This was a highlight of our 9 day trip in Mexico City. The guide, Alicia, was fantastic! She was informative, friendly, and accommodating. Be sure to have cash - elote and drinks! There are also lots of venders, so change and small bills are preferred. Don’t forget 5 pesos for the restroom. I highly recommend this tour. If I had to be picky on what I’d change- I would have liked more time to check out the shops. We only had about 20 minutes there, but more than an hour for lunch where there was nothing but the restaurant. Food was fine, but nothing special. I gave this trip 5 stars, but that is because 4.5 wasn’t an option.

Our tour was through Amigo Tours. We did the English speaking tour with Gersan, and it was great! He was so fun and knowledgeable. He had many facts and interesting points about each place we went. The tour was timed perfectly throughout the day and the bus was very nice and had a washroom on board which is helpful with the long day. Our daughter enjoyed the tour very much at 9 years old. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Mexico City more. We were able to include the Frida Khalo museum which was a highlight for our family as we are very interested in her work and her story. Thank you for a great day!

This was a fun experience overall. I thought it would be a smaller group but it was a full tour bus, which was actually quite comfortable. We saw all the sites, had plenty of time for sight seeing and learned a lot from our your guide. And the restaurant was really tasty too!

Took the tour with Emmanuel and Moises. It was a great experience! Emmanuel was very knowledgeable about Mexican history and art, which added to the experience.

Our tour guides were excellent. This tour is a must if you visit Mexico City.
