The best experience you can ever have in Mexico City for sure! The scenery on the cable car is absolutely amazing, and the entire experience was incredible. Fernando’s team was doing a great job on introducing everything and leading the guests. It was also fun to make so many travelers with different backgrounds and got to talk together. We got to see the Utopias with retired Boeing 737-300s made into a computer lab which is absolutely unheard of. Definitely invaluable experience!

There’s so much history and culture to learn and see on this tour. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mexico City (and locals). Fernando (and Alix) were great hosts. They made the group feel like we’ve all known each other before the tour.

Fernando was in touch even before the experience started to confirm the location and start time. Tour started on time. He provided a lot of useful information. We had read some of the comments about the pace of the tour - we thought it was appropriate, particularly for such a large city as Mexico City is. We didn't feel rushed, and we were able to enjoy the sights. Overall, we thought both Fernando and the tour were great.

We booked this tour out mere curiosity; we just wanted to go with the flow and thought a cable car ride would be a whole lot of fun. But it turned out to be a really amazing experience! Fernando is a very warm and welcoming guy who immediately takes you up in the life of a chilango. We explored unknown areas of Mexico City with a rich history, we saw amazing murals and even more amazing rooftop-murals. Fernando immersed us in some captivating social city-projects. I would highly recommend this tour, as there is no other way to see and learn about these rooftop murals then with the cable car. Fernando warmed us up truly for Mexico and its vibrant culture and rich history, and told us a story of hope and progress. And we took the metro ourselves the next day, proud to feel true part of the city.

This tour is a scam, the price of the ride is 7 pesos and these guys charge 700 pesos or about 35 us and you get to see one of the worst run down neighborhoods in the city apart of dangerous

Totally a scam. Untrue to the title, it is not an unexplored part of Mexico but a densily populated area. It displays the people as a touristic attraction, ACTUAL PEOPLE NOT SOME SORT OF WILDLIFE. Whoever came with the idea should be ashamed of themselves.

Superb and unique tour with lots of practical content. The guide's (Fernando) personality however, is not the right one for entertaining curious enthusiastic tourists. I found him detached, terse and combative with too many crass retorts. Note: I hesitated posting this review as I thought that I was the only one who had a mixed experience; however, on looking through recent reviews I saw only in March that someone else had the exact experience as I.

We were lucky to be able to visit Iztapalapa on Good Friday and were able to watch the first part of the re-enactment of the Passion of the Christ. Beautiful artwork on roof tops and lovely walks through a couple of neighborhoods. Great tour guide.

I don’t know why guides these days talk so fast and leave no rooms for pauses. There are so much information that you have to process and when the guide (Fernando) just rambling on without taking a break for a breath, it’s exhausting. You have to be so concentrated that after 10 min you have difficulties to follow along. And when you ask a question that apparently the guide already had mentioned, he gave you an attitude. But it was so much information and it was so fast so it was hard to keep up. And remember, English was his 2nd language and it is also mine 2nd language. And we ran from place to place. It felt like the guide just wanted to do this as quickly as possible. I tried to take photos and videos along the way but had to do it while running. I mean, come on!! The first time by the cable cars me and another tourist did stop for a moment to take some photos and when we turned around the others were gone (we were a group of 5 inc the guide) We found them but the guide gave us the blame for not coming along. But isn’t it his job to look after his clients? And the way he just kept on running it’s no wonder people got behind. He also said that we could ask questions if we want, but when we did, he said, a little annoyed, I’m gonna talk about that later…. So you ended up not wanting to ask questions because you didn’t want a reply with an attitude back. He had done this for 2 years so maybe that’s why. He knows all the info so well so he’s just saying it as fast as he can. Later in the tour when we talked normally and he didn’t gave us info, it was much more pleasant. The tour itself and the cable car ride seems like it’s something I would like to do on my own sometime, because this time was ruined.
