Wonderful Guide - Our guide (Emiliano ?) was very informative. I learned a lot about the Mexican history and local culture. I had a hard time locating the meeting point initially but a quick call to the office directly connected me to the guide. Superb service.

A terrific tour with a first-rate guide - The tour covered centuries of history and culture, led by a guide who spoke impeccable English and who knew ALL the material thoroughly. But he hadn’t just memorized a script; he was able to roll with unexpected circumstances, to improvise, and to answer all questions. I learned so much and had a great time!

Late morning stroll - Diana was great - kept it interesting and informative. Solid group too. She set you with suggestions for the end of the tour instead of pressuring you during.

Informative and definitely worth the value and information - Really enjoyed this tour! Tour guide was knowledgeable and very pleasant. Initially, I thought I would skip a tour and just go by myself, but I’m very glad I did not do that and I booked this tour!
