Good rounded trip

5.00Excellent guide. Good mix of walking round centre which was designed for our interests followed by a car to cover other areas of Mexico City we would not have seen otherwise. Helpfully dropped us at anthropological museum
An exciting experience that has moved us back to the past.

5.00The itinerary of the excursion was simply perfect: first a walk across the Zocalo and a visit to the cathedral and the Aztecs ruins, then the Anthropology museum. But the best part was our guide Juan Castro, who accompanied me along this travel across centuries of Mexico's history, giving insights of the origins and evolution of the Mexican people and their nation.

1.00I purchased this tour with the main reason being wanting to go to anthropology museum. I messaged the night before to confirm it was open because the previous guide told me it was not. Never received a response. When the tour guide arrived to pick us up, i posed the question again and he said of coarse it is open. Well at the end of the zocalo area tour he headed to the museum, and what do you know it was closed. I was so upset. He proceeded to try and kill time by taking us to polanco and showing us all the sky scrapers in the area including hotels and then car dealerships in the polance area. I did not sign up nor was i interested in knowing what hotels were in the area and what car dealerships were there. This was not a good experience. Ruined the last day of our vacation.
Jorge, our guide was excellent!

5.00Great introduction to main attractions in Mexico City. Our guide Jorge was extremely knowledgeable. I would have liked more time to see more at the anthropological museum.
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH VIATOR
Don M,Dec 4, 2018
- Review from Viator
1.00Viator was singularly unhelpful when we needed to cancel or reschedule this tour due to getting Montezuma's revenge the day before. First they invoked the "no cancellation w/in 24 hour rule to deny us a refund. Then we asked to reschedule our tour to the following day (a Monday) and they claimed their operator had no availability. WILL NEVER USE VIATOR AGAIN AS THEY ARE A COMPLETE AND UTTER FRAUD.
Great introduction to Mexico City

5.00My wife and I took this tour with Olympic Tours (through Viator). The tour was amazing. Our guide, Frank, was a joy and very knowledgeable. There were only four of us on the tour, so we felt like we had a private guide. We started in the heart of Mexico City, visiting the Cathedral, National Palace and the anthropology museums. We had plenty of time at each stop, with Frank giving us extra time when we requested it. It was hard to select a favorite, but being Catholic, I really enjoyed the Cathedral. This tour is a great introduction to Mexico City and its culture.
1/2 day tour with Alberto de Knich@Coyol

4.0009-03-2018 Half a day to visit Mexico City. Made with the agency Kinich@Coyol and your excellent guide Alberto. Alberto is an open book, it is incredible the knowledge he has and the kindness he gives off in his explanations. Thanks Alberto. Alberto picked us up at our hotel with his minibus. It took us to visit the historic center of Mexico City, one of the largest cities World Heritage Sites. He parked his minibus and we took the tour of the historic center on foot. We visit: the Zócalo (main square), the National Palace with the murals of Diego Rivera, the Metropolitan Cathedral, a panoramic view of the Templo Mayor, the city of Aztec culture, with more than 2,000 years of history. We took his vehicle again and continued the excursion to Chapultepec Park, along Paseo de la Reforma, to visit the National Museum of Anthropology. The Anthropological Museum is a must. There is a wide variety of exhibitions in different rooms. We only visited one of these rooms. You see impressive works like the famous Stone of the Sun or the Aztec Calendar, Many masterpieces of ancient Mesoamerican cultures. After the visit, Alberto took us to our hotel.
