Best Tour Ever!

Fabulous tour of the historic center. This was a tour of a lifetime and I’ve taken many and travelled the world. You can’t go wrong with Frida Tours. The guide was so impressive with her knowledge of history and culture. Definitely not some brief scripted information. I was able to see everything I wanted and even had lunch upstairs in the Grand Hotel and rode the beautiful elevator to get there. Definitely, book your tour of the historic center through Frida Tours. You won’t regret it!

Fun, professional, and super cool local insights!

I've done multiple tours with this agency because they offer genuine and local insights off the beaten path! You get a great mix between the most touristy places and less crowded and known spots, which brings a unique experience. Gabriela has been my tour guide, and she is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and takes care of her customers. Mx City is a true jewel, but this tour agency brings it to the next level! Would totally recommend!!
