We had a great time riding bikes in Mexico City! It’s a must experience! The whole things was perfectly organized and I felt 100% safe riding a bike in the streets of CDMX thanks to our tour guides. We had one guide in front of the line and one in the back. The tour guide had a lot of knowledge and gave details about CDMX I had never heard before. If you haven’t had a bike tour in CDMX I definitely recomended this one! They have different kind of routes and they adapt to your needs.

We took a tour with Pancho and Mario, who brought 8 of us from a cruise ship to see the sights of Acapulco in a comfortable air conditioned small bus. The guides’ passion for their hometown was obvious and endearing. They told stories about the places AND the people we saw, whom they waved to as we drove past. We visited 4 interesting sites, and Mario took pictures of the group that he later emailed to us. We had great seats on a shady balcony to watch the divers at Quebrada while enjoying a cold drink. Clearly, our guides were well known and very experienced in making visitors enjoy their city. After the formal tour, they suggested a great authentic restaurant for lunch, and got us back to the ship. Great fun, interesting color commentary and expert guides.

Roberto was an incredible guide for our exploration into the Floating Gardens of Xochimilco! He was communicative and flexible, as well as being incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. It was clear that he knew about the history of the of Xochimilco, but was also in touch with present day issues facing the area. We learned so much about the community and Mexico City as a whole. It was really an awesome experience floating along the canals, such a unique place, and gaining insight into Mexico through Roberto. I highly recommend going with a guide (like Roberto) to fully understand the place, history and culture.

We had an amazing walking (with one taxi) food tour with Diego! My husband and I love exploring the local food culture and he took us to some great local markets we never would have been able to navigate on our own. We tried tacos, meats, fruits and other treats. At the places he picked he knew the owners. Diego even brought his own plates and silverware for us. He is really knowledgeable about the history of the food culture of San Miguel De Allende. He also went with us to the local craft market. All in all a great day!

I am SO happy we booked this tour with Juan Carlos. I was a little wary at first because this experience didn’t have any reviews on TripAdvisor, but SO GLAD we took the chance! Juan Carlos was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. Very professional, communicative and knowledgeable — he made the experience stand out. We were picked up right at our hotel, and then took about an hour drive to Tepoztlan, a gorgeous magical town in the mountains by Mexico City. Upon arriving, we walked through the town until we reached the trail head. No for the faint of heart but wonderful exercise to climb to the top!! Unfortunately because of COVID the *very* top was closed, but we still got some incredible photos and views. Juan Carlos got us some paletas (popsicles) on the way down which gave me sustenance! We then got lunch at a local restaurant — absolutely delicious! I got the chicken verde enchiladas and tried a couple of local apps as well. Then Juan Carlos treated us to a delicious ice cream! I got cafe con leche and my partner got coconut — but the best flavor was Juan Carlos’s, so I recommend listening to him for the best fruit flavors. We also had time to stop by local artisans as well as the market in town. We got so many goodies to bring home — Oaxacan chocolate, a rams skull for our collection, incense and much more. There’s also an organic soap shop in town that I highly recommend. Don’t overthink it — BOOK this experience with Juan Carlos and be prepared for a magical time.

I contacted Ricardo ahead of our visit to Morelia. It was extremely easy to book a walking tour of the city that suited our needs. Ricardo picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the outskirts of the old center. From there, we walked through the city. Rodrigo built our experience around Morelia’s historical landmarks. He spent time providing us a very thorough historical background of Morelia. His expert knowledge of the conquest of Mexico by Spain and the Catholic Church helped put in perpective how Morelia has developed into the urban center it is today. Rodrigo also took us to a phenomenal artisans center. As we parted ways, he was kind enough to walk with us to a very nice restaurant he recommended for lunch. He also shared with us the names of a few places to shop on our own. It was a phenomenal tour! Morelia is a wonderful city. Rodrigo’s prices are extremely competitive. I can’t recommend Yei Tours enough!

A great guide always contributes to a great tour experience, and this was the case here. Diego was charming, knowledgeable, fun and professional. He conveyed the essence of the art, history, geography and the soul of Guanajuato. This is precisely what we were looking forward to. Guanajuato is a special and charm filled experience not to be missed. It's so distinctly dissimilar to San Miguel de Allende and that was a fun surprise. Spend your money intelligently on good guides, this is a good one.

If you are fluent in Spanish, the bus tour cost is very reasonable and there is much information given during the bus ride to and from Cholula and at the locations. However, we requested an English guide and the cost more than tripled. This was still fine, as we did learn a great deal from our knowledgeable guide. The guide who was booked for us forgot about the tour and the Tip team quickly found us a replacement guide. We appreciate his willingness to join us in Cholula at the last minute. Because of this, we missed all the commentary given during the bus rides. Once we joined Jose Louis in Cholula, he gave us great attention at all the stops. He is very knowledgeable and he is also a friendly and pleasant person. Because the lineup to go inside the pyramid was so long, we chose to spend the time viewing the pyramid ruins and also to first tour the small museum, near the entrance to the tunnel, which explains a great deal about the pyramid and tunnels. We also lucked into some indigenous dancers and music makers, dressed in their feathered, finery. It was wonderful! We missed walking to the top of the pyramid to see the views and the lovely church on the top. We simply did not have enough time. We did see the flyers in the Cholula square and that truly is a sight to see! We decided to return to Cholula on our own early one morning to climb the pyramid and tour the tunnel and we're very glad that we did!
