Only wish I had booked a longer tour! - Really really excellent walking tour. This isn’t your usual “I’ve learned a few interesting tidbits of Mexican history” walking tour. Francisco is a very brilliant and knowledgeable guy, was happy to answer questions from all of us, tailored the trip to what we hadn’t already seen and was incredibly informative. I wish I had booked a longer tour! He is a super thoughtful guy. Really couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Like Spending an afternoon with a friend in Centro Historico - Spending 4 hours with Francisco walking in El Centro de CDMX was like spending a wonderful afternoon with a very knowledgeable friend. He was informed and talked about historical facts and their political ramifications. He was curious about each of us three as human beings and asked good questions, integrating his narrative to our interests. He brought his love of and knowledge about poetry to the poets and artists whose work we viewed in various exhibitions. And last but not least, we went to his favourite taco shop in Mexico and introduced us to Aztec tacos! He gets my top rating!!

Francisco was a great... - Francisco was a great tour guide, who speaks very good English. He communicated with me before our trip even started, and the tour felt very personal. We enjoyed his dialogue and knowledge of history. I would recommend scheduling this tour early in your trip, as he also provided recommendations for food, culture, and sightseeing for the rest of our stay.

Our private tour with... - Our private tour with Francisco was absolutely incredible and easily the highlight of our time in Mexico City. He brings a level of insight, nuance, and storytelling that transforms a simple walk through the city into a rich and unforgettable journey. What stood out most was how he wove together history, culture, politics, and personal anecdotes with clarity and depth. He doesn’t just show you the landmarks—he helps you understand the layers of meaning behind them, the stories you’d never find in a guidebook. You can feel how much he loves and understands this city. Francisco was warm, engaging, and completely tailored the experience to our interests and pace. He welcomed all of our questions and made us feel like we were exploring the city with an old friend. If you want more than just a sightseeing tour—if you want a meaningful, intellectually stimulating, and truly personal experience—don’t miss this tour with Francisco. It was an honor to spend time with him, and we left inspired and more connected to Mexico City than we ever expected.
