Tour with Mariel - Our tour with Mariel was outstanding. She was warm and engaging and her explanations struck the perfect balance between being highly informative and yet accessible to a novice. She incorporated her experiences and insights as a resident and this provided immediacy and context to the presentation. A great way to start our week in Mexico City.

Best Way to See CDMX - It was our first day in Mexico City, and this city exceeded our expectations - even more beautiful and fabulous than we expected. We started our first day with a city tour. Our guide Chris was very knowledgeable and gave us key facts on all the historical sites and of course, took photos of our trio. He answered all our questions and gave us a tour of his city. We were so happy with everything we learned. At the end of tour, we were waiting for our Uber and our driver was trying to scam us with additional fares - Chris remained with us until we were safe and on our way back to hotel - he really went out of his way to ensure our safety. This made the tour even more impactful. Thank you Chris for organizing us.

Amazing tour with an incredible guide...can't recommend enough. - This was our first time using Withlocals and we went into it with high hopes...the experience far exceeded our expectations! Our family of four (including an 18-year old and a 12-year old) can be a tough crowd at times. We have very different interests and the idea of trudging around for nearly 3 hours can be daunting. I was half-expecting somebody in the family would be miserable and want to pull the plug early, but that's not what happened at all. From the moment we met Victor, he had all of us fully engaged. He's such a nice and personable guy, you can't help but like him. He is so incredibly knowledgeable. In addition to a the very detailed and standard tour stuff, he was able to answer all of the random questions we through his way. And the moment he happened to bring up anime, he had our kids eating out of the palm of his hand. Our kids don't typically get excited about museums, history, dates, etc. But Victor's approach was so interesting and entertaining, he kept them engaged the entire time...listening intently and asking questions. It was such a joy for us as parents to see them taking it all in and enjoying the experience. They got so much out of it, we all got so much out of it! I don't think we could get the same benefit any other way. The only downside was having to say goodbye to Victor again. Obviously, I can't recommend Victor and this tour strongly enough. Our experience with the Whitlocal platform was easy enough and we will definitely look to use it again every time we travel.

Fun, informative, and kind - Our guided tour was the perfect introduction to Mexico City. We chose to do it on our first full day post-arrival, and it grounded our experiences. I strongly recommend this experience!

No show - I could not find our tour guide. I tried to call the number listed, but it was disconnected. I tried texting, using WhatsApp, and messaging through the Viator portal. We finally gave up after an hour.
