Wow! Ernesto took us to the most beautiful parts of Mexico City and gave us a very thorough overview of the history and culture. He customized the tour to just what we wanted to see and do and honestly made us fall in love with the city. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Mexico City but also shared his many personal experiences and perspectives about the culture which really added another layer of our tour. Make sure you ask for Ernesto because he was truly the perfect guide!

This was exactly what I’d asked for: a real tour of Mexico City where I wouldn’t see other tourists. This tour delivered. Our guide was brilliant, bringing her background as an architect to help explain the rich and complex nature of Mexico City. The discussion with her was truly wonderful and insightful.

Ernesto welcomed us to Mexico City by email a couple of weeks before the tour. He confirmed our request to meet him at our hotel and notified us of being a few minutes late because of traffic. Friendly and very knowledgeable, he thoroughly answered all our questions while walking us from one neighborhood to the next. We covered a lot of ground in five hours, including learning much about the politics and history of Mexico. We enjoyed a lunch of tacos and guacamole with him, managed to complete a couple of small purchases of necessities that would have been more complicated without him. We saw a lot, ended up far from our hotel, but he helped us get an Uber back at the end of the tour. He was super and we highly recommend him.
