We spent two months in Mexico, in both Mexico City and all around Oaxaca, and the time we spent with Moshde was by FAR the most engaging, informative, and fun! Her energy and deep knowledge of the place truly take you beyond the surface. She took incredible care of us. I couldn't recommend Moshde more for the most enjoyable and... More

Mojdeh was extremely pleasant to deal with, and helped me plan a trip to a number of markets, a pulqueria, and to tepito. I would not have been able to accomplish everything I did in such a short period without such a well thought out itinerary. Alvaro was an excellent guide and was exceedingly knowledgeable about Mexico City and its... More

We were staying in Ixtapa for 2 weeks and had 2 days in Mexico City on the way home. I contacted Mojdeh about 4 days before we were due to arrive. We had several email exchanges and we organised a full day and a half day tour. The pre tour organisation was excellent and it was clear from the email... More

Have just spent a day & a half with Alvaro as my guide in & around Mexico City. He not only knew so much about the city and especially the artworks, he was also willing to share his thoughts on both the good & bad of the cultural side. I really appreciated his open-ness & his knowledge. You could not... More

Nothing was too much trouble for my two guides that Moshde provided. I had two days free time during my stay in Mexico City and I wanted to make both count. Alvaro on day one was an art historian and sculpturer who really lifted the lid of Mexico City. We visited Collacan and Frida Khalo's museum. We enjoyed delicious local... More

As first-timers to Mexico City we looked for a local to introduce us to this vast metropolis and make the best of our time there. Luckily for us we found the link to travelmexicocity.com.mx and made contact with Mojdeh, the owner-operator of the service. From the first mail contact with her we could feel that we were on the right... More
