“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!

“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.

“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.
