Great tour & great guide!

Published on Oct, 2024

Bernardo was a great guide & I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. He was very patient in explaining everything & let us take our time to experience the food & the city without rushing us. It was a small group which was nice & Bernardo had to do double duty by guiding in both English & Spanish which he did very capably ... was fun & like a walking Spanish lesson too! The tacos were delicious & the insects 'interesting'! Exotic animals weren't mentioned in the description & I did NOT want to eat lion or tiger, farmed or otherwise! All in all a great tour, many thanks!

Food and tour market in MX

Published on Jul, 2024

Knowing about the buildings of religious, governmental, and artistic natures. Going in and out of a few places and tasting the food. Being informed that the President of Mexico is living in that main building in the square where only foot traffic and markets are to be near his people! That meant a lot to him to me. I AM very pleased with how the tour guide informed me of so many things! He was professional yet down to earth where everybody enjoyed everything about the tour! Thank you! Ms JJ
