We really enjoyed our lesson on Mexican history. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, which made the experience enjoyable and engaging. The only downside was that we couldn’t go inside some of the historical buildings in the old center. I’m not sure if it’s possible to arrange visits to those sites in advance, but our guide did a great job of sharing interesting stories and details to make up for it. Even without going inside, we still got a good sense of the area’s rich history and culture. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about Mexico.
