Knowledgeable and Kind Tour Guides

Thanks to the World Cup, and unbeknownst to us (and apparently our Uber driver) Ave de la Reforma was closed!!! When we saw traffic was not moving, we contacted our guide, and got out of the Uber to walk. But we still missed the bus. But the tour guide left someone to meet us, and bus us to the last meeting point. We are very thankful for that!! Our tour guide Ilse was very knowledgeable, and very attentive to everyone’s needs. She was especially kind to stand by and offer a hand, if needed, as my husband and I walked up and down the uneven steps.

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the road closures caused by the World Cup events. We’re very glad we were able to coordinate an alternative pickup so you could still join the tour. It’s wonderful to hear that Ilse made such a positive impression. Her knowledge, attentiveness, and genuine care for our guests are qualities we value greatly. We’re especially happy that she was able to assist you and your husband while exploring the archaeological site. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back on another adventure in Mexico in the future!

Very good guide.

Jair and Rubén are very kind, knowledgeable, and explain in detail. Sometimes you have to walk very quickly, so if you are with older adults, it can be a bit demanding. Other than that, 10/10.
