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 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.

We booked a several day tour with Estigo. The owner Gonzalo was super responsive and helpful. He hooked us up with Mariana and her van Gordita in CDMX and it was perfect. Mariana was like a friend, nanny, and tour guide. She picked us up from the airport and spent pretty much 4 days with us. The price was really reasonable. Mariana will have a place in our heart and we look forward to seeing her again.
