We had a very nice day with Nalleli. Nalleli is very knowledgeable about the history of Mexico and showed us many interesting locations we wouldn't have discovered on our own.
Beyond this, Nalleli is also just a very nice person and it felt more like spending a day together with a good friend. Thanks again for showing us around Mexico City.Such a nice experience with Nalleli

Yvan is an expert guide. He seeks your interests and opens you to many more adventures in Mexico than you could imagine. We spent two days with Yvan, getting to know the historic center and chapultepec park sites. We felt so comfortable sharing that time with him, learning so much of Mexico’s deep past and customs. We’d sign up right away for more tours w Yvan! You’ll love Mexico even more with Yvan!

We had an amazing tour! Laos was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to connect with. He made the experience feel personal, sharing not just the history and facts but also local insights that made everything come alive. The tour was well-paced, informative without feeling overwhelming, and full of fascinating details we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. To finish, he brought us to a great authentic food spot for tacos and a beer! Overall, it was a fantastic way to explore the city, and we’re so glad we had such a great guide to lead the way. Highly recommend!Amazing tour of Mexico City with Laos!

Me and my husband absolutely loved this tour. Al was punctual, very knowledgeable and gave us good tips about the museums and places we passed by but due to the time limitations couldn’t visit inside. For the weather in Mexico City could be hot it was a perfect format for us. We walked around historical city and got to know major places and its history. Highly recommend both Al and this tour. Great tour

I had a great tour with Laos in Mexico City. He customized the experience based on my interests, and since it was a religious day, most museums were closed — but he made the most of it by focusing on churches, landmarks, and, of course, tacos. His background in art really came through, and he was incredibly patient and knowledgeable throughout. I had asked to include some food stops, and he definitely delivered — taking me to a few local spots I never would’ve found on my own. Felt more like exploring the city with a friend than a guide. Highly recommend!Exploring Mexico City with Laos

We highly recommend this tour with Laos. He’s a delightful guide, very knowledgeable, & an effective communicator. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him & benefited greatly from his expertise. We got an excellent orientation to the Centro, visiting key sites & experiencing the beauty & excitement of the City, though the highlight for us was the murals in the Rodriquez market. We could never have done this on our own. He also gave us recommendations & directions for other places to visit. Book this tour - it’s great! Great Tour!

Al is an incredible local guide and I highly recommend him to any group. We are a family of 7 and we were hoping to get a sense of the history of the city as well as get some pointers about local museums and an insider’s view about some authentic places to eat. Al went above and beyond, answering all our questions and helping us to see the city from a new perspective. I can’t say enough about how kind and helpful Al was and we learned and saw so much more because of this tour. Thank you! 🙏 Incredible visit to Mexico City

Our tour was automatically reassigned to Laos a couple days beforehand. The tour was nice and he had a deep appreciation for the art and architecture around the Historic Center. Unfortunately, the museum we were supposed to visit was not open and we were not provided the local snack or drink that was supposed to be included in the package.
Laos can give you a deep look into the history and hidden murals around town, which was very interesting! He was on time for the tour and helped us better understand the city. Thanks Laos!

The first thing we learned about Al is that he's incredibly patient—we messed up the bus system and then our cab got stuck in horrible traffic. We had our two kids along, and he hit a great balance of interesting spots and topics for us and for them. It would have been a real shame to miss this experience. We got a local's background on nuanced history, architecture, and politics. He followed our lead in terms of next choices, and even answered a couple questions for us after the tour. Highly recommend!Deeply enriched our time in Mexico City
