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.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
The traditional snacks and hidden gems in the park sound like delightful additions to your tour. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more memorable experiences in the future!

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!

Had two great half days with Ninelth. Her love of Mexico is palpable and she brought a lot of passion and knowledge to our touring. She also was great at logistics, helping us negotiate prices, etc. Highly recommend- especially boat ride in Xochimilco.

Adam_L, Feb 2024
Both this tour and my guide Nicolas (also known as Nick/Nico) were amazing ! In the space of a 3-4 hours , I got to see so many stunning historical buildings, squares and monuments , and found out about Mexico City’s fascinating history. Unfortunately due to my own medical issue , I could not eat, but the delicious food places we passed by were a treat on the senses none the less . Nick was very accommodating and even added extra time at the end to show me some cool street markets and shops where I bought a few one of a kind souvenirs . I loved it !
Response from Host, Feb 2024
I'm thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic time with Nicolas, and your experience sounds truly exciting! Thank you for sharing your personal recommendations with fellow travelers, and a special thank you for the positive review. It means a lot to us!

We had such a wonderful day walking through the streets of Mexico City. Ernesto went above and beyond to accommodate our group! Besides being incredibly friendly, he was extremely knowledgeable in so many aspects of the city’s history, architecture and culture. You can really tell he loves his city, so very passionate!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
