Such a great tour! Diego’s knowledge and cultural expertise provided us with a well spent 3 hours. At the conclusion of the tour, we have far better understanding of Mexican Heritage and Culture. The experience is worth every peso. Next time in Mexico City, take time to tour with Diego’s Cultural Tour. You won’t regret it. ES.
Lovely tour with lots of interesting information about Mexico City’s history and architecture. It covers a cursory overview of many aspects of the main place in historical centro and zocalo areas…even to give you an indication of what places/museums you want to revisit. Our guide Ana was very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend
Delta, our guide, was very personable and nice. We started at the Diego Rivera Mural Museum which summarises 400 years of colonial history in Mexico. That explanation provided a great context for what we were to see later. She also manged time very well so that we covered all planned places. A word of caution> do not expect in-depth visits of any of the destination; each of them would require the entire duration of the tour or more.
Ana was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide who gave us a great overview of the City on our first day here. Highly recommend.
My family really enjoyed this tour . Jorge is an excellent guide - very knowledgeable with a good command of English .
Excellent tour. Great Natalia with her clear and deep explanations. A perfect synthesis of history, art and culture. The VR experience was the golden snap.
Diego was the most wonderful tour guide! First - he came to find us as we were completely turned around! He was so knowledgeable and earnest in what he was teaching- he really seems to love his job! He had to flex with where we could go because of a protest in the city seeking more rights for teachers- which he did gracefully! He did his best to ensure we got as much as possible from the tour! He is such a special person - he ensured our Uber driver took good care of us! If u can request him- you should!
Absolutely amazing tour with León! His history, knowledge and details for the city made it such an enjoyable tour! We saw everything we wanted to see and left with understanding the rich history of Mexico. I would highly recommend this tour and you would be very fortunate to get León as your guide!
We went on the "Walking tour in the historic centre" and the "Private tour through secrets of Teotihuacan" from Educando con Cultura, and would highly recommend both! Our guide Delta was great! She was really friendly and enthusiastic, and happy to answer all our questions. We learnt so much about the history of Mexico City and today's culture. Five stars! Another positive for us was that the trip to Teotihuacan was just that, we weren't taken to any souvenir shops or mezcal tastings which many other trips from other operators appear to do.
Excellent tour guided by Diego. Tour begins at the Diego Rivera Mural Museum, which lays the foundation of the very rich history of Mexico. The tour through the historical section of Mexico was amazing culminating at the Templo Mayor ruins. All along Diego was extremely informative, responsive and personable. We recommend this tour highly.
