Great tour to Iztapalapa incl very enjoyable cable car ride! Amazing guide, really enjoyed our time!! - We took an amazing tour to Iztapalapa neighbourhood incl a long cable car ride over the roofs of this very interesting & diverse area. We already had high expectations, but they were even topped. The exploration tour to this area of CDMX is already very cool, but it was especially cool with our guide Oscar! Oscar was sooo knowledgable, friendly and entertaining! We absolutely enjoyed spending the time with him and getting to know more about his home town. Oh and as some might be concerned: you are absolutely safe on this tour! Your guide will take extra good care of you and you won‘t go into any dangerous spots.
Absolutely recommended, you will definitely not regret and keep those memories you gained during the tour for a life time! Thank you Oscar!!

Perfect start to our stay - Well worth it to get a sense of centro and history of the city at the beginning of your stay. We had the most brilliant guide, Netza, young, well-spoken, passionate, intelligent and funny, who injected our tour with philosophic insights and great tips for being in the city. We all loved him. A credit to the company ( Kactus Tours ).

Awesome tour! - Our walking tour with Netza was awesome! He was so knowledgeable and very articulate. He added so many interesting things to our tour and made sure to cover many highlights. I would highly recommend this tour, especially on a first day in Mexico City. I’ve done many walking tours and this was one of the best!!

Great tour, but lacking which guide to look for - Overall it was a great tour! My family really enjoyed it. We weren’t sure who we should be looking for which is why I can’t give it 5 stars. We ended up finding multiple guides in green shirts and that’s who we should have been looking for.
