Excellent Walking Tour of Centro Historico - Belen, our guide, radiated joy and enthusiasm and warmly greeted us. It was like meeting an old friend. Gracias! There were only 4 in our group and we felt like it was a private tour. She took us on a brisk journey from the Aztec ruins near Zocalo up to Palacio de Bellas Artes, bringing us in to the 20th Century. Not only did she hit the highlights of history as we moved along, but also made sure we were introduced to tacos al pastor and posole and traditional Mexican confections. We had an interesting conversation about government and political issues as we waited on a traffic light because one of our group wanted to know about the political posters that are everywhere in anticipation of July elections. She was tactful but answered our questions. Often the best parts of a tour are the impromptu moments in which we are talking with each other. I would happily take this walk again with Belen the next time I'm in Mexico City. She is very knowledgeable, but makes the information fun. When the tour was completed, she patiently helped me figure out how to turn large denomination currency into smaller bills and encouraged me to head to a bank. Good advice! Great tour - I highly recommend it!

Best tour of Mexico City - Belen was outstanding. She had historical information that was so relevant, interesting and well explained. She took us to some unique places that weren't in the guidebook such as the oldest candy store and the original post office which is still in use. Best tour by far and for a very good price. Don't miss it.

Perfect historical centre tour - I joined Belen for the walking tour and ended up being the only one there so bagged a private tour! She was so lovely, knowledgeable and passionate about the city and it’s history, and gave just the right amount of information to absorb. Saw all the landmarks plus a few hidden gems. Highly recommended!

Belen gave us a fantastic overview tour of Mexico City. - Belen gave us a fantastic overview tour of Mexico City. It was clear she was knowledgeable and cares greatly for her country and city. I loved hearing about Mexican traditions and her own families. I also really liked seeing the Diego Rivera murals in the Public Education Department. I highly recommend this tour and going with Belen. We were a little late because of traffic and she kindly texted and waited for us.

Exceptional walking tour! - We had an amazing tour with Belen in the historic center of Mexico City. She was extremely knowledgeable of the area and history and made the tour interesting and enjoyable! It was so great, we also did a walking tour with the same company in the Coyoacan neighborhood. Sara was also a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. I highly recommended this company to help enrich your visit to CDMX!!!
