Engaging and Well-Paced Private Tour in Mexico City - We had a wonderful time on this custom private tour with our guide Ninelth. Her passion for history was evident from the start, and we really enjoyed exploring the sights with someone so knowledgeable. Ninelth even took photos of us along the way, which was a thoughtful touch and very helpful. One small suggestion for improvement would be to include a built-in snack or hot chocolate stop. We went to a delicious hot chocolate place on our own and enjoyed it, and it would be nice to have that included so guests do not have to worry about paying extra. I would have been happy to pay a little extra for the ticket if it includes that. Overall it was a great experience, and we highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a personal and informative look at Mexico City.

Amazing tour experience - Nina is an amazing and patient tour guide who made our experience in Mexico City truly unforgettable. Her passion for indigenous communities and civilizations shines through in every part of the tour. She’s incredibly knowledgeable — covering everything from language, art history, and architecture to anthropology and theology — and shares it all in a way that’s both engaging and accessible. We learned so much about the many cultural and historical influences that have shaped Mexico City. A highlight was grabbing delicious tacos during the tour and exploring the vibrant Mercado de San Juan. I only wish we had more time! Nina’s warmth, insight, and enthusiasm made this tour one of the most memorable parts of our trip. Highly recommended!

Fantastic tour of CDMX with Ernesto! - Our guide, Ernesto, was wonderful! We learned so much and felt completely "taken care of" the entire time. As promised, we covered a lot of ground on our tour, but got to see many of the major sites in Mexico City as desired. He went above and beyond both picking us up as well as making sure we knew the best way to get back our hotel. His tour left us wanting to learn and experience more, and we hope to return to this wonderful city soon! Muchas gracias, Ernesto!

Personalized tour with a very knowledgeable guide. - Alex was a great guide with a lot of knowledge about Mexico City, history, art, architecture and more. He really let us tailor the tour and experience including the pace and things we knew we wanted to see and experience. He also showed us plenty of things that weren’t already on our list. He gave us recommendations for great food and coffee as well. Really had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this tour to others who want to get familiar with the city.
