Nic was so nice and helpful. He answered all our questions, and we had alot, about every stop we made. We have a better understanding of the history of Mexico and the origin story. We had a blast. I would definitely recommend him and would love to do additional tours with him our next visit.

We did the historical center tour and really enjoyed it. Adriana was really knowledgeable and catered the tour to our interests. She makes an effort to understand her groups interests and preferences. She's also a really lovely person, and we enjoyed our tour a lot. Would recommend and also do another tour with her.

Roberto gave us an excellent and comprehensive private tour of CDMX! He communicated with me prior to the tour and solicited my goals, which were ambitious. He fulfilled admirably on all my suggestions. In addition to telling us the historical significance of the sights, he also filled in with social and political issues of interest. He focused a lot on social art ( an interest of ours) and explained the murals we saw in at least three locations. It was really enlightening and helpful in explaining the context of the art. Roberto took us on the subway too which was interesting and we had the chance to see more than just the center of town. A really great tour!
