Our guide, Lando, was very knowledgeable about culture, religion, architecture, and, his main interest, history. We wanted a general overview of all these subjects as we had very little time in Mexico City. And he satisfied our request. He also was methodical about his planning so that we did not get stuck in tourist crowds. I.e. knowing when to start where before the crowds. Highly recommend Lando.

I thoroughly enjoyed my day tour with Marisol! It was very educational and also so nice to socialize with her about the city she loves so much. We did a lot in 4 hours and also went at an enjoyable pace. Marisol made my personalized tour of Mexico City very special and unforgettable!
