Great trip to the other side of Mexico City

Oscar was showing us the other end of Mexico City. He was entertaining, knowledgeable and made the trip worthwhile. We had a great time and learned a lot about the country and the people. We enjoyed also the visit to the food market.

Muy recomendable

Julián hace un recorrido que te permite situarte y entender tanto el pasado como la actualidad del centro histórico con pinceladas súper interesantes de la ciudad/el país en general. Todo explicado de manera clara y amable

Outstanding tour with Estreyah!

Estreyah was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the city and the country as a whole. She walked us to the most important landmarks in the center and brought each one to life with interesting stories and personal insights. We were blown away. She didn't just share facts, she was right on point and genuinely fun to listen to. The almost 2.5 hours flew by. The microphone was also a great touch, because even with all the noise around us we could hear every word.
