After the initial confusion with logistics we had a wonderful day with Marisol. She is very knowledgeable and added to our canal experience with history, visits to the bakery, market, monastery , etc.. A pleasure to have as our host.

Did a tour with City Unscripted tours. It was very easy to book my tour online and when I needed to correct a typo in the email address and move the tour to a different date, the person on the phone was very nice, helpful, and quickly resolved everything. I was lucky to be assigned Nico for my guide. He reached out to me before my arrival to confirm arrangements, give me and idea of what to expect, and let me know what to bring. He was very thoughtful and reassuring about my visit. He is full of historical and cultural knowledge and was very willing to discuss any topics about life México, not just the tour itself. He prepared a little surprise for my visit that was very unexpected and kind. If you book a tour with City Unscripted, you would do well to request Nico (or Nick).
