He showed us some really interesting things and important details at the archeological site, and visiting the site was a once in a lifetime experience. It was about 12 hours total starting early in the morning, so be ready for a long day, but well worth it.”

There’s a guy taking pics of you to then sell them for $208 for package or $50 per pic. My husband and I were put on separate camels instead of one camel even though we didn’t request it. We later saw a couple get on the camel that he ride slow e and another couple on the camel I rode alone. I asked if we could get the two pics for the price of one since we were put in separate camels and they said no. They…”

Spend about nine hours touring southern Mexico City with an English or Spanish guide. Walk colonial Coyoacán, choose one Frida Kahlo museum, cruise Xochimilco’s canals by colorful trajinera, and see UNAM murals. Central meeting points are used, while private tours include hotel pickup.

“We did the Xochimilco, Coyoacan and Frida Kahlo tour and had a great experience overall. Our guides, Alex Moreno and Lilly, were energetic and really knowledgeable, and Cesar (our driver) kept everything running smoothly. The day felt organized without being rushed, and the explanations throughout were genuinely interesting. I learned a lot. We didn’t opt in for the lunch or the Frida Kahlo Museum, and that worked out perfectly for us. During the museum time, we explored the Coyoacán area, did some shopping in the mercado, and still met back up with the group easily. We also ate at the same restaurant as everyone else, and I’m pretty sure we…”
