Jesus was an amazing guide. We ended up being the only tourists on the tour, so it was actually a private tour. So lucky for us. His knowledge of Mexican history was extensive and he was a great story teller. He was able to craft the tour around sites we had already seen, so we got quite a bit extra included in the tour. He was very generous with his time. Highly recommended!

this tour was very comprehensive of the city and history. our tour guide Carlos was fantastic. he told many interesting facts about what we were seeing great anecdotes and theories. the meeting point was a very charming artsy office in the center. we highly recommend it.
