My reviews

I had everything I wanted during the personal guided tour with Lando. I enjoyed learning about the history behind the landmarks we visited. Lando brought the past to life with his insights of history, geography and topography. I took this tour prior to the Anthropology museum & pyramid tours. Lando taught me so much that I could see in pieces at the museum and pyramids the stories he taught me. Lando was so easy to learn from and his explanations and stories are easy to follow. Above all else, following the 3 hour tour, Lando looked after my wellbeing when my route home was cut off by a protest. He stayed with me another 45mins and let me tether his internet so I could uber back to my hotel; He could be a professor at a university and he was right there guiding me around CDMX and ensuring my safety. I was solo and he took so many great photos of me around CDMX that my friends and family greatly appreciated viewing. Lando is the very best guide I could have asked for!

I'll write a review online but I couldn't ask for a better guide. Lando saved my life! The tour was incredibly insightful - relating current topogrophy, architecture with historical insghts and story telling. It was just everything I wanted in 3 hours. There were protests so my bus route back to my hotel was cut off. I had no internet. Lando waited with me for 45 min, allowed me to tether internet from his phone to connect with an uber. Otherwise I would have had a very long walk under the hot sun. Lado really came through and didn't leave me. I am so grateful to him. I'll write a proper review on tripadvisor soon.
