Nico made the experience a really good one. He knows the city, the history and he is really a pleasant guide. We learned a lot about Mexico and we visited key hotspots.

What made the experience special was having such a knowledgeable guide who really knew Mexico City and Xochimilco inside and out. It made a huge difference to have someone who could easily navigate between locations, share the history and culture of both areas, and even introduce us to trusted local contacts, like our boat operator. I also appreciated learning useful local phrases so we could interact with people ourselves. The guide gave us great tips on where to get the best photos and experience the city’s nightlife. Overall, it was an amazing, well-rounded experience.

For our first visit to Mexico City, we were looking for a walking tour to give us an orientation to the city on our first day. Nico was our tour guide and he delivered! He met us near our hotel in Reforma and we explored the Centro Historica. He is super positive, friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed spending the day with him and learned so much in a short period of time. He gave us just the right amount of information about history and culture without overwhelming us as he showed us around so many key sights and took us to a few locals places to grab a snack and lunch. Highly recommend! Suggest 4-5 hours as there is a lot to cover so you can go at a relaxed pace and have time to stop for a snack and grab a bite to eat.
