Great tour!
Julie_A, Apr 2024
Eduardo was very informative and helpful. It is a great orientation to the history of downtown Mexico City. He pointed out things I would not have noticed on my own.

Love the Murals
Angela_C, Mar 2024
Highly recommend Eduardo as a guide for this amazing tour. He taught us so much and we covered a lot of ground from the well known to more hidden gems. So glad we selected this tour that included the murals. What a wonderful way to experience the history of CDMX through art.

History class
Rogelio_U, Jan 2024
The tour was more standing in the middle of the plaza listening to a history class than walking and seeing the place. My wife told the guide that she wanted to walk and see, and I told him that I have a problem in one of my knees and either have to walk or seat He didn’t listen and we didn’t have any option than dismissing the guide after 2 hours of tour.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Dear Rogelio, Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback. We are sorry to hear that our tour could not fully meet your expectations - we will do our best to improve our services in the future. regards, gratefully, Vibe Adventures’ team
