Summary: What a great way to start your visit to amazing Mexico City. Our guide was Andres, and he was exceptional. He was funny, he was endearing, and he was able to offer a fairly complex amount of history without overwhelming us. We learned so much and this walking tour laid the foundation for a better understanding of this crazy but wonderful city.
