“I had an absolutely exceptional day in Mexico City”
I had an absolutely exceptional day in Mexico City thanks to my private guide. Everything was perfect from start to finish. He was already there waiting for me well before my arrival, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident. The organization was flawless, the car was very comfortable, and everything ran smoothly and professionally throughout the day. He adapted the tour perfectly to my needs and preferences, making the experience truly personalized and enjoyable. On top of that, he is extremely friendly and speaks excellent English, which made our conversations easy and very interesting. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to discover Mexico City in the best possible conditions. A true 5-star experience without hesitation!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words Gregory It truly makes me happy to know that you felt comfortable and confident from the very beginning — for me, a great experience starts the moment we meet. Being punctual, organized, and attentive to every detail is something I take very seriously, especially during private tours where personalization makes all the difference. I’m glad you enjoyed the comfort of the day, the flexibility of the itinerary, and our conversations along the way. Sharing Mexico City is always special, but it becomes even more meaningful when there is genuine curiosity and openness like yours. Thank you for your trust and for allowing me to be part of your time here. If you ever return, I would be delighted to plan another unforgettable day together. Warm regards!

“Excellent experience with Francisco”
We enjoyed three days with Francisco including the center of Mexico City, Coyoacan/Xochimilco and Teotihuacan/Guadalupe. Francisco made our experience the most enjoyable one by showing his knowledge of the places, flexibility to accommodate for our requests and sensitivity to any indication from our side. Quite frankly, he made a superb job all the three days and the experience overall was well beyond our expectations. Always on time, easy to cope with any comments from our side, great recommendations to us with regards to places we could visit on our own and fine restaurants for lunch/dinner. I sincerely recommend to anyone visiting CDMX and/or the surroundings to reach out to Francisco and get a customized tour to fully capture the essence of this amazing city/country. His expertise, professionalism, attention and attitude will make a heck of a difference with regards to your experience visiting Mexico.

Hola Angel! Reading this truly means a lot thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful words. Spending three full days together exploring the City was an absolute pleasure for me. What makes multi-day experiences special is the trust that builds along the way, and I’m very grateful you allowed me to be part of your time in Mexico. I always aim to balance deep historical context with flexibility and attentiveness, so hearing that you felt accommodated, comfortable, and well guided throughout the experience is incredibly rewarding. Mexico City and its surroundings have so many layers — cultural, historical, spiritual, culinary — and my goal is always to help visitors truly connect with that essence rather than just “see the sights.” Thank you as well for your openness, curiosity, and great energy during those three days. Guests like you make my job not only professional, but genuinely enjoyable. If Mexico calls you back in the future, it would be an honor to explore even more together. Warm regards, Francisco

“Centro Histórico and Coyoacán”
We wanted to share our enthusiastic recommendation for Francisco as a tour guide. We needed a customized tour to fit our specific interests and schedule, and Francisco delivered exactly what we wanted. He tailored a perfect experience for us, including stops for tacos and beers along the way as requested. Francisco has an encyclopedic knowledge of CDMX history and is a wonderful storyteller who truly brings the city's rich history to life. If we ever return to CDMX, we will absolutely hire Francisco again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a guide to this amazing city. He is the best! 10/10.

I’m especially happy to hear that you enjoyed the historical context and stories. Mexico City has so many layers, and bringing them to life for curious travelers like you makes every tour special for me as well.
