Amazing off the beaten path experience - Fernando was amazing, I was lucky enough to get a private tour and it was one of the best things I have done while traveling! Fernando is knowledgeable and engaging and I have learned loads and had fun as well. The neighborhood is off the beaten path and the experience is really special. I would recommend it to everyone

Best Tour! - We had an amazing time on Fernando’s tour Fly Over Unexplored Parts of CDMX by Cable Car! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The whole experience was incredible — we loved every single stop along the way, and the food was absolutely delicious. Fernando is a fantastic guide: entertaining, knowledgeable, and very easy to understand. He provided great insights that really helped us appreciate Mexico City in a new way. This was truly a 5-star experience that exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting CDMX and would definitely do it again!

Great tour! - We recently went on the cable car tour and it was great! We were traveling with two small children and unfortunately had to deal with lots of stairs for the tour. However, our tour guide Fernando was very helpful and accommodating and even helped carry the stroller throughout the tour. He was very knowledgeable and gave just enough information without overwhelming us- would definitely take this tour again!

Fernando was a great... - Fernando was a great guide. As a former teacher, he has a lot of knowledge and interesting facts to share about Mexico City, and he did a great job making us feel welcome and comfortable on the tour. The experience he's put together is incredible for getting to know another side of Mexico City beyond the typical tourist highlights. If you're looking to experience the city "like a local", don't skip this tour. You'll get to learn how to take the metro (which is super helpful for your stay), ride the cablebus, eat tacos from a local market, and learn about the culture and history of one of the biggest neighborhoods in Mexico City. The tour gives you a deeper understanding of this massive city and an appreciation for its people and culture. Highly recommend!

Do it. Don't miss it!!! - I had an excellent experience, and since the other people who had booked this activity didn't show up in the end, I had a private tour. Highly recommended; the guide was also very knowledgeable.

The Importance of Community! - This tour with Fernando, born in Mexico City, was very meaningful. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the focus of this tour, which is exploring heavily populated Iztapalapa, a not often explored community in Mexico City. As an elementary teacher, I appreciated learning about the mayor supported Utopia program(s), which support the Iztapalapa neighborhoods through inspiring hope via access to sports, cultural resources, and providing social, academic, and emotional services! This tour is active so It is important that you are physically able to go up and down stairs and walk at a quick pace. You will be traveling on the METRO (subway) and the CABLEBUS.
