We had an incredible tour of CDMX’s Centro Histórico with Daniel! He took us to places we never would have found on our own, sharing hidden gems and fascinating stories along the way. His passion for his city and its history was contagious—he was just as excited to show us these places as we were to discover them. Beyond the sights, we also had thoughtful and engaging conversations, making the experience feel personal and meaningful. Daniel was kind, open, and a fantastic guide. If you want a tour that’s both insightful and full of heart, this is the one!See Historico Centro

We had a fantastic food tour with Victor through the historic center of Mexico city! He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, the history, and also about each of the eateries that we visited. It was very informative and our teen and tweenaged kids loved the tour as well. Victor was excellent with the kids, ensuring that they were also having a great time. When I asked my youngest son (11 years) about his most favorite part of our whole trip to Mexico City, he said that his highlight was the food tour with Victor. I think that we all agreed with him. We so highly recommend Victor, and we will definitely be calling him when we come back again to do more tours! Don't hesitate to book him, he is awesome! Victor is awesome! Highly recommended!

Alaya communicated several times with me before our trip to Mexico and was very detailed in describing our meeting place. She is charming and a fun person to be with. 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

We had a great time exploring the history and culture of Coyoacán with Nalleli. She was great company as she showed us the attractions of this vibrant part of Mexico City. More importantly she made its rich history come alive - from the days of Cortez through the Frida Kahlo /Diego Rivera era to the modern theatre and art movements. She explained the politics of these times and how they shaped modern Mexico. We then spent time exploring the local food and craft markets. It was the highlight of our stay in this remarkable city.A wonderful day exploring Mexico City

26 February 2025

We were fortunate to have two superb experiences with Nalleli on two separate days. Nalleli was very informative and engaging. She brought calm to the chaos of Mexico City. Our tour of the Antropology Museum on day one provided a great foundation for our visit. It was made even better when Nalleli organized a senior archeologist to join us for the three hours. On day two we spent walking around the Centro Historico area including to the various historical landmarks and many off the beaten path places. Along the way and at each stop Nalleli shared stories that provided us with valuable insight into Mexico's history and culture.

(About local Yván)

10 February 2025

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

Jason

(About local Nalleli)

10 February 2025

Walking around Coyoacan would have been OK by myself, it's got parks and cafes and markets, but seeing it with someone who knows the city and its history so deeply was so much better! Nalleli taught me a ton about how the area fits into Mexico City's culture and history, and we got to see a lot of niche spots that I would have never found. It was really nice having someone show me the little museums, cafes, and historical buildings I would never have access to without local insight (or any real Spanish-speaking ability). Nalleli is a gem and I would gladly learn more from her.Had the Best Time in Coyoacan!

We had our walking tour with Hilary the day after we arrived in Mexico city. We had nothing specific that we were looking for which probably wasn't helpful to Hilary but I have to say, we had the most enjoyable time!!! Hilary was a mind full of information. She was quick to figure out areas and information that she thought that we'd be interested in, and we were!!! Sometimes walking tours can feel like the guide is just throwing out facts that they've learnt about the area but with Hilary this was definitely not the case. She is a lovely warm person and we really enjoyed her company as well as the tour. She was incredibly helpful to us in giving advice and tips as well to help set us up for our holiday in Mexico city. Thank you so much Hilary!!! From your Irish friends Sarah and Mary ❤️ Hilary is amazing!!

My walking tour of Mexico City's Centro district was a great way to spend 3 hours. Our guide, Victor, was fantastic, bringing the city's rich history to life with fascinating stories and insights. Beyond the historical landmarks, we also got a wonderful introduction to the local food scene, learning about traditional dishes. It was a perfect blend of history, culture, and food. I was a little disappointed after realizing that we never got to try a local snack or drink as indicated in the trip details.

While I was regrettably ill for the tour myself, my wife and friends had nothing but good things to say about HIlary. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. The tour apparently covered both the big sights as well as a slew of 'hidden gems' that they would never have thought to see.

(About local Alaya)

3 February 2025

We loved learning more about Coyoacan: the culture, the people, the traditions, the coffee and ice cream, and the history. Since we had already been to the Frida Museum, we wanted to dig deeper, and Alaya provided a hands-on walking tour. We learned so many "local" tidbits about the area that you don't often read in a guidebook. Put on your walking shoes because the best way to see the area is by walking through it. We were even "blessed" in one of the parks and saw so many families and couples eating, dancing, eating, listening to music, and enjoying life. Alaya brought it alive for us by telling us the back stories, and showing us where to get away from the hubbub of one of the largest cities in the world! She even helped us get an rideshare in a downpour. Book a tour soon and enjoy!Dig Deeper into Mexico City
