“This tour exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, David, was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and gave us some cool stories about Coyoacan. I LOVED biking through the neighborhood and alleys. It was probably my favorite part. We also got churros, tostadas and horchata. At the end we went to the Casa Azul and it was a beautiful way to end the day. I would absolutely recommend this tour and I'd do it again if i had more time.”
