DanielW, amazing pictures as usual. I do not know how you were awake on the 1st day in Mexico and not fall asleep throughout the tour. #whoneedssleepright ?

Your photos are beautiful. Thank you for writing this report and posting them.
The tours look like they were interesting and well-organised; usually I try to do my own thing, but these look worthwhile. I also speak this much > < Spanish.

Thank you, flatlander. Yes, I'm not a fan of '20+ people on a bus all day' type tours, but smaller groups of 7-8 people are a good compromise when I want to see more of a place with the bonus of meeting other travelers too.

By the way to the original poster, I decided to copy your entire trip down to the hotel and tours. Will be in CDMX for roughly the same amount of time. I had originally booked the FS but sadly a travel companion cancelled, leaving me to do this trip solo. I adjusted the price point accordingly, since its just me.

I always enjoy a DanielW report... and this one especially as I'm finally visiting Mexico City for the first time (after many years of anticipation) in a few months' time
