“Hector and the tour company were very accommodating to organizing the tour as we saw fit and based on the things we wanted to see. Hector had all the necessary knowledge for us to enjoy the day and understand the historical significance of what we were experiencing. This tour was part of the celebration of my 30th birthday and ended with a nightcap of drinks and a special gift from Hector which made my day! We appreciated Hector for such a great day and recommendations to use later in our trip. We highly recommend hector and this walking tour for anyone really wanting to understand how CDMX came to be…”
