Mr. Oscar Godoy Tour Guide!!! - First, this firm, Mexico A Pie, is very easy to book online and also contact via WhatsApp. I had made a date mistake booking a few weeks out and Ana (+52 55 1017 8875) was quick to make the change I needed, etc. and answer my questions.
Second, Mr. Oscar Godoy is an AMAZING tour guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and full of good/positive energy. My husband and I feel like we really learned a lot from Oscar during our tour of the Anthropology Museum. I highly recommend requesting Oscar Godoy when you book.
Third, we visited the Anthropology Museum our very first morning of a first-ever trip to CDMX. It set us up well for later tours of the Basilica of Our Lady and an Urban Art bike tour. I felt like Oscar's "tutorial" provided an excellent base for the rest of our visit.

Wonderful tour - Andres was one of the best guides we’ve ever had at any museum. He was passionate, interesting and knowledgeable about all aspects of the pre-Hispanic cultures in Mexico. Our time at the museum just flew by and we came away with a great appreciation of a portion of what this vast museum offers. We’d love to come back; there’s even more to see here.

Fabulous Mexico City Experience - We used Mexico a pie for several tours: Teotihucan, Luche Libre, Coyoacan/Frida Kahlo, and the Anthropology museum. This is an EXCELLENT tour company. The owners were wonderful and very helpful as adjusted our tour schedule. Our tour guide, Oscar, is fantastic. He's in incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about Mexican History and Mexico City. Our driver, Roman, was very professional. The company can also help you arrange for airport transfers. We had a wonderful time in Mexico City and Mexico a pie helped make that possible.

Oscar was superb! - Oscar managed to show us the history of Mexico from 2500 BC to when the Spaniards colonised the region, but also he talked to us about the whole Mexico region and not just the main central part.
He knows myths and legends. He gave honest answers and told us many of the dilemmas and different opinions of the various archaeologists and anthropologists. Despite it being 3 hours, our kids were entertained and Oscar had some jokes with them too.

A truly fascinating tour - Our guide, Oscar, was very knowledgeable and his passion for the subject matter made it come alive for us, as well. He was an excellent guide and, in fact, by the end of the tour, we considered him a friend. We recommend him very highly.
