This tour is fantastic! While it is a longer day covering the three different locations it is definitely worth it. Charlie and Ali were great guides, going above and beyond to help us out. They had amazing knowledge not only of the sites we were visiting but also of the history of Mexico & Mexico City generally, as well as great tips for a lunch spot and local specialities to try. Being a private tour they have great flexibility in allowing you to spend more or less time anywhere as you wish and our guides were very friendly and fun. Highly recommend for a great day!
