Extremely disappointed. This was one of the worst experiences we’ve ever had. We paid over $800 for a private tour and It’s the first time I am complaining annd will request a partial refund. Our tour guide stopped providing history/details after our first itinerary stop. He continually walked ahead of us and seemed more concerned with his phone, speaking to people he knew on the different stops, etc. We turned down two stops in the tour because we wanted the tour to end as quickly as possible because we felt we could see the sights better on our own. This experience was so poor that I have lost confidence in using Viator again and will no Longer recommend to friends and colleagues.

Hi Tatiana, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially for a private tour. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. Your comments regarding the guide’s lack of engagement and attentiveness are very concerning, and we will be addressing this situation directly with our team to ensure it does not happen again. We completely understand how disappointing this must have been, particularly when you were looking forward to a personalized and enriching experience. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us and helps us improve. Kind regards,

This is a full day of exploring in Mexico City. There are several stops for walking, connected by bus trips. Our guide Sergio was full of interesting information and answered many questions along the way. We thought a high point was the canal boat trip. Dozens of boats , colorfully painted, bumping along into each other. Mariachi music blasting away.

The first part of the morning, walking to the Zocalo was good and the guide informative. The second part of the trip in an older van manual transmission was jerky and uncomfortable for a long journey to the Xochimilo. The trip on the boat was very disappointing, the food expensive and very poor. It was not worth $250 CDN.

Hi Alison, thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed the morning portion of the tour with the guide. We’re sorry the transportation wasn’t as comfortable as it should have been — we’ll be reviewing this to improve the experience for future guests. As for the food at Xochimilco, we understand tastes differ, and we’re sorry it wasn’t to your preference. This part is optional and not included in the tour. Thank you again for your feedback and for traveling with us.

The tour guide was noticeably less knowledgeable than others we had had during our trip to Mexico. While other guides even shared the interesting findings of their dissertations with us, this guide confused basic historical names and facts. We had initially booked the tour in Spanish, but agreed to take it in English since one of the people in our initial group of four did not speak the language. However, her English was almost unintelligible and it made for a very poor experience. Regarding the organization of the tour, the entire thing felt improvised and rushed. By the tour guide’s own admission, she had no knowledge of how many people were in the group, which led to her trying to leave one other person behind, and then actually leaving me and my husband behind at one point. She failed to communicate delays or give instructions. I had included a lunch fee with the initial booking, but she had no idea. I had to check the booking again just to make sure. By that point we were fed up and left the tour early and arranged for our own transportation back to the hotel. This tour stood out as the worst experience in the whole trip.
