Very friendly tour guides, there is quite a bit of stairs and plenty to walk so take comfortable shoes
Thank you very much for your kind comment! Yes, that is correct — there are quite a few stairs and some walking during the tour, so comfortable shoes are always a great idea. We always try to go at a relaxed pace so everyone can enjoy the visit. We really appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again on another tour in Mexico. Best regards, Blanca Hernández Mexi Trips
I booked this tour hoping for a meaningful pilgrimage and it exceeded every expectation. Blanca was truly exceptional. She is everything you could ask for in a guide: knowledgeable, kind, patient, funny, and genuinely interesting. More than that, she brought such warmth and care to the experience that it felt less like a tour and more like being guided by a friend. She took me everywhere there is to see at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, including a hidden gallery of Marian folk art that I would never have discovered on my own. Her depth of knowledge and ability to share it in such an engaging and thoughtful way made the entire visit come alive. What I intended to be a pilgrimage, a holy journey, became exactly that, and more. It was not only spiritually meaningful, but also a beautiful expression of Mexican hospitality at its finest. I’m so grateful to have met Blanca, and I would recommend this tour wholeheartedly to anyone visiting Mexico City.
Dear Paulina, Thank you so much for your beautiful and heartfelt review. Your words truly mean a lot to me.

Moments like this are the reason I love doing what I do. I’m grateful for your kindness and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in Mexico in the future. Warm regards,
Our Lady of Guadalupe is very special to our family. I couldn’t believe I had the opportunity to see the Tilma with my own eyes! Blanca was great. She knew where everything was in the extensive grounds & the history. She was patient with us while we shopped and prayed at various places. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide for this special experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are truly delighted to hear that your experience visiting Our Lady of Guadalupe was so meaningful for you and your family. It’s wonderful that you had the opportunity to see the Tilma in person—such a special moment! We’re also glad to know that I made your visit even more special with her knowledge, patience, and guidance. We appreciate you choosing us to be part of this experience, and we hope to welcome you again in the future! Best regards,
