Tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. She has a very clear voice and kept a good pace throughout. Great job!
Jesus was a wonderful gyude! Very knowledgeable and great food recommendations! Highly recommend his tour!
We had a great walking tour with Laura as our guide. She was super knowledgeable, covered a ton of information and we got to see quite a lot.
Excellent tour, a must do especially for first time visit. Our guide is very knowledgeable, we learned so much about Mexico City, its history and culture. The length and pace of the tour were perfect, too.
The experience was fantastic. The guide, Eduardo, shared an incredible amount of history about Mexico and Mexico City, in the context of iconic buildings in the Centro Histórico, all in 2 hours. I learned so much! He also recommended places to eat as well as other potential interesting experiences. I cannot recommend this tour strongly enough.
Luis was very acknowledged of the city was incredible to see Diego Rivera murals I highly recommend to anyone
We recently took the Historical City Center walking tour with Eduardo as our guide, and we wanted to share our wonderful experience. Eduardo possesses a deep and extensive knowledge of the history of Mexico and Mexico City. He shared this with such care, breaking down the information so that it was easy to understand, perfectly tailoring it to visitors like us who had no prior background knowledge. Although two hours is not a very long time, he managed to guide us to an impressive number of places. Towards the latter half of the tour, the weather took a turn for the worse and it started getting dark, but Eduardo maintained the exact same dedication, enthusiasm, and passion as he did at the very beginning. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to start their trip by gaining a solid understanding of Mexico's fascinating history.
Be aware of this company that erases any bad review. Also, their tours aren't completely "free" at the end they asked for a minimum free!!! Really? In Mexico the tips are given freely, they aren't mandatory. Don't fool the customers. Also, don't allow them to take a pic from you. They should show you a privacy notice & you are free to decline being in the pic. Remember that your sensitive personal data will be exposed. Not worth it!
Learned so much about the history of Mexico City along with some fun facts. Even though it poured, our guide made sure to give us the full tour along with some amazing food recommendations!
Tadeo was an awesome guide and we got a wonderful overview of Mexican history and culture! Amazing way to start our trip!
Alejandro was knowledgable, friendly, funny and made our tour a great time. Would highly recommend him to everyone. He even gave us great local restaurant recommendations.
We had a great tour with Emilio who is an archeologist working at the Templo Mayor. It seems like many of Estacion Mexico's tour guides have similarly deep subject matter expertise. Highly recommend!
It was a wonderful, comprehensive and informative tour. We saw and learned a lot. Javier was so passionate about his city that it made the experience extra special. Highly recommend! We did this tour on our first day in Mexico City and I think that was a great decision as it gave us an understanding of the place, just as our time here begins.
Our guide, Javier V. was the best tour guide we have met during our month long trip in Mexico. He spoke perfect English and was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic, we have learnt so much about Mexico's incredible history, culture and the city's architecture. He was exceptionally good with our children too, I had never seen them so captivated and interested. I am very grateful for the experience!
Estrella was a fantastic guide. She was knowledgeable funny and kept us entertained throughout the walking tour.
The tour was ok, it felt rush by the guide, like she was just going with the motions of repeating the stats and history of Mexico, the plazas, monuments, etc. I was not thrilled when after the tour, I thanked her and gave her her tip, as it's a free walking tour. She proceeded to tell me how much she has to payout to her employer, and asked me for more. It was not in good taste, as I felt the tip was appropriate for the 1.5 hour walking tour.
Very interesting tour of the historic centre of CDMX - very good to get our bearings on the first day!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic tour, absolutely worth it!
This was an incredible tour of mexico city and the tour guides are awesome and very knowledgeable and know what they’re talking about! I highly recommend this especially if it’s your first time in Mexico City
Sofia was such a cordial and passionate tour guide!!! The main square was blocked by protests so she did a fantastic alternative program!! I enjoyed it a lot!!; muchissimas gracias!!!
Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. They were very flexible as well with some challenges the day of our tour due to some protests and marches in the zocalo. So worth it to learn about the history of the city.
Great walking tour with Tadeo. We ended up being the only guests on the tour so we got to ask lots of questions. We learned so much about Mexican history and got to see all the major sites around the city. Great first day experience to get a lay of the land and learn about the culture and history.
Alejandro was great! We had so much fun and learned a lot. It was really interesting to learn about the history of the city. Thank you so much for an amazing experience!!!
Took many Estacion Mexixo tours over 5 weeks in Mexico. All were excellent with enthusiastic guides who were great communicators.
We did a walking tour with Sofia. It was really great. She is lovely and joyful. She shared her knowledge about the history of the city and also some of her local experience. We were only 2 of us in this tour it was like a private tour. I recommend.
