Awesome Mexico City - careful booking for Casa Azul

Overall, I enjoyed the tour. The guide was great - very knowledgeable and professional. My issue was with the operator, who hid behind "disclaimers" and the overall scam of a process to visit Casa Azul. The rest of the tour was comprehensive and very informative. Loved Mexico City!

Operator response

Dear Traveler, Thank you very much for sharing your feedback and for your kind words about the guide. We’re glad to hear you found the tour informative and that you enjoyed exploring Mexico City. Regarding Casa Kahlo (Casa Azul), we would like to clarify that the itinerary clearly specifies due to the museum’s limited capacity and strict ticketing system, interior access is subject to availability and advance tickets, which is why this is detailed in the tour description, itinerary and disclaimers to ensure transparency. We truly appreciate your understanding and your comments, as they help us continue improving communication and guest expectations. We’re happy to know that overall you enjoyed the experience and fell in love with Mexico City, and we hope to welcome you again in the future. Have a great day, Samantha Vibe Adventures Web: www.vibeadventures.com Email: logistics@vibeadventures.com Tel. 1: (+52) 55-8526-6910 (Mexico) Tel. 2: (+1) 20-1500-1310 (USA) Tel. 3: (+44) 74-4096-3840 (UK)

LOVED MEXICO CITY

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!!!!! I just returned from a 3-day private tour in Mexico City and can honestly say Sal is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had—an absolute 10/10. He went above and beyond every step of the way. Sal is incredibly passionate about Mexican culture, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. He was patient with all of our questions and kept each day engaging and fun. We visited all the major highlights of the city, but what really stood out was his ability to time everything perfectly—he knew how to avoid the crowds, making our time much more efficient and enjoyable. If you're visiting Mexico City and want a truly exceptional experience, I can’t recommend Sal highly enough. Don’t miss the chance to tour with him!

Great time in Mexico City!

Our group of five had such a great time touring Mexico City with Sal and Silvia. For my mom, who had some foot pain during our trip, having the pickup and dropoff at our Airbnb was very helpful. They were helpful, attentive and had lots to share! We customized our tour by replacing the standard Xochimilco tour with a chinampas tour including cooking lunch at a farm - that was our favorite day of the tour.

Amazing experience in Mexico City with a great guide!!!

In February, my family and I visited Mexico City for the first time and we had a great time together with Salvador, who was our guide for three days. A friend of mine recommended me Vibe Adventures because he used that company some years ago when traveling to Mexico and his experience was excellent. The itinerary was excellent from the very beginning and the destinations were amazing. But with Sal, the experience was even better! He was very knowledgeable, fun, accommodating and always on time. I'd highly recommend this company!

Don’t book a tour with this unprofessional, amateur set up

What a disaster! This was the most disappointing and amateur tour company I have ever experienced in any country. I booked a 3 day private tour for two people in July. The week before the tour in November I was told we could not visit Frida Khalo’s house as the tickets had sold out. When I queried why they had not been purchased in July there was no answer other than it was unfortunate. All I was offered was a full refund for the tour, which four days before meant we had no time to find anything else. We decided to carry on. Big mistake. The morning of our first day in Mexico the guide was meant to arrive at 9am. By 9.30 we had heard nothing. We then heard he was on his way but would be late as his grandmother had recently died and he had been at the funeral outside the city. 3 hours later he said he had arrived but had gone to the wrong hotel even though it was on our booking form and I had told him where we were first thing in the morning. He eventually arrived 3 and a half hours late. He was very apologetic and took us straight to the Anthropology museum. We had a good tour here and he was fairly knowledgeable. As it was now 5pm he drove us around downtown Mexico City but we didn’t stop to walk around or visit anything else. We were jet lagged so OK with that although obviously it was part of what we had paid for and if he had come on time we would have. Day two he arrived on time and we set off for our tour. We first had to get petrol though. He did try to get us into Frida Khalo’s house but to no avail. We saw her and Diego’s studio instead which was fairly disappointing (especially as the guide spent 10 mins in the bathroom on arrival so we did most of the tour on our own) and then after lunch set off to the canals. It was raining and very busy. We were told we would have to wait 20 minutes. After 20 minutes we were told there were still 12 boats in front of us and no sign of any coming back. We decided to give up and go back to our hotel. On the last day we had agreed to meet at 8.30 to go to the pyramids which was to be one of the highlights of our trip. The guide didn’t arrive and ignored our calls and messages. The Vibe phone number was unanswered as it was a holiday and there was no emergency contact. In desperation we asked our hotel to help and they arranged a car to take us to the pyramids and find us a guide there. We messaged the Vibe guide to tell him not to bother coming and he said he was on his way. He was 2 and a half hours late at this point so we told him not to bother. We asked Vibe for a full refund but they just gave us one day and barely any apology. The whole point of our trip to Mexico City was to see Frida Khalo’s house and the pyramids. And although we booked 5 months in advance this company did not even bother to book our tickets until it was too late and there were none. They sent us an unprofessional and frankly inappropriate guide who told us more about his private life than the history of the city and what we were seeing. We were driven in a 3rd rate and pretty dirty car. We wasted hours waiting for the guide who couldn’t understand why we were upset to be left waiting. At no point did Vibe seem to care or show any interest in how our trip was going even when we had messaged them for help when the guide didn’t show up. I urge anyone looking for a tour operator in Mexico to avoid this company. Luckily the other guides we had booked in Oaxaca and Merida were all professional and far more knowledgeable (with degrees in history unlike the Vibe guide who had started 3 degrees but never finished one and worked in retail before this role). Don’t risk this company ruining your visit to Mexico.

Operator response

Dear Fiona, Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback. We are sorry to hear that our tour could not meet your expectations - we will do our best to improve our services in the future. Meanwhile, please let us provide some feedback: - Since COVID, Frida Kahlo Museum has been offering a limited number of tickets per day which we were not able to secure in advance, thus a full refund before the tour was offered. - The guide you had, indeed, despite being certified, having 5 years of experience, and lots of excellent reviews before showed a low degree of professionalism during this particular tour which none of the personal circumstances he shared with you can justify. regards, Vibe Adventures’ team
