This tour was amazing ! Perfect , and so very interesting !!! Ramon is the best and so smart with Mexican culture ! Claudia is the best driver in Mexico City ! This tour did not disappoint! The plaza in coyoacan is beautiful and food is amazing ! Again Ramon and Claudia , y’all are the best ! We loved Mexico City !!!
We had a great time with our guide Arturo and our driver Claudia. We especially enjoyed the Anahuacalli Museum and we didn't realize it was included. They were both very professional and friendly. Most importantly, Arturo had a lot of knowledge to share about Mexican history. We could not have seen all of the things we saw in one day on our own. The line at the Frida Kahlo museum was 2-3 hours but since we were with a tour we waited only ten minutes. I recommend it. Thanks again Arturo and Claudia!
Great experience. I have taken a lot of tours all over the world. We asked the guide to add a new stop at the end of the tour. She quickly made arrangements and made our request work. If you get a chance to do this tour, see if you can get the combination of guide Brenda Aburto and driver Lorena Martinez. Their expertise made this tour exceptional.
Wonderful made even better by our incredible Luis. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and amicable. We highly recommend Luis to anyone wanting an incite full experience in Mexico City. We enjoyed every aspect of this tour. Glad we went to Xochimilco first. It was beautiful and interesting. Coyoacan is a lovely area with many shops and restaurants. We felt safe. The Frida Kahlo museum was very interesting. Also the Diego Rivera museum was stupendous - a must.
