Y no deberías hablar castellano estando en México?
@lenorecohen4428 didnt he mistreated a merchant while filming this???? you can look it up, he and his team prevented a worker to do his job
Antoni, mi momento favorito es tu paseo matinal por las chinampas de Xochimilco. Estar allí es mágico y lo remonta a uno a cientos de años atrás como debió haber sido un punto de México-Tenochtitlan.
Siempre Rosetta 🙄Let it go, there’s a lot of better spots
I was there this past April of 2026 for two weeks and we were wowed and felt we didn’t get to see it all so we are going back in December. Can’t wait❤❤❤❤❤
Never forget the crew team harassed locals while recording the parade scene because they were not suitable enough for the aesthetics of the project
Te amo Antoni, siempre tan lindo.
México lindo como México no hay dos
¿Por qué siguen llevando a los turistas a ver las muñecas?
Es horrible y le quitó toda la belleza que ya tenía ese paseo.
A fuerza tienen que ser estridentes.
What an amazing video, showcasing what Mexico City is all about! And done so brilliantly. Congrats.
This video showed me a side of Mexico City that I did not know exists. I LOVE those canals and I will do that someday soon!
Te amo Mexico lindo y querido 🇲🇽
Such a beatiful place!!
