Clifton_G, Apr 2024
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!

A Great informative stroll through stunning, historic Mexico City downtown
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!

Mexican Culture Condensed but Valuable
Nam_N, Jan 2024
Nic was an incredible local guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating of some mobility issues with a member of my party. He stopped to explain things thoroughly, and we never felt like he was checking off boxes to get us through. His knowledge of Mexican history is impressive and even more impressive is his ability to communicate his passion to us. We very much appreciate this experience, and highly recommend it to anyone.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you for the positive review on your private and personalized tour with Nic. Your feedback truly uplifts us. Think of us next time you travel, we have many many hosts all around the world!

This tour was excellent from the beginning to end. They sent a short survey about what we were interested in and how fast we wanted to go. Claudia created a tour that met and exceeded our expectations. She was informative and engaging. She was very accommodating when we needed breaks and made sure we were happy with the tour. She even gave us recommendations for future activities. I would highly recommend this company and Claudia.

A nice trip in CDMX
Tingyuan_X, Dec 2023
My tour guide is Marisol Inclán. She is very knowledagble in Mexico culture, history and architecture. The communication is smooth and plan is made ahead of the tour. Besides those famouse tourist attractions that everyone know, Marisol also gave me a tour in food market and some education buildings. The tour provideed me not only the Mexico history, the Mexico society is also presented to me in this tour. Anyway, this is a frutiful and outstanding tour for CDMX. Very impressive.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
