Radwa_S, Oct 2023

Great tour for someone who is in the city for a limited time. Daniela the tour guide was very informative and super sweet

Great overview of the old city

Nancy_J, Sept 2023

Such an interesting and comprehensive tour. Our guide, Emiliano, was terrific! Great knowledge of the history of Mexico City and the architecture.

Informative walking tour

danchited, Sept 2023

I joined this tour with my husband and son. Our guide Daniela was very informative and also very kind. I would recommend this walking tour for those interested in getting an overview of the city. We walked around for three hours with a coffee break in the middle,

Historic downtown Mexico City

Karla_P, Sept 2023

The plaza was extra noisy of the holiday but Arturo our guide was knowledgeable and funny - probably would have been better if they weren’t closing the entire plaza down for day of independence but we saw some other sites I wouldn’t have seen otherwise . Now I feel I gotta do it all over again on a non holiday

Excellent tour!

JenniferW, Sept 2023

Emiliano was friendly, knowledgeable and funny! We learned so much not just about the sights, but also about Mexican culture and politics. Highly recommended!!!!

Great walking tour!

Cami_G, Sept 2023

Arturo was incredible! He's an archeologist and it was apparent by his passion and knowledge of the sites that we saw. He set a great pace and did a good job of presenting the info. Overall, would highly recommend this tour!

Grab you walking shoes and be prepared to be amazed!

Sarah_G, Sept 2023

This was a fun and very informative tour. Emiliano was chill and very knowledgeable, he kept our group together to make sure we were safe from the hustle and bustle of the busy city center. Bring a hat and comfortable shoes. The mid-tour bathroom break is in a very clean dept store. You can also buy water or coffee only if you need to. One of the lunch recommendations by Emiliano was La Casa de Toño in the city center. Well…it was DELICIOUS! ** I would order sour cream in the side if tacos and any other dishes, but the Pozole was tasty and the prices were very economical. Emiliano was an amazing tour guide and Sandra (guide in training) will follow his footsteps soon. We opted for the Spanish tour and were very satisfied!

Arturo Provides Great Downtown Tour

Dan_O, Sept 2023

Amazing tour

Nag_C, Aug 2023

Wonderful tour with clear explanations in English by Emiliano. We only wish it was longer so that we could also see the insides of some buildings like the national palace and the palace of the arts.
