Excellent, unforgettable - This is definitely an unforgettable experience. I like the tales that George tells me. This tour gives me very special perspective to understand Mexico. Also, it is relaxed for me to walk around the Mexico City and talk with George. Anyway, if you want to know more about the city, you can choose this tour!

Great Tour! - Jorge was an excellent guide! He was very enthusiastic and told great stories. It was a great way to see the city and hear some lesser-known facts and legends.

Fantastic tour whether you just like history or ghosts or both - My partner and I love to do ghost tours since she loves the paranormal and I love the history. Jorge's tour gave us both and really was my favorite that we have done together as a couple. We mostly did it in Spanish, but Jorge would pause when he could tell I didn't know a word or concept. He was a professor and that emotional intelligence shows.
Since it was just us, he could tailor it more about our common interests and where his knowledge of Mexican and world history matched our own interest. He was also open to our own stories and anecdotes, which really made it a conversation as much as a guided tour.
Highly recommend!

Widely recommended - I liked his style and his way of expressing himself, his Latin English gives a special touch of originality and freshness to all your stories.
It's interesting how you got me into the New Spain Era.
The Legends that you shared with me: They were very interesting as well as reflective for the most part.
Thanks George, I promise I will recommend you!
