Mexico City Sightseeing Tour

The tour is good and very informed , but is a lot of walking, fortunately the weather is very nice, not too hot but comfortable , I think the tour is decent.
Great choice!
Sharnie R, Oct 2019
This was a very worthwhile tour, Oscar our guide was very professional and passionate about imparting information on the history of Mexico. He coped magnificently with 3 languages, spoke fluently in English, French & Spanish so no one missed out on any explanations. We saw a number of good sites, enjoyed a great coffee and finished the tour with a walk in the Historic downtown area - it was excellent!
Very knowledgeable guide
Akhter_C, Jul 2019
Jose was very knowledgeable, thorough, prompt and well organised. I really enjoyed, the tour. Our guide was passionate about his work. And that rubbed off on us. Could not be better!
Good Introduction to Some Noteworthy Mexico City Sites
Donald_S, Jun 2019
The first, and longest, part of the tour was a walking tour of some noteworthy sites near our hotel in the Reforma area. We had not expected that much walking, but it was not overly taxing. Then we drove to the National Archaeology Museum, where the guide walked us through several of the exhibits, explaining important eras in the history of Mexico.
Excellent and very knowledgable tour guide
Magdalena_Z, May 2019
Our tour guide whos name was Renaldo was excellent and extremely knowledgable about the history of mexico. Due to not many people signing up for the tour, we had the tour guide all to ourselves and he was fantastic at answering all of our questions. I would highly recommend this tour as it was great value and you really get a taste of mexico in a few hours along with a thorough history lesson.

John B, Aug 2018
Overview: A great way to gain insight into some of Mexico City's key historic sights. Our guide, Jose, really gets into the details much like a professor who is passionate about his area of expertise. NOTE: lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes and clothing.
- Departure Details: Jose met us at our pick up point right on time. We then went to two nearby locations where we picked up four other tourists. Our total group had seven persons.
- Metropolitan Cathedral and National Palace: We first strolled through a pedestrian zone/shopping district where we saw lots of colonial buildings. At the cathedral Jose told us all about it and we had time to check it out. A very peaceful place yet it is enormous. We were then escorted into the National Palace a short walk from the cathedral where we spent time learning about the famous Diego Rivera murals. Total time for both places was at least two hours.
- Silversmith and Anthropological Museum: On our way to the museum we stopped in a neighborhood and saw a silversmith at work and had the opportunity to purchase some silver jewelry and souvenirs. The craftsmanship was amazing and the prices very reasonable. IMHO, this reminded me more of a wholesaler than a retailer. Spent maybe 35 minutes there then off to the museum. NOTE: bring your own lunch and snacks so you can spend all of your time at the museum looking around and no time in the cafeteria. We asked Jose if we could purchase lunch at the museum, which we did and it was lovely, but it turned into about a 45 minute sit down lunch which ate into our museum time, pun intended.
- Chapultapec Area: We didn't stroll though this area, although this is where the museum is.

Very good tour! Our guide Jose was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information on the history of Mexico. When a couple of people were taking a long time looking in a silver shop, our driver took us to a local church and a small local crafts shop. Was a vey nice tour.

So much ground covered in numerous locations with an extremely knowledgeable guide. Picked up from hotel in modern air conditioned van and straight to it. Great locations - Post Office, Cathedral, Presidential Palace, Tiled house and Anthropology museum. Recommended

Make sure you understand where to meet the tour. I was under the mistaken impression the we had hotel pick-up. Waited for two hours and no pick up.
