My reviews

Alejandro was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Mexico City. We began with the history of the city, beginning at ground zero (where the historical, pre-Colombian) beginnings of the city origins. We visited an archeological museum, then Alejandro, went the extra mile to review additional archeological findings around town. Next, we walked through the colonial historical neighborhoods, and markets, all the while getting more architectual knowledge along the way. Alejandro was especially effective in connecting the historial city to its evolution into the modern city we see today, including the historical persons involved. Extremely thorough and comprehensive, I am so much smarter now, then I was this morning, before I went on the tour with Alejandro. Bring comfortable walking shoes - you'll get plenty of steps in!

It was a fantastic tour. Alejandro was a fantastic guide. I learned so much from him about the culture and history of Mexico and how much Mexico City developed and was shaped in more recent centuries. Alejandro also made some restaurant suggestions which I will try. In short, I loved it. Would definitely recommend him! Thank you so much!

Alejandro was friendly, knowledgeable and and a wonderful first exposure to Mexico City! He helped to ensure that everything we wanted to see was accommodated, even some very off the beaten path requests.
