This was one of the best tours I’ve ever done. Pao was a great tour guide. Very well versed and engaging with all of us on the tour. I felt like I learned a lot from her. I believe I drivers name was Juan, apologies if I have it wrong but I felt very safe with his driving. You will have access to places most don’t while in CDMX. I definitely will be taking a different version of their tour when I come back. Gracias

Juan O'Gorman Tour. Fantastic! Knowledgeable, insightful, interesting, engaged guide. Perfect itinerary with time to think & see. Access to Conlon Nancarrow's home/studio - amazing! Great driver too. For anyone who is interested in 20th c design/architecture.

It was a great tour! The guide lady gave us a nice lecture of Barragan's works. Muchas Gracias!

8/27/24- We took a private Mexico City Neighborhoods Tour with Andres, our tour guide, and the very gregarious driver, Luis! They were both a joy to spend a beautiful day with! They picked us up in a bright orange VW Combi van and showed us the highlights of Mexico City. My sister has some mobility issues and they were very helpful and patient with getting her as close to the sites as possible. They gave us time to explore and shop as we wanted, also. Andres, who is a professor of architecture, gave us a nice historical overview of the city and lots of interesting information. We saw the Zocalo, Centro, enjoyed views of the city from a rooftop restaurant. We had a beautiful lunch at a hacienda in San Angel from Andres recommendation. 10/10 I completely recommend a tour with The Traveling Beetle! Andres and Luis were amazing and it was a day well spent.

I can’t wait to come back to Mexico City to do more tours with Traveling Beetle. Fantastic experience all around and topped off by the wonderfully restored VW van we were carted around in. The tour was incredible. I highly recommend for any and all architecture buffs out there!

Our tour was so fantastic in 2023 that when we returned to Mexico City in 2024, we had to book another! This time we went on The Luis Barragán Tour (Private Tour), making stops at all of the locations that were open during the first week of the new year. If traveling to Mexico in early January make note that many destinations may be closed. Traveling Beetle tour guide Andres was so impressive on our first excursion that I couldn't imagine riding with anyone else for our next. Thankfully he was available for this tour! It was another magical day exploring the magnificent creations of Luis Barragán. As anticipated, Andres was superb in sharing the history of the iconic architect, guiding us through the city with the utmost care and attention to detail. It was an unforgettable tour that I give my highest recommendation. Cannot wait to return for another round. Muchas gracias Traveling Beetle!

No person in the history of tour guides has been, or ever will be, as amazing as Miguel. We had a wonderful and informative visit to three Barragan sites. As a working architect, Miguel offered interesting anecdotal and historically relevant information that provided a memorable experience for us. He was sensitive to our needs and has a solid sense of humor. We felt very relaxed. Take this tour and tip well!

The Traveling Beetle is a next-level tour experience. The guides (in the case of our Northern Barragan tour, Luis) are so much more than guides. For example, Luis is a practicing architect with a scholar's understanding of Barragan's work and its historical/social context. But while he delivered first rate intellectual content, he did so with the verve and personality of someone you might hope to have as a friend if you lived in CDMX. I'd take all of the company's tours if I had the time.

Really great experience at the TOWERS OF SATÉLITE & CUADRA SAN CRISTÓBAL TOUR. Our guide Martin was very knowledgeable and answered our questions about the architecture and about Mexico City itself. Easy communication with the booking agents before the tour, too. Muchas gracias to guide Martin and driver Alex for a great tour!

Amazing tour with very knowledgable and friendly architect-guide. Gave a perfect introduction into Luiz Barragan's Oeuvre. Very recommendable tour for architects and architecture lovers! Congrats Traveling Beetle!

Our guide Andres was wonderful and full of knowledge on the Barragan sites we visited. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mexico City with an interest in art and architecture.

We took the Southern Barragan Tour yesterday. Like the Northern Barragan Tour was 3 days ago, this was excellent. Paulina provided an architect + interior designer's professional insight, interpreting at Capuchins and guiding at Pedregal and Gilardi. She directed our fantastic lunch experience, and she and driver Juanito stayed late while we ordered takeout from the same place, then drove us to our next Airbnb. Juanito kept our 3 bags of soft luggage safe all day in the trunk of the charming convertible Beetle. Paulina introduced us to and debriefed us on the sites while driving, and even squeezed in two art gallery visits enroute to Casa Gilardi. Very professional all round.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the City Neighborhoods tour. Louis was a wonderful guide for the day, full of interesting and relevant info on city history and the current challenges the city is facing. CDMX is huge and congested and our driver “the other Louis” piloted us to both the southern and northern reaches of the city, where we toured some wonderful neighborhoods on a busy Saturday, walked through numerous vibrant markets and several museums and had lunch at a great taqueria. It was a fun day, and the three additional tour guests in our VW bus helped create a lively congenial tour.

I was looking forward to visiting some of Barragan's works, and this tour did not disappoint. Miguel our our guide and Alejandro our driver were absolutely the best! Definitely made some friends. We learned so much! Got in a lot of the city as well so that was a plus, also further recommendations. Would definitely recommend!

Did the Barragan North Tour with our guide Andres and our drive Luis and they were both so lovely, knowledgeable and fantastic! We didn't opt for the picnic lunch but they recommended a great seafood and taco spot for us to eat mid-day! Even though it is a jam-packed day it flew by and we were so happy with all we got to see and experience. Highly recommend!
