A great intro to Mexico City - Our lovely guide (whose name escapes me, sorry to say) took our small group on an easy walking tour of Centro CDMX. She was very knowledgeable and great English. She was able to answer all of our questions and gave additional tips further site seeing and lunch recommendations! We would highly recommend this tour to get a brief history of Mexico as well as see many wonderful places.
