The pick up and return to our VRBO was great. If it's sunny, bring a hat or umbrella. Wear comfortable walking shoes and layered clothes if it is cool in the morning. Our guide, Andrea, was super knowledgeable and detailed. We are glad we had her as our guide.

The tour was perfectly organized - pick up and transfer - perfect! Tour guide was very boring and his English was pretty poor. I consider it waste of money. I was in Mexico City before and had tours around the town. So far this one was the worst.
Thank you for your review. We regret that you did not enjoy the tour with guide Victor. His knowledge of Mexican history is truly extensive, but we will certainly work on his dynamism and attitude for a more enjoyable tour.
Roberto was friendly but was not able to provide much information on the history of the city or of the sites we visited. I am not sure if this is because he was not proficient enough in English, or if because he didn’t have enough knowledge (or both). The actual walking tour was only 1.5 hours long because of this. We were very disappointed.
Thank you for the review. We regret this negative experience with our guide Roberto, with whom we have already spoken, as we know he has extensive knowledge of the history.
Well organized. Knowledgable and personable guide. Adaptable based on our interest. Perfect for short time available

We had a lovely evening downtown. Our guide was very personable and had interesting information. We saw a few places we would not have seen on our own.

The tour guide, Diego, was really great, he deserves five stars on his own. However, the company seemed very new at this, and was not good to deal with. My tour was on Christmas Eve, and they asked if I wanted to purchase extra time and entry tickets to go into different locations, so I said yes, and then when the tour guide arrived, he let me know that most things were closed early because of the holiday, and that I wouldn’t be able to go into all the places. I said that was fine as long as I got a refund of the money, which he assured me would be no problem, however, while the company said they would give me a refund, they said they were out of money right now, and would have to give it to me when they had more in. It wasn’t until I threatened to make a complaint with Viator that they had the money back to me within a few hours. It’s unfortunate that I can’t give a higher rating for the tour guide, but I would recommend not booking with this company.

Great tour to understand fundamental history of the city. Our tour guide was great. Knowledgeable and answered all questions and gave details. The only thing and not tour fault the cathedral and ruin were blocked by Government for protest.and zocalo was full of market stands that took away the feel of what this site was all about. .

This was an amazing tour of the central city around the square. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with our group. The driver was also safe and timely. I’d highly recommend.
