First of all Orlando was excellent with communicating his plane beforehand and being amiable with changes we wanted to make. His knowledge of Aztec and Mexican history was mind blowing. I would recommend him to anyone. He took all the photos and sent them to me. Unforgettable day.

Roberto was an excellent guide with insights and information only an archaeologist would have. He brought a level of intelligent discussion combined with a warm attitude and welcoming demeanor that made the afternoon and wonderful experience. He also suggested other things for our stay that we took his advice and made the overall Mexico experience that much more rich and rewarding. This is a must tour.
