Traveler Reviews

Gerson was an amazing tour guide!! He was very knowledgeable of history and surroundings. You can’t pass up this tour.

Our tour guides were Lilly and Jose. One of the awesome and informative folks who knows everything about the history. The tour was organized in English and Spanish so was very convenient.

Joyful day Exploring Juan O’Gormans historic murals Frida Kahlo home and art Boat party at Xochimilco

Amazing tour! Very attentive and knowledgeable. Translation was great, punctual, clean bus and good vibes

Our trip was great. Highlight obviously was cochilco only downside was stay at the trajinera was short. Food on the boat was tasty but slightly expensive by Mexican standards. Bus was comfy and schedule was maintained. First we visited Coyoacan which is a nice little town to walk and have some churros, coffee or breakfast. Surprisingly our next stop was at the UNAM university which we did not ecpect. They showed us some greats murals. Overall trip was worth the price and met our expectations.
