A Wonderful Day in Mexico City - Adrianna was my guide and she was just wonderful. She messaged me a couple days before my tour to find out my preferences and wish list. She made it all happen. She catered to my wants and also showed me extra special places she knew about. I wouldn’t have seen as much of MC without her. For me, the highlight was Coyoacan. Adrianna was punctual, friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in showing me her city. I can’t say enough good things about her and the experience.

Choose exactly what you want to see - Marisol did a great job of introducing us to Mexico City. A few weeks before our trip, she sent a questionnaire asking about what we really wanted to focus on with our time. We said that since this was our first trip to CDMX, that we’d like to hit the highlights while learning about Mexican (and Mexico City’s) history. Marisol did a wonderful job of answering our questions and tailoring our afternoon to see precisely what we wanted to see, all while she explained the Mexican history and culture. We had traditional snacks, and she even showed us a hidden area in the park. Overall highly recommended.

Perfect Tour - Our tour with Marisol was a highlight of our trip to Mexico City. We knew we wanted to spend the tour in the Zocalo, and Marisol customized what we visited in the area to our interests. She was super personable and knowledgeable and eager to share her knowledge with us. The tour was four hours but flew by. Highly recommend - a great way to get an in depth perspective on CDMX!

Great tour of Mexico City! - We had wonderful 4 hours with Ninelth! She took us to all the main sites in the city’s historical center including: Zocalo, Metropolitan Cathedral, Templo Mayor, Casa de los Azulejos, Post Office, and Mercado de San Juan. She was kind, informative, and passionate. It was the perfect way to see a lot of tourist highlights and learn about the city’s history in a short amount of time. Thank you Ninelth!
