5.00We had an AMAZING tour with Diego! He was incredibly knowledgeable about Mexico City’s complicated history and taught us so much in just three hours. His insights were informative and interesting, he was highly engaging and this was an absolutely worthwhile experience that we would highly recommend!

5.00The visit to the park and castle was great. Very knowledgeable and interesting guide helped choose from a massive amount of information and artifacts to see. He presented a comprehensive story line including all major events and explaining dependencies. If I could do it again I would start with Chatapultec followed by the Museum of Anthropology. That way all things you see fall in place. Strongly recommend
Excellent guide!!

5.00The tour Jorge gave us was excellent. He was knowledgeable, concise, and easily answered all our questions. This was our fifth trip to Mexico and we thought we already knew a lot about it. This tour, and Jorge’s excellent knowledge, helped us understand Mexico’s complicated past and present a lot better. We wished we had taken this tour on our first visit.

5.00The early morning trip to Teotihuacan was absolutely worthwhile - the bus trip alone justified the cost. Ernesto was a terrific guide; energetic and gave lots of info in rapid fire English and Spanish.
