Loved Alex, our tour guide! I do feel like the tour was overpriced for what you get, but I enjoyed the small group and air-conditioned van in the heat. The tour itself was about 3 hours, then we stopped to eat at Mi Tierra. It’s worth mentioning that there is a bit of walking as part of the tour. If you have mobility issues, be aware of this. The first stop at La Villita included a bit of standing and walking around.

I booked online which was fine, but they messed up our reservation and booked us on the wrong tour.

This tour was a little more expensive than other Greyline tours that I have done but overall it was worth it.. We did only the half day tour.
