My partner and I had an educational and insightful tour of Centro Histórico with David in December…read more2023. His deep appreciation of the peoples and cultures that have made Mexico City a thriving metropolis for seven centuries was evident in each interaction he had with a local citizen and in every choice he made regarding where to visit and what to point out. With a deep understanding of what makes a city great, and keeping in mind our particular interests, David was able to put together a perfect tour for us. We really enjoyed spending the day with him. Fellow travelers will benefit from his deep curiosity and his keen eye for the nuance and detail of this sprawling city- his home for the past thirty years. We highly recommend David as a tour guide and look forward to exploring the city further with him the next time we visit.

We spent 6 hours with David walking through the Condesa and Roma neighborhoods. Throughout the…read moretour, David pointed out interesting historical and architectural details, and made sure to include visits to several neighborhood markets. He also recommended a wonderful restaurant where we took a break and enjoyed a delicious Yucatecan lunch. We had been a bit apprehensive and even intimidated to go on a neighborhood tour with a published author, no less, but as soon as we began our walk our fears melted away; David is a lovely and charming person, a real pleasure to hang out with. Before we traveled to Mexico City, we read David's book, "First Stop in the New World," which painted vivid and evocative vignettes of the Mexico City of 2008, when the book was published. Walking the Roma and Condesa streets with David made the book come alive. David's deep knowledge of the city, gained over 25 years of living and working there as a journalist, was very evident during our tour. His curiosity about the city and its people is infectious. From everything we'd read about Mexico City, we knew we were going to love it once we traveled there. Spending the day with David walking the streets of this great city made us love it even more. We look forward to taking another tour with him when we visit next, perhaps in the Centro Histórico or Coyoacán/San Ángel.

Journeys Beyond the Surface is an excellent arranger / provider of guide services for a visitor to…read moreMexico City. We spent 5 days exploring the city, partially on our own following suggestions from Journeys and partially with the personal guidance of their field guides. Our explorations were closely tailored to match our specific interests. This was a "bespoke" experience. The guides were very knowledgeable. Their commentary and observations, placing much in a local and historical context was very valuable for us. Details of any one's days explorations could be altered as the day evolved. Very flexible. We are an older couple with significant travel experience in western Europe but we lacked similar experience in Mexico. Our Spanish language skills were weak. Journeys made a significant contribution to the quality of our experience. Highly recommended.

I was looking for a tour guide who could take two people on an in-depth colonial art and…read morearchitecture day trip from Mexico City to Puebla with stops in Cholula and at the Church of Santa María Tonantzintla. I also wanted background in Mexican history, and thought it likely that I was asking too much of a one day tour. But Mojdeh set us up with our guide Maria, who was absolutely fantastic. We effectively had a day-long seminar that was perfectly tailored to our interests, which is what I had been hoping for. Maria was exceptionally knowledgeable, and shared her knowledge in a very accessible and engaging way. Our driver Frede was outstanding. We felt very safe and he handled an unexpected road closure very well.

Completely, and I mean completely worth it if you are visiting the city! Sundays is free to most…read moreMexican Nationals but still everyday it only costs foreigners like me about $10 US to get in. I spent 4 hours here and I definitely could have spent longer. I would say about 2/3 to the signs had English translations with them which was very helpful for me. It starts from all the pre civilization days and makes its way up to the pre-columbian civilizations of Mexico in the last couple thousand years and is divided mostly through the regions. Not a lot on post Spanish colonization but that was okay. You can definitely learn about that at the National History museum instead. There were so many artifacts here to see. Like I felt like it was a gold mine and so completely worth! We're talking Artifacts that are pretty damn priceless. Definitely coming back here again in the future!

If you're only going to visit one place in Mexico City-I feel the Museum of Anthropology has to be…read morea top 2 or 3 contenders of must-visit spots. It truly is an incredible place-let me tell you why. When we planned our trip to Mexico City,the one place I wanted to visit was all the famous taco shops-what can I say,I'm a simple man. The wife though,a native of Mexico and much more classy and refined person than I am,insisted that the number one place we had to visit on our trip to Mexico City was this historic museum. She was right of course. I was thinking that we would go there,spend an hour or two looking at some old statues and ruins and be on our way to the next Mexico City taco adventure.Boy was I wrong,she had earmarked an entire morning and afternoon for our visit to the museum and it wasn't enough. This place didn't seem like much from the outside but once you got in,it was truly mind blowing.It's a really big museum,covering in excess of 10 acres. The museum is split into 23 galleries exploring all five major eras in Mexico history starting with the Prehistoric period dating back to 10,000 BC all the way up to Modern Indigenous Mexico which runs from around 1500 to present. This museum covers an enormous amount of time in Mexico's history. Some of the true highlights from my visit. -The Aztec Sun Stone-most likely the most famous piece of Mexico's history. -The Olmec Colossal Heads-Truly breath taking works,visually stunning. -The Maya Galleries-A true display of how advanced the Mayan people were in science,engineering & art. -The Aztec Hall-easily my favorite gallery,the Aztec people were so advanced of a society and this hall does it best to show you all the ways that they were-a must-see exhibit. -The Umbrella Fountain-this sits in the middle of the main courtyard and truly is one of the great works of architecture Mexico has ever produced-it's so cool to see! The museum is located in the heart of Chapultepec Park,so be sure when going to the museum,your driver drops you off at the correct side of the park or else you will be in for a very long walk to the museum. The museum does have a pretty extensive gift shop,so if one is so inclined, it's very easy to find a souvenir or two to bring home. This review has barely scratched the surface of what you are going to experience when you visit this amazing museum,I truly hope if you ever find yourself in Mexico City,you are lucky enough to visit this truly amazing place.
