Jacqueline is an A+ tour guide. I like that she didn't simply spoon feed all the information but also made me think and use my imagination about what I was seeing. She was patient because I wanted to take lots of pictures and she also took my photos and they were great. Being a private tour I really appreciate the extra effort of helping me shop for items along the way that I found interesting. We also had fun conversations, she graciously joined me for lunch after the tour. I so appreciate that she had extra time to accompany me to the ciudadela and have the best churros at El Moro. Then waited until my Uber came to pick me up. A truly unforgettable day. Thank you so much Jacqueline I wish you all the best!

Our tour guide Alex was very educated and friendly. His explanations were vivid, they demonstrated his deep knowledge of Mexican history. I highly recommend this trip.
