Whirlwind layover walking tour of Mexico City - Nicolas gave an excellent walking tour of downtown Mexico City. We had no knowledge of the city, so we just let him decide what to see. Nico arranged a walking tour from the modern business district to the ancient Zocalo. It was fascinating to see the history unfold in reverse order. Nico was very patient with a group of very tired gringos who awoke at 4 am to catch a flight from Mazatlan (eclipse viewing trip). We stopped for coffee to gain energy. The evening was capped off with a fantastic restaurant recommendation from Nicolas. We were very pleased with the trip!

Great layover tour - Ingrid was wonderful. We had a really fantastic experience on this layover tour. We loved the markets and making fresh guacamole at a local food stand was an extra treat.

Great way to spend a long layover - Fantastic day, instead of waiting in the airport I enjoyed learning a lot about Mexico City's historic center. David was a very knowledgeable guide and also lots of fun!

Perfect layover in Mexico City - Had a great walking/taxi/public transport tour with Ernesto! I was on a long layover so it was the perfect introduction to Mexico, a place I’ve always wanted to visit! (Picked up and dropped back off safely and comfortably at the airport) Ernesto was really cool, informative and accommodating before and throughout the tour, and I’m actually quite surprised at how much we managed to fit into the short time! His knowledge of the city and it’s history/culture was excellent and we had a great laugh taking it all in while trying some authentic (Albeit vegetarian- I’m veggie) tacos and the famous Mezcal!! Thanks a million!
