Wonderful the recreation was great
Renato was an excellent guide!! Very personable and knowledgeable. Very funny. Answered all our questions about the history. We learned so much. Also got some great food recommendations. Excellent time!!
Great introduction to Mexico City's rich history. Our guide, Renato, was engaging, informative, and entertaining. We happily paid $20/pp but apparently this walking tour is also offered elsewhere for free (gratuity only). Would definitely recommend!
The guide kept us moving and entertained while also giving our group a lot of great educational information. We felt better informed after this tour and more comfortable with this area of Mexico City. The guide's suggestions for further exploration and for food options turned out to be very good suggestions!
Absolutely recommend this tour! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and friendly! Taught us how to take a proper mezcal and tequila shot lol. Very informative. I’ll definitely be looking her up when i go back to Mexico City
Excellent tour but note entry to any museum in NOT INCLUDED. You need to buy tix on your own and palacio de Bella’s artes ticket are not sold on line.
The tour was perfect! I was able to see a little of everything which helped me to better choose where I wanted to spend more time solo. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and she spoke very good English which was important to me because sadly my Spanish is quite poor. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Helen was an excelent guide. We have been to CDMX several times, we still learned a lot. Highly recomend. .............
A very good overview of the historic district and Mexican history. Walked at a reasonable pace that we could all enjoy. One disappointment was the guide suggesting how munch we should tip her at the end. A tip was certainly appropriate but suggesting an amount was a little inappropriate to us.
Would highly recommend this tour. Learned a lot about Mexico City and saw some hidden gems I otherwise would not have known about. Belen is an excellent guide.
