    Monica was an exceptional guide showing us some beautiful buildings and sharing their history. Also took us to some unique views the general public does not see. We explored the Centro/Zocalo area and Coyoacan. Took good care of us wherever we encountered large crowds.

    Monica was super nice and very knowledgeable. If you like art galleries this is the tour for you! I chose to “see everything” and Monica customized the trip to my preferences. Do beware that it is 7-hours of walking (except for lunch), which I didn’t mind. This is a great option for those who are in town for a couple days but want to see everything (tourist attractions, local culture, and off-the-beaten-path). I really liked how Monica took me to non-tourist places with great views and gave me suggestions on where to go for the remainder of my trip. She also advised when “I could get a better price elsewhere,” which was really nice as the downtown area can be a tourist trap.
