A fascinating time
"Prior to the day booked, Nalleli had to reorganize the visit as all museums were closed and our schedule did not allow for a change of date. On the day itself things just got more difficult as very large numbers of people were attending events in the city centre leading to our agreed meeting place being almost inaccessible behind security fences. With Nalleli's phone guidance we were able to meet up pretty quickly. Because of the circumstances and our peculiar needs we had to vary the programme as we went along. At all moments, we were impressed with her depth of knowledge and passion, placing all we saw in an historical context. We found our time intensely stimulating and recommend her unconditionally."

Best guide ever
"Mariel was by far the best guide we could have chosen. She was extremely knowledgeable and we got our fill of interesting stories about the history of Mexico City. My friend had some trouble walking and Mariel was completely flexible and rearranged the tour and slowed down the pace, yet we still saw a great amount and covered the rest with photos.
It was truly an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend!

Brilliant morning with Hilary
"We had a fantastic experience with Hilary on our “Highlights and Hidden Gems of Mexico City” tour. She arrived right on time and was so friendly, positive, and enthusiastic—it immediately set the tone for a fun and engaging morning.
Hilary is incredibly knowledgeable and showed us places we never would have discovered on our own. She was very perceptive to the needs of everyone in our group and adjusted the tour perfectly to suit us. Even though several spots were unexpectedly closed that day, she quickly adapted the plan and suggested ways we could visit them another time.
She truly went above and beyond—helping us navigate the metro system, even providing us with a card to get started. Her restaurant recommendations were excellent (we tried several and loved them!), and her communication throughout the tour was clear, engaging, and insightful.
It was the perfect introduction to Mexico City—helping us get our bearings in the central district while understanding how the city has evolved over time. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide."
