You will get a confirmation email once you finish your booking. From this moment your tour is confirmed: just show up agreed time and location (we might contact you for extra info if needed). Please be able to present your booking confirmation or voucher (can be in the electronic version on your phone) to your tour guide upon his/her request.
BOOKING & CONFIRMATION Automatic confirmation (your departure is automatically confirmed and 100% guaranteed). You will get a confirmation message from us once your booking is completed. Please be ready to present your booking confirmation (which can be in the electronic version on your phone) to your tour guide if requested. DEPARTURE POINT & TIME Private pick-up & drop-off are included: please indicate the exact pick-up time and location during your booking (e.g. in the 'Special Requirements' field). If you cannot find this field, just reply to the booking confirmation that you get with your pick-up details at least 48h before the tour. We can pick you up from hotels and apartments situated in the following parts of Mexico City: Centro Historico, Reforma, Polanco, Condesa, and Roma; other more remote locations might involve an extra fee (10-40 USD based on the distance). Default departure times (which can be seen when choosing a tour date) can be adjusted upon your request. We can start the tour almost any time (when the main attractions of the tour are open) but due to traffic conditions in Mexico City, earlier departures are always preferred. CUSTOMIZATION Our private tour is customizable which means the time you spend in each destination can be adjusted to your needs. E.g. if you wanna visit a place that is not part of the default itinerary (e.g. an attraction, restaurant, or market), you can do it on a complimentary basis if this visit (1) fits the default duration of the tour and (2) doesn't involve a major change of the route. If both conditions are met, we can shorten the stay at a particular location included in the program of tour so that you have time to visit the place you are interested in. Other changes such as extending the duration of the tour, changing the route, and adding extra participants, should be communicated to the Company at least 48 h before the tour and will involve an extra fee.
