“Expected a bit more ”
Unfortunately I didn’t learn much. I expected to leave with a good understanding of the history, but I only got bits and pieces, which I would say are more “fun facts”. I still appreciate the guide’s sense of humour and how he makes everyone feel comfortably!

“great tour”
Really enjoyed the tour. perfect mix of history, culture and humor. The only thing I would change i that guides were wearing shirts that had a different name than the platform we booked from. Might be nice to add a placard somewhere for clarity.

I had a great time on the tour of CDMX’s historical centre. It was really well organised, and packed full of useful information. Our tour guide Estrella was a real star as well, really charismatic and engaging. Definitely considering doing more tours with this company. :)
