He was friendly, knowledgeable, fun, and knew all the best spots. Our tour with him was a great way to experience CDMX! This was my second time doing a tour with a Mexico underground and I cannot recommend them enough!!Posted on Sarah Prensky-PomeranzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gabriel was an awesome guide. Spoke very clearly and was very patient with our group which included kids and seniors. He took us to the best taco places outside of downtown Mexico and we believe him when he said it’s the best. We can’t imagine anything better than everything we’ve tried! Definitely well recommended and make sure you ask for Gabriel!Posted on Jill Gerodias BorjaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were picked up early in the morning by our driver Jesus, who was very adept at negotiating the Mexico City traffic. Soon we were outside of all of that, and we were on our way to Teotihuacán. Our guide, Noa, was extremely knowledgeable, and furthermore, her English was impeccable for a native Latin speaker. By the end of the tour she had everyone feeling like a family.Posted on Stan AdamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a must-do for your time in Mexico City! Rodrigo took us around, teaching us about the city’s history while introducing us to its culture through food (and the food was incredible). We experienced hidden surprises and left feeling more like a local than we ever could have imagined. If there’s one thing to prioritize, it’s this tour!!Posted on Laney AlspaughTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic tour of Downtown Street food and the San Juan Market! Our guide Evelyn was extremely knowledgeable and had an infectious passion for the history, culture and of course food of the city.
