Central Mexico City Private Tour - Brenda was an amazing tour guide who really enjoyed showing us around her city. She was very courteous in asking us what we wanted to see during the tour and making certain all our questions were answered. Her historical knowledge is amazing and we appreciated seeing many hidden gems that we never would have found on our own. Well worth it!

Great walking tour - Great walking tour around Mexico City! We liked that it was personal and Rosa Maria, our guide, was able to educate us on the history of every area we went to, and able to answer almost every question we had. We were also given many tips on locals restaurants, areas to check out and able to tailor the tour as needed. Highly recommend doing it on your first morning in the city as it gives you a good idea of the best areas to visit and things to do.

Phenomenal tour with Rosa Maria - We had an absolutely amazing tour exploring the history and culture of Mexico City with Rosa Maria! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Her communication before the tour was proactive and helpful, making the meeting spot easy to find. Throughout our exploration, we had great talks—Rosa Maria is knowledgeable and engaging, and shared fantastic insights on local culture, history, and provided recommendations for the rest of our trip. She even offered to stop at an amazing taco restaurant along the way, which was the perfect authentic detour. Highly recommended!

Walking México City - Brenda, who is a student of Mexican history, really made the city interesting, from the opera house to the presidential residence and everything in between. A lot of walking—I did more than 10,000 steps that day. Good exercise!

An Unexpected Journey - We had a very interesting experience as there was a manifestation or demonstration that day called by the President of Mexico it was absolutely packed in the city center. We could not get to the meeting point, so our guide, Brenda, came to our rescue and got us, then took us through the subway to get to our starting point. She did a good job of showing us around even though it was a incredibly packed. Due to the crowds we barely made our flight back on Sunday, but it was worth it and a unique outing in el centro.
