Excellent tour

I have been to Mexico City before, but on this tour I went to places I hadn't visited before and learned a lot. The tour was so good and enjoyable, and there was plenty of time to ask questions. Diego is super knowledgeable, friendly, and generous with his time and knowledge. I hope to come back next year with some friends and we will definitely take this tour!

Fantastic journey!

Diego is extremely passionate about his city and his tour creation. It was very informative and very eye opening. He went out of his way to show us things also based on our interest. We walked away wishing we could spend all day following him around. He is a treasure trove of knowledge and imparts it in a joyful way.

This tour should go the entire day!

There are so many beautiful murals and interesting history and architecture in Centro Historico ... I would suggest offering a 4-6-hour version of this tour to cover even more.

CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!

I feel incredibly lucky to have gotten to experience this tour! It was the first thing I did when I got to Mexico City…literally had not stepped foot in the centro before this. I had such an incredible time exploring the city with a guide who was able to illuminate the cultural and historical aspects that I otherwise would not have known. It was so special and helped me appreciate and connect with a very unique place. Since the tour, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about everything I learned and I’ve been sharing it with everyone I meet! I cannot recommend this tour enough!!

Excellent

Diego is a very knowledgeable, interesting, and passionate guide about the dark side of Mexico City. This is one of the best and most interesting tours I have ever been on. Highly recommended. I have been telling stories about what he showed me to friends back home.
