Más de Mexico City! - Had a great time on the CableCar tour, Aaron was an excellent guide! We saw a lot of things we otherwise wouldn't have gotten around to: multiple forms of public transit, local market experience, pulque, and more. Learned a lot about the history and culture, and he answered all our questions. Highly recommend!

Amazing !!!! - Aaron was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Tour was great. Rode the metro and car cable, ate great food at a stop along the way and ended with some pulque. Highly recommend this tour if you want to learn about Mexico.

Great intellectual experience - Ramon was a delightful tour guide. The excursion led us through the subway & the blue line cable bus where we were treated to a local market and delicious lunch. Along the way Ramon explained many important historical facts as well as explanations of local culture & things important to Mexican people. Experiencing the city this way is highly recommended if you truly enjoy understanding the culture! Culmination of our little journey at Garabaldi square where locals hang out. We said cheers @ a pulqueria & said our fairwells then finished our day walking around Historic down town. Enjoyable person to meet, we sincerely loved the conversations!

Thank you Ramon! - Ramon gave us a personal and detailed new layer of knowledge about CMX. We were a small group of 5 friends with various interests. Ramon was warm and gave us a sense of walking and talking with a friend. He could answer our questions on history, politics, geology, culture and customs …. Travelling on transit and walking less touristed paths (we didn’t see another group all day) with someone that was proudly describing their home was a highlight of our time here. Food was great, drink was … interesting! Thank you so much, 10/10!

Great way to see more of CDMX - Highly recommend this tour! We had both +70 year olds and 7 year old and everyone got something from the experience. This really helps gather perspective of how large and diverse the city is. We would have never explored on our own and learned so much about the history and present day.

Amazing experience and great tour guide Cecilia! - I must say thanks to Cecilia who was very knowledgable and spoke both English/Spanish very well...for the amazing tour .All the places in the tour were interesting including travel by metro but obviously cablebus ride was the most enjoyable part..we had food in a local market in the Iztapalapa area and the local Mexican drink Pulque at the end of tour at Garibaldi ,both were very authentic ..I would recommend this tour especially with Cecilia any day ...

A cultural feast - From start to finish the tour was well executed. Cecilia gave an excellent introduction at the meeting location of what to expect and she delivered. She was not rushed and answered all our questions. Unlike routine tour of museums this tour presented an interesting cultural overview of real places and real people. Would definitely highly recommend.

Exploring the Metro - Its a personal Tour showing you a different side of your visit to Mexico city. He was friendly and attentive to sharing this other portion of the city with us. He was very friendly.

Didn't even go... - Didn't even do the tour as I got a message to say the tour is cancelled whilst I was waiting for the tour. I wonder if I hadn't had messaged would I have been informed the tour was cancelled??
