“This was a wonderful way to be introduced to Mexico City. Emiliano was so knowledgeable & provided a good mix of history, politics & culture. My family often gets disinterested in too much history and I found that everyone was engaged throughout the entire tour. I highly recommend the tour and thought it was a great value.”
