Top Mexico City Architecture Tours - page 2

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!

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.

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!
