Roberto was a very informed and passionate tour guide. We learned so much and it was a great experience. We highly recommend.

Booked this tour pretty last minute for my BF and I and so glad I did! We were matched with Roberto and he was so knowledgeable, cool and kind! We really ran with the "personalized" aspect of this tour and Roberto was super accommodating to what we were interested in seeing/doing/learning. Could not recommend this tour and Roberto enough if you want some help maximizing your experience in CDMX! We visited all the places we wanted to visit and learned SO much!

We had such a great time with Roberto. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly and fun. He showed us around a city he truly loves… we’d not been here before, so great to see the best a new place has to offer, especially through the eyes of a long time local. We would highly recommend requesting Roberto, you’ll have a great time!

First of all Orlando was excellent with communicating his plane beforehand and being amiable with changes we wanted to make. His knowledge of Aztec and Mexican history was mind blowing. I would recommend him to anyone. He took all the photos and sent them to me. Unforgettable day.
