Amazing tour with a great guide! Our tour guide arrived to meet us on time and was super friendly and knowledgeable. The car was clean and comfy and all of the stops were interesting. Lunch was delicious too. I just wish we had more time to spend watching the monkeys (they are so cute!).

Booked a one day tour of Veracruz and surrounding area for our first trip to Veracruz. Rafael was a terrific guide and driver, and we saw and learned a lot in a short time. It allowed us to take note of the places we wanted to revisit on foot later in the week. I can recommend tour, and the tour company

One of the best parts of my trip to CDMX! I happened to be the only one signed up that afternoon, so I got a private (!!) tour of the city with Ismael. We went all through Chapultepec park, then biked down Reforma into the Centro Histórico where we stopped for tacos in a charming taquería. Along the way we stopped to learn about historic sites, significant points in Mexican history and anecdotes about different leaders whose impact can be seen on the city today. Ismael is a fantastic guide- funny, passionate about sharing history, a true lover of bike culture and very attentive to make sure I always felt safe biking around. Y encima me dejó practicar mi español y no me burló por lo fatal que sonaba jaja ???? The whole afternoon was a fantastic experience, highly recommended! Gracias Ismael
