My reviews

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hour tour with Lando who brings a wealth of historic knowledge to the experience. He knows everything from the ancient pre-Spanish cultures through the. Colonial period and the establishment of the republic. We also enjoyed the many hidden gems he showed us along the route and will be going back to explore more of this area in future days. A truly memorable and worthwhile experience.

Lando was superb. Local, knowledgeable and a great spirit. He planned a simple itinerary (per our request) to accommodate our family - age ranges 10 to 84. We walked, learned and (ate our way through the neighborhoods) as Lando pointed our history and places we should try tacos or have a coffee. Highly recommended!

Lando was an excellent tour guide. Not only did he make the tour interesting, but he tried to help us with our entire trip to CDMX. I highly recommend him.

I had everything I wanted during the personal guided tour with Lando. I enjoyed learning about the history behind the landmarks we visited. Lando brought the past to life with his insights of history, geography and topography. I took this tour prior to the Anthropology museum & pyramid tours. Lando taught me so much that I could see in pieces at the museum and pyramids the stories he taught me. Lando was so easy to learn from and his explanations and stories are easy to follow. Above all else, following the 3 hour tour, Lando looked after my wellbeing when my route home was cut off by a protest. He stayed with me another 45mins and let me tether his internet so I could uber back to my hotel; He could be a professor at a university and he was right there guiding me around CDMX and ensuring my safety. I was solo and he took so many great photos of me around CDMX that my friends and family greatly appreciated viewing. Lando is the very best guide I could have asked for!
