Wonderful customized tour by a very kind and knowledgeable guide Nic! - Our guide Nic was exceptional. It was our first day in CDMX and we were under the weather. He was very patient and customized the tour based on our needs. We have a senior and a toddler in our group so we had varied needs. We really like our guide Nic who is very knowledgeable and very kind. Highly recommend! We recommend Nic to anyone who is coming to CDMX!

Truly hidden gems of the city that only a local guide can take you too! - Adriana is a wonderful guide, very attentive to our needs, and capable of adapting the tour based on the weather and the fact that most museums were closed on Monday. She did a terrific job taking us to hidden gems in the city, drinking hot chocolate, visiting the cathedral, and almost giving us a historic architectural tour of the city . I highly recommend her!
