What travelers think of our Mexico City experiences

Adriana felt like more than a tour guide, from the moment we met Adriana outside our hotel we felt like we were walking with a friend we had known for a long time.

Lando was absolutely incredible! He truly brought the history of the ancient city alive. He went above and beyond to ensure we were engaged and learning while having a great time. He volunteered to take SO many pictures and videos, which are all really special to look back on. Sometimes it’s tough to get pictures of the two of you when traveling as a couple, so it was very considerate of Lando to make sure we had all we could want. He ended up recommending a taco place that was one of our favorites of the trip, and picked us up and dropped us off exactly where needed. His knowledge is off the charts and really filled in the gaps. Teotihuacan is a place where you really need a guide to get the most value, and Lando delivered and then some. Thank you!!

We had limited time in Mexico city so we opted for a personal tour with Roberto. We were very grateful for his generous time. He was very patient, knowledgable, a great sense of humor and in general a joy to spend time with.

Mirasol was an incredible host. I planned the trip and the experience because of the true customizable manor of the day. I'd booked it as a "private tour" but had a photographer and her assistant join as well as I'd planned to propose to my now fiance on the trajinera ride! Mirasol not only went above and beyond to make sure we were all in the right place at the right time but actually herself got us a mariachi to help us celebrate the moment on the trajinera after. It truly couldn't have been a more special day and when my photographer friend and her assistant had to leave she then took my fiance and I around the rest of the Xochimilco area teaching us the history, trying street food, helping us shop at the market. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

An absolute must in Mexico City. Marisol's passion for the city is contagious. We learnt so much about Mexico City and the culture. We also had the most amazing food and company. Mexico and Marisol have a special place in our hearts.

We had an awesome 6 hour tour with Marisol! We had a 28 hour stopover in Mexico City and wanted to see as much as we could during the day. The tour is extremely customizable and we were able to select everything we wanted to do and see based on our interests. We even needed to make a quick stop to the doctor and pharmacy and Marisol helped us with that and we greatly appreciated her kindness and patience. Marisol was very knowledgeable and her passion for her culture and hometown really shows. We ate some amazing street food and other treats and also got to see a lot of things during our one day in Mexico City. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour again and I highly recommend Marisol as a guide.
