Amazing and Unforgettable Experience - This tour was the most interesting and educational activity that I did in Mexico City. I still think about the places we went and saw over a year later. The tour gives a whole different perspective on Mexico City that 99% of tourist and visitors experience.

I would rate this... - I would rate this experience as an absolute must-do when visiting CDMX, especially with our guide, Fernando. He is immensely knowledgeable of the history and current state of the city. He makes sure to give everyone in the group attention and is genuinely curious on our backgrounds and reason for stopping by CDMX. I'd say overall the experience is a bit fast pace but if you can keep up, you'll reap the reward of learning much about Iztapalapa, its residents, and the cable car system.

Fun & Unique! - What a unique and fun way to explore and experience CDMX! We learned so much and had the best time soaring over the city spotting all the amazing murals. We really enjoyed seeing how locals go about daily life as we walked through the different areas outside of the city center, as well as learning about the history and culture of this diverse and beautiful city. Thanks Fernando!

Something beyond the typical tourist spots! - Fernando was an outstanding guide for the “Fly Over to the Unexplored Parts of CDMX by Cable Car” experience. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about sharing a different side of Mexico City. The cable car ride itself was unforgettable, offering incredible views and a unique perspective of neighborhoods and murals you wouldn’t normally see. What made the experience special was Fernando’s local insight. He made everything feel safe, engaging, and meaningful, giving us a deeper understanding of the city’s culture and daily life. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to go beyond the typical tourist spots!

Great Intro - Great way to get a perspective of the size of the City as well as the geography. In addition this tour shows the everyday commute and life of the millions of residents who call Mexico City home. If you want to see the real Mexico City this is the tour to take. Includes learning the transportation system, walking in parts of the city where no tourists go together with amazing aerial rides over roof murals.

A fun morning with Fernando- - Bring great walking shoes and some pesos, the coin version, if you may need to utilize the bathroom. Fernando has a wonderful way of explaining everything in an order where each new piece of knowledge builds on one another , while at the same time making everyone fierl welcome within the group.

Hidden Mexico City is worth the effort - Fernando is a fantastic ambassador and is able to effectively communicate the complex threads of history, sociology and culture of Mexico as we used public transportation as a means of better understanding the city. Highly recommend!