Great tour showing the history of the city while admiring the architectural landmarks. It was one of the best I have done so far. Our guide, Tadeo, was exceptionally knowledgeable and made it very enjoyable and easy to understand with the historic context. He was even able to answer all our questions about the other parts of Mexican history.
As always, Estacion México does not disappoint. My guide was informative, interesting and accommodating. She conducted the tour in Spanish at my request as I am learning to speak the language and was very accommodating. Her knowledge and passion for the city of Mexico is infectious!
We did the Centro historico tour with Jesus and it was great. Jesus is extremely knowledgeable about the history of CDMX. During the 2 hour tour he shared many facts and found a way to make it fun. Thanks Jesus! One of the best free walking tours we ever had!
Alex was our guide and he was so fun and knowledgeable! We learned so much about the history of Mexico City and got to see so much in a short amount of time. I feel like he kept it very fun and interesting and it didn’t feel like a ton of walking even though we covered a lot of ground!
Great tour of the El Centro. Cant imagine a paid tour could be any better. Take the free tour and tip well!
I had a good quality tour on each occasion with Estacion Mexico. Every guide spoke English well and was very knowledgeable about the area.
We had a fantastic tour with Emilio around the historical center. He was so informative, funny, and very engaging! Even though we got caught in a rainstorm, we still consider this to be a highlight of our trip! Mucho gracias!
Our guide Sofia presented the information in a very interactive format. She also helped us to book another tour and gave us recommendations about restaurants, museums,…
We thoroughly enjoyed this excellent tour of the downtown historic area. It was the perfect way to start our week-long visit to Mexico City and a good foundation for further exploration. We covered a lot of ground – literally and in terms of the history and culture of the city -- but it was all very manageable. Sofia was a very engaging and knowledgeable guide. I especially enjoyed our discussions about The Templo Mayor, the early development of Mexico City and the architectural and planning issues related to subsidence. The Rivera murals in the Ministry of Education building were another highlight. We had a small group so it was easy to have side conversations with Sofia and raise whatever questions we wanted. As other reviewers have mentioned, she was full of good suggestions for follow-up activities and places to visit, including restaurant tips. Thank you, Sofia!
Thaddeo was our guide and he made the history interesting with all the stories. He also had a lot of funny jokes which kept the group entertained. We learned a lot about the historical culture of Mexico and how things came to be. Scheduling online and communication was simple and easy to follow.
very fun tour with lots of walking. the guide was very informative. we actually did this tour twice, once as a couple and then when our kids came to town. It was noice to see that each guide was excellent. I think our guides were Edoardo and Jonathan . definitely highly fuggest you bring an umbrella since its sunny and a hat and sunscreen will not be enough. we bought umbrellas for 50 pesos and they were a life saver
We had an excellent to work with historic centre - highly recommend this tour
Our group of 10 adult family members enjoyed Leonardo's guidance in the delightful area of Coyoacan. His English is very good so we were able to ask many questions. He knew his topic and guided us through a very interesting parts of this historical part of Mexico City. He had lots of maps and photographs to help make his points. Highly recommended.
Maria was a fabulous tour guide! We thoroughly enjoyed our introduction and walk around the historic downtown of Mexico City. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and entertaining. We really enjoyed spending a couple of hours with her. She was great at answering any questions we had. We also loved our lunch recommendation and had a delicious rooftop experience! she also suggested places to revisit along our tour, which were also great. We went to the ballet folklorico on her recommendation and loved it.
Sofía was giving a lot of used il and besos information and sharing her amole Knowledge. And very open to questions.
Lovely tour. Tadeo our tour guide was wonderful.
The tour was excellent, my partner and I from the UK and another guy from Germany. They guide spoke perfect English, was genuinely interested in what he did. Helpful, answered questions, funny and seemed a geuine nice guy. Also gave us tips on where to eat and drink. Highly recommended.

My wife and I had a great walking tour with the lovely Paulina. It was very informative and interesting. Would wholeheartedly recommend it
We did this tour with Alex. He was very entertaining, interesting and informative. He had the right balance of fun and information
Great experience. Our tour guide was knowledgable, shared great personal facts and answered all our questions. Appreciated her personal recommendations for food and things to go see. Saw a lot of the area and key sites. Group size was small and was the perfect amount of time together. Highly recommend!
We loved the historic centre tour. 2.5 hours was the perfect amount of time. We learned a lot about the Mexica and the history of the historic centre, really enjoyable.
Excellent tour. Laura was very knowledgeable and presented fluently and clearly. She answered all questions fully. We learnt a lot.
Do this first! You learn so many other things you can do while visiting. This tour was one of our fav things on the trip. I feel so informed in a digestible way. Such robust history to hear and see. I highly recommend!!!
