      The guide did not show...

      Leah_S, Mar 2026
      The guide did not show up. We arrived early and then waited an additional 20 minutes past the start time hoping they were just running late. They were not and never arrived. We received no personal communication from the company with an explanation or apology about this - we eventually received a generic email from Viator noting we were being given a refund. Really poor customer service.

      Response from Host, Mar 2026

      Lamentamos profundamente que el guía no se presentara el día de tu tour. Entendemos lo frustrante que fue esperar sin recibir comunicación. Desde entonces, hemos reforzado nuestros protocolos de confirmación y puntualidad para garantizar que esto no vuelva a ocurrir. Te agradecemos mucho tu paciencia y esperamos tener la oportunidad de ofrecerte la experiencia que mereces en el futuro.

      We never got the tour. The tour guide cancelled our 10am and proposed a new time,12pm, we could not attend due to prior commitments.

      Response from Host, Mar 2026

      Sentimos mucho que tu tour haya sido cancelado a última hora, especialmente porque no pudiste reagendar por tus compromisos previos. Esa no es la experiencia que queremos brindar. Hemos ajustado nuestra logística para minimizar imprevistos y asegurarnos de que cualquier cambio se comunique con la mayor antelación posible. Gracias por tu comprensión y por compartir tu caso.

      Good way to start our first Mexico City vacation

      gary_k, Feb 2026
      We did a personal tour of the central historic district with Eric the day after we arrived in Mexico City. We knew that many iconic attractions are closed on Mondays and this Monday was also a national holiday, but Eric gave us a good overview of Mexican history and culture and filtered what attractions we should prioritize while visiting. This was exactly what we were looking for in a 2 hour initial tour. He also gave us some tips on places to eat including how to experience The Tile House's restaurant various dining options and how to navigate Pasteleria Ideal, where the locals go. Eric was very accommodating with rest stops and a helped with a trip to the currency exchange. You would do well to take this intro tour.

      Response from Host, Mar 2026

      ¡Hola! Muchísimas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de compartir una reseña tan completa y tan llena de detalles. Nos llena de alegría saber que tu experiencia con Eric en el Centro Histórico fue exactamente lo que estabas buscando para empezar a conocer esta increíble ciudad. Eres muy observador al mencionar lo de los lunes festivos, y qué bien que aún así pudieron aprovechar al máximo el recorrido. Eric es un apasionado de la historia y la cultura mexicana, y siempre busca adaptarse a las necesidades de cada viajero, así que nos encanta saber que logró darte justo lo que necesitabas: contexto, recomendaciones clave y tips locales como los de la Casa de los Azulejos y la Pastelería Ideal, que son verdaderos tesoros para quienes quieren vivir la Ciudad de México como local. Agradecemos también que hayas destacado su flexibilidad y amabilidad con temas prácticos como el cambio de divisas y las pausas para descansar; eso es justo el tipo de experiencia humana y cercana que queremos ofrecer. Nos encanta que hayas elegido nuestra ciudad para explorar y que hayas confiado en nosotros para acompañarte en estos primeros pasos. ¡Esperamos que el resto de tu viaje haya sido igual de maravilloso! Y ojalá puedas regresar muy pronto para seguir descubriendo juntos más rincones llenos de historia, sabor y vida. ¡Gracias de nuevo por tu visita y por tus palabras! Un abrazo enorme,

      KatieAnn_L, Feb 2026
      Confusing instructions to meet our guide first they said orange umbrella and then day of said orange folder… well we never found our guide. Bummer. Refund was not approved…

      Response from Host, Mar 2026

      Gracias por señalarlo. Lamentamos que las instrucciones del punto de encuentro fueran confusas. Unificamos la señalización a un folder naranja y ahora enviamos un mensaje de recordatorio con una foto del punto de reunión para evitar malentendidos. Pedimos disculpas por la frustración y esperamos que en otra ocasión puedas disfrutar el recorrido sin contratiempos.

      Terrible the guide never showed up and now I have to wait for a refund until they get in contact with the guide that never showed up.

      Response from Host, Mar 2026

      Hola, Ante todo, queremos disculparnos de la manera más sincera por lo ocurrido. Nos llena de pesar saber que el guía no se presentó y que tu experiencia con nosotros haya sido tan frustrante. Entendemos perfectamente tu enfado, pues tu tiempo e ilusión son lo más importante y nosotros fallamos en brindarte el servicio que merecías. Lamentamos profundamente que, para colmo, hayas tenido que esperar más de la cuenta para la resolución del reembolso. Nuestro proceso interno requiere contactar al guía para entender lo sucedido y poder mejorar, pero somos conscientes de que ese trámite no debería haberte afectado a ti. Nos alegra informarte que el reembolso ya ha sido procesado. Esperamos que muy pronto puedas verlo reflejado en tu método de pago . De verdad, sentimos mucho haberte fallado y haberte hecho perder un tiempo tan valioso. Ojalá en el futuro nos des la oportunidad de recuperar tu confianza y brindarte la experiencia increíble que desde el primer momento quisimos ofrecerte. Recibe un cordial saludo y nuestras más sinceras disculpas,

      We’re a family of four (with kids aged 4 and 12) visiting Mexico City for the first time, and this tour was one of our highlights. Erick was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging throughout. We also appreciated that the tour was reasonably priced for kids, and the two-hour length was just right for our little one.

He had a really strong storytelling ability that made the tour not just informative but entertaining too, weaving together different parts of the city center to give us a holistic view of the history of Mexico. We felt this tour was the perfect length of time because we got so much interesting history without feeling overwhelmed/exhausted by the end.

      ¡Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review!

Our main goal is to provide a rich and engaging experience, so your words are very rewarding for us. We also sincerely appreciate your understanding regarding the tour's duration. You've hit the nail on the head! While we have a planned schedule, the pace can sometimes vary based on the group's dynamics and, as you kindly mentioned, how quickly guests explore the sites.

      Kevin_R, Sep 2025
      Mexico City is a sprawling city so 1.5 hours does not give it justice. Eric was a good tour guide, experienced and knowledgeable about his city. Visits made to the Palace of Arts, post office, Zocalo and San Francisco church. We also did a detour to the Grand Hotel where Spectre was filmed. Overall an enjoyable tour and recommended.
