We had a great time with Ernesto, getting an introduction to Mexico City. We covered a lot of ground in a short space of time and it is exactly what I wanted. Without the guide we probably would have wasted a lot of time walking aimlessly and not really understanding what we were seeing. Ernesto is offcourse very well versed in all topics of the city regarding history, politics, culture etc. We felt very comfortable hanging out with him and I felt more confident about navigating the city after our tour with him. He is also an excellent photographer , lol.

I am delighted to be able to wholeheartedly recommend Ernesto Gil at City Unscripted for your next tour of Mexico City. Ernesto is everything anyone would want in their guide. He is extremely knowledgeable of the history of Mexico City and its varied landmarks and sights. He knows architecture and art. He is also full of interesting anecdotes and information. Additionally and equally important, Ernesto is a delight to spend time with. He is personable and engaging. He is also flexible and quite capable and happy to adapt his very organized and prepared agenda to the preferences of his clients. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

The tour of Mexico City was amazing. I highly recommend booking with Ernesto. He took really great care of us, and made sure we got the most out of our trip. He even reached out ahead of time to tailor the tour exactly around what we wanted to do. During the tour, he was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and taught us so much about Mexico City's history, culture, and food. He even took us to some great places for tacos and drinks during the tour, and was a lot of fun to hang around. I plan on going back at some point, and will definitely be booking another tour, as we learned there is so much more to see than what you can squeeze in just a few hours.
