Lando was an amazing guide with lots of knowledge of the city. He was well traveled and had a great attitude as well! He knew lots of history and did a fantastic job customizing the tour for us.

Orlando was a great guide. Informative and professional. The best thing was that when he did not know an answer to a question… he found it out and did not just use Google to obtain the information. Highly recommended.

We spent the day with Roberto at the Floating Gardens. He shared the history of the area in an engaging way - no lectures, just great stories. He knows about archaeology and art, is well travelled, environmentally aware. In short, the perfect guide.

W are a group of young Americans who were visiting Mexico City for a vacation. We had Oskar as our tour guide for the Xochimilco Canals and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience! A must have to have a guide for this as our Spanish was not good enough to understand everything the boat driver said and it was amazing to have someone who was a history major, provide us with the context of what we were seeing.
