Alex was the perfect toy guide for our Mexico City adventure! His deep knowledge, warm personality, and hilarious sense of humor made the tour unforgettable. All six of us had an absolute blast—he kept us laughing, learning, and fully engaged from start to finish. Whether he was sharing quirky toy trivia or cracking jokes, Alex made the experience feel personal and fun. Highly recommending Alex to anyone visiting Mexico City and looking for a guide who’s smart, friendly, and genuinely entertaining!

Roberto is an awesome guide filled with great history and insights. We really enjoyed our tour and felt like we got a glimpse into Mexico City. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting. We booked a four hour tour to be sure we had time to see the highlights and I still feel like we only scratched the surface of everything there is to see and do.
