Mexico City - The guide worked very hard to make sure that everybody could hear her and that your questions were answered. Would recommend the trip for someone who is looking for a short inexpensive trip to look at the central part of the city. We went from here to experience three museums And dinner

Awesome downtown walking tour - This downtown walking tour was a great experience! Our tour guide, Daniela, was very knowledgeable and full of energy. It is important to keep up with the group as they can move fast and the tour guide has to cover a lot of sites. However, there'll be time to get a few good shots of the places you're visiting. Also, due to the enormity of history and culture in Mexico City that the tour guide has to cover in three hours, you may miss listening to some info (it happened to me), but if you're also doing other guided tours in Mexico City, they'll help you fill in the gaps.

Excellent Walking Tour - Emiliano gave an excellent walking tour of the Centro Historico area. He has incredible stores of knowledge and is a clear communicator, In the process of this tour, we learned a lot starting from the beginnings of Mexico City up to the current day challenges (water shortage, sinking buildings). I wished that we could have also taken his mural tour, that’s for next time.

Best Walking Tour—Best Guide! - Mariel was excellent!!! She shared history, culture, and current information about Mexico City and its Centro Histórico. She went above and beyond expectations for a walking tour. We’ve taken other walking tours in other countries, and Mariel’s has been the best one! Highly recommend this tour and Mariel as your guide.
