“Amazing, Educational & In Depth ”
Jazmin hands down is the best tour guide I’ve had. She started the experience by asking me what my goals/focus areas were. She blended her thorough archeology background with a sense of humor throughout the tour. I highly recommend you book her - will not regret. Her style would be great with families with little ones as well

“Wonderful waking tour ”
I didn’t really know what to expect on this walking tour. I had already taken a museum tour with Jazmín and it was great, so I figured why not check out Coyoacán? She walked me through early Spanish history. We saw a few churches, Cortez’s house, and the commercial district. We also walked through some beautiful heavily treed allies. She filled me in on the history and told several very interesting stories along the way. I highly recommend this tour.
