Great Tour! - Beautiful blessed place to visit and pray with family and loved ones! Guide was great in explaining historical background as well as symbols of the miraculous tilma as seen by the natives then. Most of all, guide was very patient with our needs and requirements considering the group had handicapped individuals with mobility issues but managed to finish the tour with no issues despite walking for several hours including uphill destinations. All worth it, really wonderful visit, wonderful tour and wonderful kind guide!

Exploring Guadalupe's Basilica with Yordi--a Day We Won't Forget! - From the time we were picked-up and greeted by our tour guide Yordi, a local to the DCMX area, my family and I were able to relax, learn a lot about a beautiful and significant site in Mexico's history--the Guadalupe Basilica--and have a wonderful time. Yordi is an exceptional tour guide: personable, articulate, and well-informed on all aspects of the Basilica and grounds. He provided us a beautiful day with many insights regarding the evolution of the Basilica through time, as well as insights about growing up and living in the DCMX area. By tour's end, we all felt that we'd made a new friend who provided an experience we will long-remember. We cannot recommend Yordi and the tour more highly. Thanks, Yordi, Viator, and Epic Journey tours!

Best memory of Mexico Visit - We had an incredible experience during the tour led by Omar. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable time. Omar was extremely flexible, and his English was excellent, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. His knowledge about the Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe and its surroundings was impressive, adding great value to the tour. What stood out the most was Omar's willingness to accommodate our request to return to a different point outside the original itinerary. He guided us through the Mexico subway, showing immense patience (had to take 3 trains to reach the destination) and dedication throughout the entire time he was with us. Omar's passion and commitment made the tour not just informative, but also very personalized and enjoyable. I highly recommend Omar as a tour guide and he deserves a 10 star rating for his exceptional service and hospitality. Thank you Omar for making our visit so memorable. With Love, Viji and Raj

Fabulous Tour with Fabulous Guide - Yordi was an excellent tour guide. Excellent English, very knowledgeable about the Virgin of Guadalupe village, and just a joy to be around. This private tour exceeded my expectations. I never felt rushed or that we lagged. Great pacing on visiting the different sites throughout the complex. Highly recommend.

Very knowledgeable guides! - Diego and Evelyn were great guides! They were very knowledgeable about the basilica and were flexible about how we wanted the tour to go. My group and I debated on whether to get a guide or walk the grounds ourselves, but were so thankful that we decided to go with a guided tour because Diego + Evelyn knew so much history about each of the buildings. They were also very kind and friendly. Thank you both for your time!

Beautiful buildings and very knowledgeable guides - Great tour, lots packed into a few hours. Our guides picked us up from our hotel and offered us a snack and bottle of water. During the ride we were given lots of information about Mexico city, then once we got to the church, the knowledge continued. No complaints with this tour, would definitely recommend.
