It would be great if Yván invested in a couple of newer bikes that had seats that could adjust to a person’s height. He could charge a little more and the ride would be more comfortable. Also, it would be nice to visit a place - either the market or a museum in the area. It would break up the biking and I believe that tourists would like to visit indoors and get a tour, especially if they are spending the time to travel down to this neighborhood. Nice way to explore Coyoacán

I spent a very pleasant couple of hours with Yvan riding around Coyoacan, getting the vibe along with some history and mythology. And his story… a perspective on Mexico and the city. And some tips for contemporary dance perfomances.Coyoacan cruising

We are a family of eight: 6 adults and 2 teenagers. Al is a really nice and chill guy. He showed us the historical city, we had some real good foods and we have seen beautiful places. He is flexible in schedule and discusses what we want to do and act like it. And in the end he takes care that we are safe back in the hotel!Perfect city trip

Mariel is a wonderful and sweet person! She really cares about her guests. Our issues with the tour were below: The bicycles: I am 6'2" tall. These bikes are very small, and it was VERY uncomfortable, the entire time. If you are 6 feet or more, it is not easy to ride these. The route: 70% of our tour was riding through residential neighborhoods or uneventful streets. We would ride for 10-20 minutes, and then stop at a place. Then repeat. The route was not really beautiful. The stops: We stopped at 3 churches that had historical significance, but we could not enter 2 of them (closed). We stopped at the House of Frida, but the line was an hour long, so we couldn't enter during the tour. We stopped at an outside movie theater, which was cool - but it was all the way up Guatamoc drive, way out of the way, and not really worth such a long bike ride, to see an empty outside movie theater, at 1pm. Overall, we left feeling underwhelmed by the tour itself. I just felt like we rode (uncomfortable) bikes, for ~2 hours, and stopped at some uninteresting and/or closed places. On a positive note, we did get to see Coyoacan center, which was really cool, and we got a feel for the area. I hate to write a bad review, because Mariel is a wonderful person, and very sweet! But the route itself could be improved, in my opinon. Good, not great

Amazing experience. I was lucky to have the tour on such a beautiful sunny day. Mariel was a wealth of knowledge. She showed true passion and conviction for her work and was clearly an expert of her craft. Amazing bike up and down the Coyoacan streets. It was spectacular - landscape and history of the place are amazing. I cannot say this enough, Mariel was not only knowledgeable, but a great companion at the end of the it.Unforgettable experience - DO NOT MISS

Juan Miguel was our tour guide through the Historical Center of CDMX. Given it was a Monday, many of the museums were closed but Juan was able to show us many sites that were open and interesting. He also gave us many restaurant recommendation. For a young man, he is an old soul and well studied especially when it comes to the architecture of the Historical Center We very much enjoyed out time with Juan Miguel and would highly recommend him.

Mariel was so fun and knowledgeable! She took 3 of us around and showed us a regular neighborhood that wasn’t touristy and had solid good food. She shared so much information and made great recommendations for us first timers in Mexico City! If you are looking for high end posh food this isn’t it. If you want local eateries with authentic flair. This is your tour! Mariel was like traveling with a girlfriend and made the experience so fun. Fun Taco Tour

Mariel was an amazing tour guide! She is well studied, very knowledgeable, articulate, and has a deep appreciation for her country's heritage and culture. And she was extremely kind and fun to spend a morning with! While she speaks great English, we opted to have her do the tour in Spanish (we are conversational in Spanish but not fluent) and we could understand her perfectly. But when we needed clarification, she was easily able to explain in English. Would highly recommend!!¡Muy excelente!

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.

We were delighted to do our tour of historic Mexico City downtown with Mariel (Highlights and hidden gems of Mexico City). She was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and friendly. Her command of English was awesome. She brought her background as a social anthropologist to bear on the exposition. It was a great introduction to our son's new adopted city. In fact, we liked Mariel so much that we gave her our son's contact information so they could become acquainted and he could make a new friend!Delightful tour guide of Mexico City

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

Mariel was such a fun and interesting guide to our first experience in CDMX's Navarte neighborhood, introducing us to 5 delicious foods, including several we had never tried before, as we made our way across the area. We tried several kinds of tacos, did a quick tour of a local market, greeted the family who owned one of the restaurants, and learned about the history of the area. Mariel was really engaging and kind--such a welcoming way to get to know the city. Highly recommended!Excellent food tour of Navarte with Mariel

We’re so happy we went on this guided tour with Mariel - she was truly on home ground in Mexico City and such a sweetheart! She knows a lot about the must-sees in Mexico and did a superb job on telling the facts and whimsical details, but also taking the unofficial history into account. She showed us some really nice places and gave us some nice recommendations that we went to try out right after the tour. Thanks a lot for this great experience and for sharing your knowledge with us in such an engaging way! :-) Knowledgeable, thorough, and warm guide

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

She was able to tell us about the history and the many streets we walked on, including the park through which we walked. She was sure to take us through the market and pointed out good ice cream. At our stopping point, she directed us to La Casa Azul, only 2 blocks away. Had we not had timed tickest at the Casa, we would have loved to spend more time with her in this beautiful area of CDMX.Beautiful Coyoacán with Alaya
