About this activity

This tour becomes unique because it offers you very interesting historical and tourist information carried with humor and easy-to-understand language as if it were a story, your guide will always support you to clarify your doubts and needs so that your visit is comfortable, fun and safe.

I also support you to take all the photos you want since I have a good sense of photography and I love that you take the best postcards of your trip and you can share them on your social networks.

The purpose is that we spend a day with friends and visit CDMX as if you were a local discovering the most secret corners that this beautiful city hides. Here in this tour you are the most important and I wish you a great time in this tour.
