Ernesto was a fantastic tour guide. He shared the history, culture and beauty of Mexico City with great knowledge and enthusiasm. It was as though an old friend showed us around his city as we walked, talked and got to know each other. Getting to experience Mexico City with Ernesto was an invaluable treat.

Ernesto went above & beyond to give us a great introduction to Mexico City, starting in the Centro Historico. He has a deep and nuanced understanding of the political history of Mexico, and also is keenly aware how culture (food, fine arts, architecture, literature, etc.) both influenced and was influenced by this history. And, to top it off, he's just a kind and generous person. 11 out of 10!
