CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Cynthia explained the whole history to us in the best way; she is super knowledgeable about the subject.Sep 20265/5Leonor was just incredible! Touring Chapultepec Castle with her ended up being a huge highlight of our Mexico City adventure. She was super warm, easy to talk to, and knew so much. What stood out most is how she shared all the backstories about the art, architecture, and people, so it wasn’t just a lecture. You feel her love for the culture. Leonor answered all our questions, felt more like touring with a friend than anything else. Honestly, if you’re in Mexico City, I’d say try to get Leonor —you’ll get so much more out of it. Five stars for sure!Sep 20265/5Touring Chapultepec with Romi was such a treat. Right from the start, his excitement for Mexico’s story drew everyone in. He’s awesome at making all the complicated stuff make sense and keeps things interesting. What I liked most was how he connected all the dots between places and people, so you really get how Chapultepec fits into Mexico’s history. He’s super knowledgeable, but his energy and friendly vibe are what made it stick. If you get the chance, definitely book with Romi—this was a major highlight for us.RRebecca M
