What are people saying about Mexico City

Stefan_S, Apr 2026

Highly recommend the Anthropology Museum

Alicia was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide, who made the most efficient use of our time. The Museum is spectacular but is very large so unless you return later in the day, which is possible with your Viator ticket, seeing the entirety is not possible.

The Guide Brought the Museum to Life

This was an incredible not to be missed tour and experience. The museum's collection is incredible and vast. So many original artifacts, not reproductions or restorations. Ana, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable. She brought the museum and its various collections as well as the history of Mexico to life and really made the experience for us.

Private Tour: Teotihuacan and Guadalupe Shrine

AndreaBarnett, Apr 2026

Great tour of the pyramids

We greatly enjoyed having George as our guide, tons of knowledge and he was fun to talk to. The driver was great though I can’t recall his name! Loved seeing the pyramids which I’d wanted to see for so long! I gave it 5 starts to give George snd the driver the credit they deserved! However the food at lunch wasn’t great, and the staff at lunch wasn’t that friendly, Also didn’t care for the obsedian “tour” where there was pressure to buy something. Would have been better to have better lunch options but it’s also not an area with a lot of options!

This trip was absolutely fantastic. If you can request Gerardo, please do. He was absolutely incredible, and overall things couldn’t have been better. The trip is totally worth it, and it was such a good idea to go early and avoid the massive crowds. Couldn’t say enough good things about the company, the Pyramids, and Gerardo!

We had a great trip! Only about 2 hours out of the city, went on about a 4 hour hike and then back. Hike was relatively easy but the altitude made it more difficult for me. Ate a snack at the top and then came down and had a big lunch at a small local spot. They had everything included and everything we needed. Overall we had a great trip and the views were beautiful

Butterfly Monarch Tour from Mexico City

Megan_W, Mar 2026

Worth it!

If you're debating about making this trek, stop hesitating. My 10-year-old daughter and I had an amazing visit. We will never forget the magic of all those butterflies! The ride was long, the hike was dusty, but really not all that strenuous for us. The scenery was beautiful, even without the thousands of fluttering wings. Our guides were kind, knowledgeable, and flexible, and we felt well-cared for. I highly recommend- no regrets for spending a day of our CDMX trip visiting the sanctuary.

Alan was an amazing tour guide. He got us into the show very quickly and explained the history and traditions of lucha libre in a way that made it even more enjoyable. After the show, he made sure we were in a safe place to order our Ubers. I would definitely recommend this tour, it was so much fun!

Action Packed Half Day Hike with Omar

The Adventure starts early at 8am at a convenient spot near Roma Norte where you meet your super-guide Omar. From there our group of 4 loaded into Omars vehicle and headed to the mountains which are about 40min. away. Even though you are technically in CDMX, it is a whole different world. Upon arrival Omar provided us with backpacks containing a helmet, safety harness and water and explained in detail how to properly use the safety equipment. The trail is quite steep and rocky with an area which requires you to climb a long steel ladder up a cliff. Omar is watching your every step to make sure there is no danger to your safety. The climb reveals several breath taking view points at which we stopped to eat lunch (bring your own food and snacks) from there we descended down a different trail where we ran into cows randomly grazing in the forest and a beautiful river with stunning waterfalls. The hike is a few hours long depending on the groups pace and is a great workout and exciting experience for those who are feeling adventurous but don’t have time to climb an entire volcano. I highly recommend this tour!!!

I booked this tour for my mom’s 60th birthday, as it has always been her wish to visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I am so grateful to Gabriel, our tour guide, for giving us such a wonderful experience that we will always treasure as a family. The tour was not only insightful but also truly impactful. We now have so many beautiful photos to look back on, thanks to Gabriel for being a great photographer too! I really appreciated that he never rushed us and allowed us to explore each area at our own pace. At the end of the tour, he even recommended a quick go-to snack, Pastes Kiko’s (so good!!). Thank you again, Gabriel—10/10 highly recommend booking this tour!

Horseback, Culture & Mexican Flavors Experience

Brandi_H, Jun 2025

Beautiful horses and scenery

We loved getting to meet and spend time with Yunuen and his 2 kiddos. Super sweet family. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate. It rained the entire day. We still rode the horses but didn’t get the full experience due to slippery conditions. We were thankful that Yunuen cut the ride short for our safety. Lunch and drinks after were delicious! We had a yummy Mexican soup that warmed us up followed by a delicious Mexican bbq. I would recommend this tour 10/10. I hope to do it again when it’s not raining. Yunuen told us that we can reach out for a free reschedule the next time we’re in town which we thought was a very nice offer!
