Clara was an excellent guide for the Museum of Anthropology. It’s a fabulous museum, but we would have been completely overwhelmed without her expert insights. We had a terrific time!

great experience
We used Vibe for two tours: Teotihuacan and Museum of Anthropology.
The booking process was very easy and smooth and communication prior to the tour dates was helpful.
Fermin was our guide in Teotihuacan. He was a last minute substitute for another guide, who got sick on the day of our tour. Fermin was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, but we missed some of his comments due to to the language barrier (Fermin’s English was not the best). A shout out to our driver Ulises despite his very limited English, we had no problems communicating, he patiently waited for us while we had lunch, and he did a great job navigating the always challenging CDMX traffic, including a protest that closed down a stretch of the main highway to Teo.
Silvia was our guide at the Museum of Anthropology. She was absolutely great deep knowledge of history and culture, fun personality and excellent English.
Overall, despite a few minor bumps, we are very happy with Vibe and would recommend the company.
