A great overview of Mexico City

Irina_Y, Dec 2025
We really enjoyed the overview tour of Mexico with Eduardo. We visited the floating gardens, Coyoacan neighborhood where we had a great lunch, the University campus and Library. When downtown was closed because of protests, Eduardo offered to drop us off at the Opera and Fine Arts museum. We always wanted to see the murals by Diego Riviera. The Palace itself is a fine example of art deco snd beax arts. A lovely visit! Eduardo is very knowledgeable, friendly and a great driver. We highly recommend him!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Humberto was wonderful! If you’re going to opt into mariachis while on the canal, don’t haggle them it’s their way of making a living and they’re doing what they can with what they have. Be kind and generous, it goes a long way.
