We had a wonderful tour...

We had a wonderful tour with Jorge. He is a scholar and great storyteller. You can see his love for the city.

I seriously can't recognize this highly enough! This isn't a ghost tour, to be clear, though Jorge does tell you one at the end (if you want) that's a bit chilling. This is a great mix of stories: some facts, some legends -- all of which he's researched thoroughly on his own. And maybe because of that, it's just so clear that he loves the material. Plus, he's a born storyteller. And the price is great -- especially for a private tour. Honestly, when I booked the tour, the price was so low that I thought I had to be misunderstanding "private." So I showed up expecting a group, but no, it was just my friend and myself. Also great is that he's happy to stop and give you a little time to take pictures or to duck into a cathedral he's just told you a cool story about. Plus, having it at night was great. Not just for the ambience, but because most museums/tourist spots close at 5 p.m. here. Since most tours are in the day, you generally have to choose between doing that and ticking off a museum, a palace, etc. With this tour, you can go somewhere to take in the sights, leave at 5, grab a bite to eat (or take in Centro Historico in general), then meet Jorge at Bellas Artes without rushing. Seriously, don't hesitate -- buy the tickets!

Jorge was a patient and thorough guide bringing years of professional and personal research on Mexico to life through the tour. Lots of breaks and opportunities to take photos. Lovely experience!
