    Great way to spend first morning in Mexico City
    Dawn_B, Apr 2024
    Fer was an awesome guide, great local knowledge and history. Bonus that it was just our family of 3.
    Great tour with Fernanda
    Lucy_M, Apr 2024
    Fernanda was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and funny. We covered a lot of ground and history in 3 hours. Good value for the price. There were about 15 of us in total. My only complaint was that I thought we would go into the Museo del Templo Mayor and Palacio de Bellas Artes as it says entrance is included. Still learned a lot and the whole family enjoyed it.

    Because it was Good Frida, we couldn’t go into the church’s. Our guide was good and she did the best she could.
    Great Tour!

    Alex was great. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to others. His knowledge of the sites was spectacular and his English was great.
    Fine visit to historic district with lots of relevant discussion of Mexico's historic phases...
    Dan_N, Feb 2024
    Alejandro was a very competent guide whose insight on architecture helped us understand the problems with the sinking of key structures in the historic district. He recounted his personal experiences with life in Mexico City in colorful ways - and helped us understand the three periods of Mexico's history - the pre-colonial, colonial and Republican eras. He conveyed as well some of the continuing challenges of the country's development as well as some key accomplishments. Well worth the money!
    Really great tour
    charles_k, Feb 2024
    Alexia, our tour guide was fantastic. Her English is extremely good and has the ability to add depth to our conversations rather than talking about things at a surface level. She is clearly very passionate about the country’s history and its situations today. We learned alot from the walking tour and would recommend this tour.
    Local expertise
    Chiara_C, Jan 2024
    The walking tour gives you the opportunity to visit the main spots in the center in around 3 hours. The guides will give you a lot information about the sites but also about history of the place, current events and local tips. Our guide Alexia was very nice and energetic, guiding us around her hometown. Her English was perfect and she shared with us her personal experience as a citizen.
    Amazing walking tour with the best guide Alejandro.

    Dani was a great guide! What a perfect way to start our Mexico City vacation. Soooo much history and symbolism, and without a guide, you wouldn’t notice a lot of details. I recommend this tour.
    Very pleasant and informative tour
    Rumeli_T, Dec 2023
    I enjoyed learning about the history of the land and the detailed tour inside the Metropolitan cathedral. Our guide Michelle explained ll the sites very nicely and we learned a lot about the history of the land.
    Great tour
    Natasha_N, Dec 2023
    We had a great time with Dani! Our tour was on Christmas morning so the city was empty and the tour turned out to be private. We really enjoyed it and got some good recommendations as well!
    Good to learn Maxico history
    Ningming_H, Dec 2023
    Knowledgeable tour guide for history of Maxico. There are some important buildings and interesting stories that I learned from the guide.
    Time and Money Well Spent
    bruce_n, Nov 2023
    Excellent Tour with our super guide Alex. We learned so much more about all things Mexico from Alex than i ever expected. A full education of each place we visited and fielded our questions to the point. If you get Alex as a guide you'll be doing yourself the best. Thank you Alex!
    Great tour

    Funny knowledgable guide, Jasmine was great, thanks. This app won’t let me submit unless I write more - aggravating!
    Alejandro's Historic Center of Mexico City tour is topnotch! Gracias, Viator and Alejandro!
    Sara_P, Jul 2023
    Alejandro was a terrific guide for us on this Centro Histórico tour of Mexico City! He was very welcoming, extremely knowledgeable, interesting, and energetic. We are so impressed with him! The tour was a fantastic way to kick off our days of touring in Mexico City. He offered us a great deal of insight into the history of the city, from the Aztec beginnings, to the Spanish conquest, colonial times, and up through the leaders and revolution of the 19th and 20th centuries. As a high school Spanish teacher, I learned a great deal from him -- I was amazed that he could make 500 years of history come to life in a 3-4 hour tour of CDMX’s historic center. Wow! He is a very talented person! Our daughter continued to talk about how important the tour was to her understanding of Mexico even as we were in the passport line returning from our trip. We would highly recommend booking this tour as a way to orient yourself to the city as you begin your Mexico City visit. Definitely 5 stars!

    Laura_F, Jun 2023
    Alejandro did an awesome job on our tour! He also answered all questions that were asked! He was thorough in explaining the landmarks.
    It was a great choice
    MArggie_M, May 2023
    Our tour guide, Alejandro, was knowledgeable and fun, which made the experience better for the younger ones in our group. We learned a lot of cool facts about the city and were given tips if we decided to explore on our own after the tour. One of the guide's recommendations was a restaurant, which was, by far, the best eating experience we had in Mexico City. The group was small, and the guide stopped in places with good shade whenever possible.
