A Great Intro to History & Arts
"Laos's clear and lively description of the Mexicas' (Aztec's) building of a great city on a lake seven hundred years ago, is a fascinating and absorbing. The way he took us around key spots in the Centro Historico of Mexico City, gave us a delightful impressionistic understanding of CDMX from 1320 to the present. He gave us a precis at each stop that covered the arts, the government, the politics, the customs, the economy, the industry, the great characters, the religion, and the struggles and civil wars within the city. Laos has an abundance of knowledge that he is delighted to share. He also has a fine sense of humor and he's also a really nice guy."

Yván is an excellent! Highly recommended.
"We had a truly wonderful experience with Yván as our tour guide in Mexico City. He masterfully blended outdoor walking tours with visits inside historic buildings, bringing the city’s history to life through rich architectural and cultural details. His knowledge is impressive, but what truly set him apart was the way he shared stories - engaging, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of Mexico City’s past and present.
Yván helped us notice details we never would have seen on our own, from architectural elements to historical moments embedded in everyday spaces. The tour felt personal, well-paced, and immersive, and we walked away with a much deeper appreciation for the city.
If you’re looking for a guide who is insightful, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable, Yván is an excellent choice. Highly recommended."
