Mia Kayser22 August 2024I stumbled upon Axolotours by happenstance during my short stay in Coyoacán and I couldn’t have been more impressed. Paco’s love for the city where he was born and raised radiated through his knowledge of it, from his vast historical and geographical knowledge to the cuisine. He answered our many questions thoroughly with care, and i left the tour with a deep appreciation for the neighborhood. Paco is an example of someone who is doing exactly what he was meant to do. He is an intelligent, humble individual whose warm personality will make anyone feel like they are in good hands. I could not recommend Axolotours enough!
José Bastidiolles16 August 2024Great tour of Coyoacan with Paco ! Would definitely recommend it to solo or group travelers
mirre wijnhoven5 June 2024I really enjoyed my tour through Coyoacan with Paco. He was really knowledgable and fun to be around. I liked this way of exploring the neighbourhood instead of doing it myself. This way I learned a lot about the history and about where to go. Would really recommend!
Lin Lin Ngu4 April 2024Excellent tour with great explanations!
mike nikolaou22 March 2024Had a great tour of Coyoacan with Paco, he was knowledgeable and able to answer the trickiest of questions! He was fun to talk to - we discussed art, politics and history of the country - and we saw parts of the area we wouldn't have discovered by ourselves. He also gave me a suggestion for a market I was unaware of - good job Paco!
