We were a small group, Ana was very nice and informative and happy to answer all our questions. She brought us to places we otherwise would have gone past.

Great way to get to know Centro Historico!

Walking through Centro with Anna was a delight. She is very knowledgable and filled with lots of information. She made us laugh quite a bit as well. Anna also offered lots of recommendations on food and other things to do while in CDMX. Definitely 2.5 hours well spent :)

Great experience in an amazing place

“I did the free walking tour around the oldtown. It was my first time as a free walking tourist and it was really nice. Luis showed us around the streets and some important buildings and explained about history, culture and religion for about 3 hours.”

"My friends and I were in CDMX for a long weekend in January 2023. We saw a lot of the city's and region's essential sites during those days and this tour stood out as a top highlight.

Our guide Ana gave us an extensive tour of the Zócalo area and did a great job making it informative but also conversational and engaging. We covered centuries of history and also got behind-the-scenes access to some of the palatial government buildings that dot the area.

Ana is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic ambassador of CDMX and its history and went out of her way to make sure we had a memorable experience. We'd all be enthused to have her as a guide again.

Kudos on a fantastic tour!"

100% recommend!

“We did the historic city walking tour with Luis, and it was great! I'm glad we did the walking tour early on in our trip to Mexico City because Luis was great at giving us historical context to the culture of the indigenous people who lived here hundreds of years ago and taking us to see murals that are tucked away in buildings. The walking tour was a great way to orient ourselves in this part of the city. Luis was great at regularly checking in with our group, and overall I would highly recommend doing a walking tour through the city! Gracias por todo, Luis!”
