See Coyoacán, Casa Azul or Casa Kahlo, UNAM murals, and Xochimilco by trajinera on a full-day Mexico City tour.
“It is a pretty full experience, but one books way ahead , so a good reminder for exactly what is booked will be good.. did not know if we had tickets to Frida Kahlo house for example, said-nothing g is included and i could check options, but it was already paid for. The guide said we should have seen this and that after we finished, but other guides said what they should look for. A bug miss. Also guide spoke too fast, better to have separate explanation by each language, it was more noise than information.”

“Excellent tour - very knowledgeable guide - v easy transfer from city centre and flexible to our needs as a private party”
See Cholula’s great pyramid, Tonantzintla’s Indigenous Baroque church, and Puebla’s historic center on an 11-hour trip from Mexico City.
“After receiving stern warnings to be on time, our driver (Juan) was 40 minutes late, citing heavy morning traffic. I was on the point of cancelling when the van finally arrived. We then started driving *into* the historic centre for a second pickup at 9:20am for a second pickup! I have been on other tours that dealt much better with the morning rush. This meant we set off from Mexico City around 10:20, and were caught in further queues on our way to Puebla. He also went to the wrong side of the cathedral square which caused a further delay. The tour guide was often having to give him navigation…”

Review of a small-group Mexico City tour pairing Teotihuacan’s pyramids, Guadalupe Basilica, lunch, bilingual guiding, and hotel pickup.
“Seeing Teotihuacan itself was the most amazing thing of the day. Sergio provided a great introduction as we were driving to the temple city and good information as we walked through the area. I do think the tour should provide water for the trip home. We spent a lot of time in the hot sun and my guess is that most of us had drunk all the water we brought ourselves before the end of the long day. Our driver was excellent!”

“An amazing day - one we will talk about for years to come. Our guide for the day, Sharon, was absolutely amazing! From start to finish it felt like travelling with a friend with a perfect day planned. The private tour around the pyramids was terrific followed by salsa and tasting and a beautiful lunch in a garden of a local home. Cannot recommend this tour enough. Kudos to Sharon and the Travelling Herbivore team.”
