"On our first full day in Mexico City, my family met up with Mabel for the 3 hour walking tour of Centro Historico. She shared her historical knowledge and passion for the city with us. Mabel is kind, generous and resourceful. We recommend using Mabel for any tour in and around Mexico City!
We choose to spend another day with Mabel touring Teotihuacan, the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe and it's surrounding area. That was a full day adventure that turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit to Mexico City!"
"We were expecting a tour of different types of tacos in parts of Mexico City, but got so much more than that from our couple of hours with Mariel!
In addition to sharing the rich and varied history of tacos and their significance to Mexicans, Mariel shared some really valuable insights into the culture of the people, snippets of history and some personal experiences/anecdotes. The taco tasting was amazing and it was great to hear the history and personal stories behind what you see on the streets.
We also really loved the way Mariel used the time on the tour to highlight the role of women in the cuisine and culture of Mexico City.
Absolutely worth the price, thanks again Mariel and best wishes for the future!

Amazing time wirh a super cool host!
"Laos was wonderful. We asked him for some specific things to cover on our tour and he designed a great experience for us, including some hidden gem murals above a city market. He also gave us a great restaurant recommendation. Would 100% recommend anybody to do a tour with Laos!"
"Al was a great guide of Coyoacan. He took us through the markets, scenic tree lined streets and pointed out some places to eat. More importantly, Al is very personable and treated us like good friends. Well recommended."
"We were privileged to have Chris as our guide for the day. I would highly recommend him in a heartbeat. Right from the get-go he was full of energy and set things off on the right tone. As we walked through the historic district (and beyond) he always had a story to tell. “Use your imagination” he would say and then launch into details of history combined with story telling. He was awesome. We wanted to learn about the city’s past yet gain some insights into its present day about what to see and where to eat and drink. Chris delivered on both counts. You won’t go wrong in picking him as your guide… Please do. You won’t be sorry. "

Amazing Tour, Amazing Tour
"Victor was an incredible host who brought an artistic perspective as he guided us through the city. He did an amazing job of weaving all of the art, culture, architecture, and history of the city into a single narrative of CDMX. He was knowledgeable and conversational, and he did a great job of engaging our kids (7 and 10). Would highly recommend Victor to everyone. And we have been recommending him to everyone since the tour."
"Mariel was an excellent guide. We had a great time, learned a lot, and got everything we hoped out of the tour and more. I would highly recommend her to anyone else"
"I contacted Luz and asked her to set up a custom tour for me. I wanted to find some handmade jewelry to bring home for gifts. She took me through the artisan market and helped me find every last item on my list.
We then took a stroll to try an amazing Gordita and finished off with a lovely walk through the historic central area of Mexico City.
She’s knowledgeable about the area, had interesting facts about everything we saw and went out of her way to make me feel welcome and comfortable, which is no small feat.
She even walked me to a good spot to catch an Uber and waited with me until I was picked up. I felt looked after from start to finish.
It was a great time and a lovely cap on what was already amazing trip. Highly recommended. Great guide, better person. Thank you!"
"We loved our tour with Mariel. It was a perfect first day activity to help us orient ourselves and understand this awesome city. Mariel was willing to answer all our questions that went from simple to complex and provided a very thoughtful response. "
