Excellent attention

I hired the service with Andrew on the same day, requesting that it be as soon as possible, and in less than an hour, I had the driver/guide at the door of my hotel. In my case, due to the unforeseen circumstances, I paid for the personalized service with pickup, and it lasted much longer than scheduled. Marco accompanied me, a very attentive, warm, and helpful person, very willing to do what I wanted and for as long as I wanted. Highly recommended!!! Thank you very much, Andrew and Marco.

A once in a lifetime experience

My family had an amazing experience touring the basilica. Roberto was a great tour guide and walked us through all the different sights and churches. We never felt rushed and saw all 5 churches in the allotted time. I was also appreciative of Epic Journey for providing the option to attend Mass at the new basilica. Highly recommend!

Private Tour worth it!

I booked a private tour for four people, two of which were in their early 70's. I wanted to be sure we went on our pace and not rushed. I am so glad I did, our guide, Gabriel, was FANTASTIC! He was very accommodating, knowledgeable and welcoming. I was so happy with the tour, he took us to places where I know I would have overlooked if I explored without a guide.

Well worth a visit!

Excellent tour, Victor was knowledgable, interesting and kind. I did not know what to expect and learnt so much in a short time. The Basilica and grounds are stunning, and inspiring.

Highly Recommend-Andrea was Wonderful

I had a truly wonderful experience visiting Basilica de Guadalupe. From start to finish, everything was seamless and thoughtfully handled. We were picked up right at our hotel, and our driver was incredibly cautious and professional, which made the entire journey feel comfortable and safe. Our guide, Andrea, was exceptional—so knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely kind. She brought so much depth and meaning to the experience, making the visit even more special and memorable. The entire tour ran smoothly, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience such an important and moving place. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mexico City.
