Follow your host through the creative neighborhood of Coyoacán, former home of world-renowned artist Frida Kahlo (she’d never have lived here if it were an average, run of the mill neighborhood). Discover La Casa Azul (Frida’s former home), shady squares, exotic markets, decadent street food stalls and purple jacaranda lined avenues. Do as the locals do and hang about outdoors, people-watching, snacking, enjoying the live music and absorbing the progressive spirit of this bohemian neighborhood.

Roberto was an incredible guide for our exploration into the Floating Gardens of Xochimilco! He was communicative and flexible, as well as being incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. It was clear that he knew about the history of the of Xochimilco, but was also in touch with present day issues facing the area. We learned so much about the community and Mexico City as a whole. It was really an awesome experience floating along the canals, such a unique place, and gaining insight into Mexico through Roberto. I highly recommend going with a guide (like Roberto) to fully understand the place, history and culture.

I enjoyed my Cholula Tour with Susana and Unlimited Experiences so much, I booked another tour with them the following day! Susana was a such a friendly guide, very professional, and tailored both tours around my interests! The sights were beautiful and the restaurants were excellent. They took COVID precautions very seriously and were always quick in answering all of my questions. I highly recommend this company when visiting Puebla!

We booked this tour based on it's itinerary and reviews. We do enjoy an occasional private tour. We were picked up on time at our hotel. Veronica was our guide and was amazing. We went to a flower market before getting on the floating boat. The ride was lovely. Veronica told us a lot about the city it's history and culture. We went to the Diego Rivera museum which is amazing. Then to the Coyocan market where we grabbed a bite to eat and have some free time. Then the Frida Kahlo museum which is a must see. The driver was excellent, smoothly guiding us around the city. We also stopped at the University which wads fascinating. Veronica is very proud of her city and it shows. Her energy and enthusiasm were palpable. The price for what you get is a real bargain. Highly recommend
