Claudio M.
“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.
