A great free walking tour. - My friend and I had the pleasure of having Diana as our tour guide for Mexico City. You never know what you could get with a free tour but this could have easily been a paid tour. Diana was very informative and detailed and encouraged questions. She was very conscious of the heat and made sure to have the group in shade as much as possible. We appreciated the knowledge she had as it didn’t feel like a person who memorized some facts hoping no one would notice. She was a lovely tour guide and Would absolutely recommend this free tour to anyone. Thank you Diana!

Learnt so much from our friendly and knowledgeable guide - So glad I took the tour, it was a wonderful way to explore the city of Merida and its layered history. Our guide was so lovely and knowledgeable, and he answered all of my questions with enthusiasm. Also as a solo traveller it was a lovely way to meet other people.

Malik An exceptional guide - Malik, the guide, was wonderful, he explained everything to us with anecdotes and a lot of information... we were super entertained the entire time and attentive to his explanations. We usually do many free tours, but this one has surprised us so well, we will recommend it and we will hire it again on another occasion. Thank you so much

Great way to experience the historical centre - Good walking tour - would definitely recommend doing on one of your first few days in CDMX. The guide was knowledgeable and the group wasn't too big either

Well worth a big tip! - Erendia was our guide and she was great! The group was not too large, and, although it was a hot day, she always found a shady place to stop and talk to us. She really brought the history to life with funny and personal stories. I particularly liked the description, in front of a dress shop, of the importance (and expense) of the Quinceanera celebration and the story behind the James Bond Square. Her description of the architecture and the archaeology and the SINKING! of the area were all fascinating as well. I’m so glad we went!

Nice hikes during our road trip through Yucatan (Merida) - During our road trip through Quintana Roo and Yucatan we took several guided walking tours in different cities. Nice to meet local people this way with interesting stories and lots of (local) information. In Merida we did a walking tour with Fernando. Merida is a very nice (cultural) city and Fernando told us a lot about the rich history of this city. He also informed us about nice places to visit (e.g. museums, art galleries, Mayan heritage...) and places to eat and drink! A very nice experience for us!
