If you are looking for a fabulous driver while in Mexico City, I have the perfect recommendation…read morefor you! Victor Valdez. (FYI, Victor also sometimes drives for clients and celebrities at one of the large local 5 star hotels. Yes, he's THAT good and professional!)
A friend from Mexico City had recommended Victor to us as being completely trustworthy and a very safe and totally professional driver who has good English language skills. He was right on all those counts, but that only scraped the surface of what a pleasant experience our two days with Victor were. We were driven around in a very comfortable, immaculately clean and new looking black Suburban. Victor always had bottled water available for us to drink. He helped us plan and take a day trip to Teotihuacan, Aztec city of pyramids, about 30 miles from Mexico City. (I hadn't been as keen on going as my husband and yet it turned out to be the highlight of our trip! Highly recommended.) We also were driven to see many of the highlights of Mexico City including the historic center, Frieda Kahlo's Blue House and museum, Coyocan-Old Town, and more. On our longest day, when my elderly father and I just got too tired, Victor kindly went and got the car so that we didn't have to walk back to it. Very much appreciated :)
There were three things in particular that Victor did for us that went above and beyond normal driving duties. We had a parcel that needed to be mailed within Mexico and were too late to mail it at the Post Office, so Victor offered to take it to FedEx to mail for us! On checking into our AirBnB there was a problem gaining access, so Victor called our host for us and orchestrated the necessary steps to help us gain entry. He also took us to buy a local SIM card for our phone and handled the rapid fire Spanish-language transaction. Something else that was very helpful is that Victor is quite knowledgeable about local restaurants (very good suggestions always!) and events that are happening in town. You absolutely couldn't do better than to hire Victor as your driver (our cost for 3 people was about $150USD per day, for a full day both in the city and just outside it.)
We are seldom as impressed as were were by Victor and his strong desire to provide outstanding (and friendly) customer service. Do yourself a favor while in Mexico City, make your time there much less stressful and more productive...hire Victor!
