I apologize for being so late. I thought I had already rated the tour. It was a really interesting tour and I'd say the most interesting part of my time in Mexico City. Monica is a very excellent guide.

Monica was wonderful and led us on an inspiring and fun exploration of Coyoacan, including the Casa Azul (Frida Kahlo museum), the Trotsky museum, the marketplace, historic church and other significant buildings. She answered questions we had about Mexico with her in-depth knowledge of the culture and history. She was flexible regarding where to eat and what to see, and everything went very well. There was no language barrier, as she is fluent in English. It was a highlight of our week in Mexico.

Monica was absolutely fantastic. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. She had a deep understanding of culture and science which we really appreciated. She was easy to talk with and was very responsive to questions. She went above and beyond our expectations to show us unique things. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, and would recommend her to anyone interested in coming to Mexico City.

Monika was very accommodating to our group of 4 women, including our shopping fun! It would have been nice, however, if she reached out and informed us well in advance to purchase advance tickets to Frieda Kahlo house. While her tour description stated to do so generally, when I went on line 3 days in advance the tickets were all gone.
