Family friendly tour

Ari was a wonderful guide. He took care to explain history and make sure we were enjoying the trip. He also showed us the best spots to eat and stopped with us for a few treats along the way. Our children, ages 9 and 11, really enjoyed the tour as well.

Great tour with Diana

We had a great tour with Diana. She is very knowledgeable about the centro historico. The day of our tour there were protests downtown which made getting around difficult but she managed to get us in to the Zocalo. Highly recommended!

Was wonderful!

Our tour guide was "Galy" and she was pretty cool! She was very kind and understanding. We were traveling with my elderly uncle and she was patient. She knew about the details of all the larger buildings and even about other smaller details. It was great!

Greatly Helpful and Insightful

Our tour guide was Galy. She was pretty cool. I wish my brain could retain all the information with details that she shared. We were traveling with my older, slower uncle and she was very patient. She shared many many details of the larger buildings as well as details from other things that we would not notice otherwise. It was great!
