What are people saying about Mexico City

David_R, May 2026

Ernesto the Encyclopedia!

We took this private tour with Ernesto and I’d strongly recommend starting early while it’s still cool and before the crowds build. We began at around 9:30am, which was perfect - by lunchtime the school groups were arriving in force! Ernesto was intelligent, thoughtful, and never rushed. He has an impressive depth of knowledge about the history and development of Mexico, Mexico City, and its wonderfully diverse population and his passion really comes through. He tailored the tour to our interests, answered all our questions, took photos for us, and guided us effortlessly through the 700 (nearly 701!) years since the founding of Mexico City (see… I was paying attention! 🤣). Wherever we travel, we try to use a local guide for key sites, and Ernesto is exactly why. We got far more from our (slightly over!) two hours with him than we ever would have wandering around alone or relying on an audio guide. If you’re unsure whether to book, do it. You won’t regret it. Thanks, Ernesto!

Our guide Issac was so...

Our guide Issac was so knowledgable and passionate about sharing the history, Barragan's life and works as reflected in the house. He incorporated our own experiences with Barragan's work and tailored the tour to our needs. We brought our one-year-old and Issac was very patient and accommodating while we took photos, revisited certain areas, and asked about different aspects of the property. Such a beautiful experience thank you so much!

Magical Coayacan

This is a great experience for those that want to have a little taste of traditional mexican environment with the guidance of Hector. It is a walking tour, the time allows for it to go at your own pace, there is food along the way that is a great break. We loved the traditional taco stand inside a market, we eanted that experience but were a little scared of picking the wrong stand. The attention of Hector was the best and always ready to answer all questions.

The Guide Makes the Difference

If you visit the Luis Barragán House, do yourself a favor and book this tour. Our guide was wonderful, thorough, passionate, and consistently checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. His deep knowledge of the architecture and the story behind how this iconic home came to be at its location made our visit much more meaningful. We would never have appreciated the significance of the design details, especially Barragán's extraordinary use of color, without someone who understood them so well. Truly one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico City.

Excursion to Cholula and Puebla from Mexico City

Great Day Trip to San Pedro de Chulula and Puebla

While it's a long day, the visit to Cholula and Puebla was well worth the time. It gives you a chance to see some Unesco World Heritage areas including the Puebla Cathedral and the Church of Our Sister of Remedies (Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de los Remedios). We enjoyed the chance for a one day trip out of Mexico City to experience another city nearby and some beautiful attractions including the volcanoes in the distance.

Worth it!

100% worth it — Mauricio was an informative and entertaining guide! He provided great context and information regarding the lives of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo as well as the home they shared. Mauricio is an architect and provided historical/architectural context to Juan O’Gorman’s home/studio and his commissioned homes for Rivera and Kahlo. I would highly recommend if you are not fluent in Spanish — most of the signage & written information is in Spanish. Mauricio was able to give us that information and so much more! Thank you Mauricio!

He did a great job leading us through a long tour. We definitely appreciated the pick up/drop off service as well. Overall this was a fun and informative day!

Hey, book it!

Traveled with my elderly parents and it was a nice walking pace. My dad enjoyed the history explanation. As Mexicans, we thought the restaurant food lacked a bit of authentic flavor. But we get it. They're catering to non-mexican tourist. We appreciated the service. The tour guides were excellent, bilingual (English/Spanish), approachable and knowledgeable. Main reason I booked this trip was because the Frida Kahlo tickets were sold out on the museum's website and this 2- day package included tickets to Frida. Again, the overall experience was a great!
