Full-Day Private Tour of Mexico City: Teotihuacan and Xochimilco

David gave a very good and in depth tour, would definitely recommend booking with him. Gave a lot of good recommendations.

With David and Alex, both very kind, and one speaks English, making communication very easy. My advice for visiting Xochimilco is that these two are good guides. The place of Xochimilco is very peaceful, and we need to know whether we want many mariachis or not!!

It’s a tour for those of us who don’t have much time on CDMX to get to know each other as much as possible. You can visit everything that is promised. David really does his best to make the most of the time. With time to make stops to eat and even buy some souvenirs. Excellent disposition, attitude and service. Definitely recommended

If you're looking for a private tour experience that feels less like a guided excursion and more like exploring Mexico City with two incredibly knowledgeable friends, look no further than David and Alex. The six of us had an absolutely spectacular day, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. It started before we even got in the car — they overheard us mentioning we hadn't had enough coffee and immediately detoured to a fantastic coffee shop near our hotel. That small, thoughtful gesture set the tone for the entire day: these guys were paying attention and genuinely invested in making our experience great. From there, we headed out to Teotihuacan, where Alex proved to be a true fountain of knowledge. He wove together history, fascinating stories, myths, and the occasional "not-so-fact" in the most engaging and entertaining way. Never once did it feel like a rehearsed lecture — it was dynamic, fun, and left us wanting to know even more. Between the two of them, David and Alex have a remarkable depth of knowledge about Mexican history and culture that shines throughout the day. We had originally planned to go straight to Xochimilco after Teotihuacan, but we had some extra time and they turned that into a gift. After a conversation about what we enjoy, they recommended a couple of markets in the city first — a perfect call. They took us to an incredible taco spot inside the Mercado San Juan (do not skip this) and then on to the Mercado de Artesanías, where they helped us navigate like locals — making sure we found exactly what we were looking for, always steering us toward something interesting, and ensuring we never got overcharged. Savvy, fun, and completely stress-free. A special shoutout to David, who somehow discovered my husband's love of mezcal and proceeded to introduce him to what felt like every mezcal vendor in the market, resulting in an impressive number of free samples. My husband was delighted. I was amused. 10/10. When traffic to Xochimilco turned out to be brutal, David and Alex pivoted without missing a beat — suggesting an alternative area that turned out to be wonderful. Their flexibility and local know-how saved the afternoon and reminded us that being with great guides means you're in good hands no matter what the day throws at you. As if the day itself wasn't enough, they also sent us off with a whole list of restaurant recommendations for the rest of our trip — thoughtful, personal suggestions that made our remaining days in Mexico City so much richer. If you're visiting Mexico City and want a private tour that's thoughtful, flexible, deeply informed, and genuinely fun, book David and Alex. You won't regret a single moment.

David Espinoza made our Mexico City experience truly exceptional. What began as a planned group tour became a private tour as we were the only ones to sign up. Our trip to Xochimilco evolved into a full-day adventure when we casually mentioned our interest in Teotihuacan—David immediately offered to take us there that same afternoon, demonstrating the flexibility and enthusiasm that defined our entire time with him. His knowledge of both sites was impressive and comprehensive, but what elevated the experience was his gift for storytelling. David didn't just recite historical facts; he wove together the rich tapestry of Mexican culture through vivid anecdotes that brought ancient civilizations and traditions to life. Suddenly, these weren't just archaeological sites or tourist attractions—they became windows into the heart of Mexico's complex and fascinating history. Beyond his expertise, David's personality made the day genuinely enjoyable. He was professional yet warm, funny and engaging without ever being forced or performative. His natural charm created an atmosphere where learning felt effortless and fun rather than like a lecture. What made the experience particularly special was how David shared stories about his own family and upbringing. These personal touches transformed our tour from a transactional service into something much more meaningful—a genuine cultural exchange that gave us insight not just into Mexico's past, but into the lived experiences of its people today. For my two close friends and me, this day with David became the highlight of our five-day trip. If you're looking for someone who can turn a standard tour into an engaging, educational, and deeply personal experience, David is your guide.

Excellent tour and explanation of David. Above all excellent person who cares about his customers even in the smallest detail. A luxury. And definitely when I get back to CDMX I'll go through with the

We enjoyed our day tour of Mexico City and Teotihuacán archeological sites with tour guides , David and Hector. We had a good time exploring Mexico City early In the morning with the multiple stops to describe historic buildings and the Aztec ruins. The tour continued to Teotihuacan as we climbed the steep steps of the pyramids of the Sun and Moon temples. The temple of feathered serpent and water & fertility was the most fascinating. After a delicious local meal, we went to see the multitudes of pilgrims at the festival of Virgin Mary at the Basilica of Guadalupe. Then we continued a long walk through the quiet neighborhoods of Roma, Zona Rosa and Condesa. We wanted to thank our tour guides, David and Hector on introducing us to the local culture & vibe of Mexico City. This tour was about 8 hours including transportation to and from MEX airport long layover.

Top to bottom 5/5 experience and very reasonably priced for the private catering that the guides established for me. When they heard that I was flying in 5am (well before the tour start time), they moved up the start since I only had a full day layover. During the tour, I had Aeromexico flight delay issues, which David helped handle expertly with both his Spanish and his calm/competent demeanor. He was flexible to extend my tour time on the fly due to my extra time in the city and took me to some spectacular restaurants. I was able to see an amazing amount of the city in ~12 hours, and David's guidance was top-tier alongside his outstanding hospitality. He even brought in 2 specialist colleagues to help out on specific portions of the tour, which was going way above and beyond. I would recommend both Mexico City and David's tour in a heartbeat; it's amazing how much you can see and experience in a limited time! Thank you, David & Hector.

Excellent Service Overall. Comfortable and practical transport, the guide has a good deal and knowledge, I recommend it.
