I was surprised to be the only person on this tour. But Julio immediately made me feel right at home. I learned so much about the city and the sites I never would have learned on my own. We spent the entire day together and it was like being with a cool local friend who just happened to be more well-informed than most people. I was having such a great time that I almost forgot to take pictures! I wanted to see a place not on itinerary and Julio dropped me off at the end, going out of his way to do so. He was amazing, and some of the knowledge he passed on I continued to use the rest of the week and in turn passed on to other travelers. I'm glad I booked this for my first full day in Mexico City!

Great introduction to the history of Mexico City by our guide Pili, who was fantastic, knowledgable and friendly. Great coffee and snack stop too, all part of the tour. We ended by being pointed in the right direction to the artisan markets and ended our day with some great buys...... another winner by Urban Adventures.

Our guide was Evaluz Espejel (Eve), a vivacious young-at-heart who was not only very knowledgeable about the places we visited, but also very passionate about Mexico, Mexico City and travel as a whole. She offered personal insights that may or may not be part of the "script" which made the tour less clinical, less observational and somewhat more participatory given the time constraint. She even sometimes, I felt, included her own little "side trips" (like stopping at a corner of the city, pointing out small detail of architecture or explaining some events currently happening on the street). Our group was small (3 including me), so the tour was quite personal and intimate. I didn't feel hurried at all, especially that I photograph almost anything that interests me. There was enough time to absorb and understand the "sensory assault" (how else could I call it?) that is Mexico City - visual, auditory, smell, taste, touch, even movement, guided expertly by Eve. Consider this: the tour went through exploring ancient history in Templo Mayor, and the Spanish occupation in the zocalo and Metropolitan Cathedral with a pause for refreshments in a charming outdoor food stand, through strolling on the pedestrian only shopping streets full of people, to walking through a restaurant housed in an architecturally significant building, to viewing modern art in Bellas Artes, through to gawking at shops in Chinatown, to tasting various traditional and not so traditional food at the Mercado de San Juan, walking through the lovely French style Alameda Park, and ending in closely examining the famous "Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park" mural at the Diego Rivera Museum. Yup, the tour was certainly stimulating all the senses. As an added health benefit: I walked close to 6 miles (just a little under 10 kilometers), 13,764 steps and climbed an equivalent to 9 floors during the tour. No wonder Eve looks so fit!!
