Reviews of Our Mexico City Experiences

This tour was like being shown around by a friend. We saw lots of the city and enjoyed a few drink and snack stops. It was a lovely day out.

We had an amazing walking tour with Lando. We loved seeing some hidden gems we would have missed otherwise. Lando made us feel like friends rather than tourists. I would highly recommend taking a tour with him!

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.
