Great experience

Published on Dec, 2024

It was exactly what I wanted. I told Roberto what I was interested in and he made the best plan. He was so knowledgeable and provided so much information about mexicos history and took me to places I never would have gone to or found on my own.

Our private tour in Mexico City’s downtown was worth it!

Published on Dec, 2024

Our private tour of Mexico City’s downtown history was worth it. Our guide Marisol trained as an architect gave us so much insight into the history of Mexico and Mexico City’s downtown area. We enjoyed seeing the Cathedral and the ruins before enjoying a lunch and then seeing many murals of Diego Rivera. My husband and I would definitely recommend this amazing tour with Marisol.

CDMX with Lando is the best!

Published on Dec, 2024

I had everything I wanted during the personal guided tour with Lando. I enjoyed learning about the history behind the landmarks we visited. Lando brought the past to life with his insights of history, geography and topography. I took this tour prior to the Anthropology museum & pyramid tours. Lando taught me so much that I could see in pieces at the museum and pyramids the stories he taught me. Lando was so easy to learn from and his explanations and stories are easy to follow. Above all else, following the 3 hour tour, Lando looked after my wellbeing when my route home was cut off by a protest. He stayed with me another 45mins and let me tether his internet so I could uber back to my hotel; He could be a professor at a university and he was right there guiding me around CDMX and ensuring my safety. I was solo and he took so many great photos of me around CDMX that my friends and family greatly appreciated viewing. Lando is the very best guide I could have asked for!

Wonderful learning experience about history and architecture of Mexico City

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an incredible experience with our guide during our half-day tour of Mexico City. His deep knowledge of the city’s history and architecture truly brought the sights to life. From the intricate details of the colonial buildings to the rich stories behind ancient landmarks, he painted a vivid picture of Mexico City's past. He was also incredibly patient, answering all our questions with enthusiasm. We left the tour with a newfound appreciation for the city’s cultural heritage and architectural splendor. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and passionate guide about history and architecture, we highly recommend him!

A great day! Learned so much about Mexico City....

Published on Dec, 2024
