deep love for Mexico City was evident in every detail she shared. Whether it was uncovering the history of iconic landmarks or guiding us to the best spots for photos, she made us feel completely immersed in the city’s vibrant energy. Joss’s professionalism, kindness, and ability to connect with people made this tour even more special. She went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable and engaged, and her warm personality made us feel like we were exploring with a dear friend rather than a guide. If you’re visiting Mexico City, a walking tour with Joss is an absolute must. She has an incredible gift for making even a short amount of time unforgettable. Thank you, Joss, for showing us the heart and soul of this amazing city—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
I decided to book a last minute trip to Mexico City with my teenage son and though I generally explore cities on my own, I thought a guide may help build understanding of historical facts that would interest my son. In a matter of seconds, we were able to book tours and receive amazing service leading up to, during, and even, after our tours. It was a wonderful experience all around!
Victor was awesome and very knowledgeable. Enjoyed the tour, we learned a lot about the many places on the tour, and got access to cool parts of buildings that we would not have by ourselves. I would recommend it to others!
A very complete tour and adapted to what we wanted to see. Our guide Ophelia was lovely, gave us lots of information and pleasant explanations. I recommend it.
