⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic tour, absolutely worth it!
This was an incredible tour of mexico city and the tour guides are awesome and very knowledgeable and know what they’re talking about! I highly recommend this especially if it’s your first time in Mexico City
Sofia was such a cordial and passionate tour guide!!! The main square was blocked by protests so she did a fantastic alternative program!! I enjoyed it a lot!!; muchissimas gracias!!!
Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. They were very flexible as well with some challenges the day of our tour due to some protests and marches in the zocalo. So worth it to learn about the history of the city.
Great walking tour with Tadeo. We ended up being the only guests on the tour so we got to ask lots of questions. We learned so much about Mexican history and got to see all the major sites around the city. Great first day experience to get a lay of the land and learn about the culture and history.
Alejandro was great! We had so much fun and learned a lot. It was really interesting to learn about the history of the city. Thank you so much for an amazing experience!!!
If you are going to take a tour in Mexico City, truly, try to do it with Luis because it has been one of the best travel experiences I have had. You can tell from the first minute that he studied History and does not just repeat facts from memory: he explains absolutely everything with context, passion, and a tremendous amount of knowledge. Every corner, every building, and every anecdote comes to life with him. Moreover, something that makes a huge difference is how involved he is with the group. You can ask him anything—about history, culture, politics, architecture, or even local recommendations—and he always responds with a smile and an incredible eagerness to help you. He makes the visit super enjoyable, fun, and not at all tedious, even if it lasts several hours. I started by doing the tour of the Historic Center of Mexico City with him, and I liked the experience so much that I repeated it two more times: I also did the tour of Coyoacán and then the excursion to the pyramids of Teotihuacán. And honestly, each experience was even better than the last one. He has a way of telling the story that keeps you hooked the entire time. Thanks to Luis, I not only "visited" places, but I truly understood Mexico, its history, and its culture in a much deeper way. He is the typical guide who turns a good trip into an unforgettable journey. 100% recommended. If you can choose a guide, choose Luis without any doubt.
Took many Estacion Mexixo tours over 5 weeks in Mexico. All were excellent with enthusiastic guides who were great communicators.
Sofia always had a smile despite the rain; she explained everything to us with funny references.
We did a walking tour with Sofia. It was really great. She is lovely and joyful. She shared her knowledge about the history of the city and also some of her local experience. We were only 2 of us in this tour it was like a private tour. I recommend.
