This was a wonderful tour overall, and having a private tour guide like Lando was worth the price. Lando was helpful, solicitous, and knowledgeable. He was happy to take videos and photos of us so we could enjoy the tour, and knew a lot about the things we asked and saw. He was a good driver, his car was clean, and we enjoyed talking to him.

The tour itself was also great overall. Having Lando help us find the right boat for the canals was the ideal alternative to the party experience others might have on the boats. We wanted a quiet, lovely boat ride through the canals and that's what we got!

The tour around Coyoacan was also great--it's an interesting town within greater CDMX and is well worth a visit. We had to book our tickets to the Frida Kahlo Museum separately, since that's not included, but Lando dropped us off right on time.

The only things we didn't absolutely love: the visit to the University/Stadium was interesting, but not really necessary for us. And we maybe could have gone to a different restaurant for lunch in Coyocan. It was very affordable and maybe very classic, but the food wasn't that great for us.

Still, we strongly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a lovely day in these areas with a knowledgable and helpful guide!
