Overview

Spend half the day with one of our friendly local guides absorbing the colorful energy of Mexico City as you hit the streets and explore together. Discover neighborhoods like Coyoacán (named after the wily coyote), where you can see Frida Kahlo’s old house, La Casa Azul (The Blue House) or take to Zócalo, the city’s main public square and one of the largest of its kind in the world. The remnants of Mexico City's ancient past are still visible and your host will show you some ruins from this time period as well as the other wonders of the city. Your tour can be completely personalized to your interests and needs, as can your local guide... Our handpicked hosts are culinary connoisseurs and history buffs, bakers and bankers, students and seniors. Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.

Walking tour of the city focused on history and culture!

Published on Nov, 2024

Our guide really knew the history and culture and gave a great picture of the city. Helped to set our schedule for the rest of the trip.

Oskar is the best!

Published on Nov, 2024

Oskar was the perfect guide for us. He asked about our interests, proposed some itineraries, and carried out a very thoughtful and personalized tour. We ended feeling like we have better understanding and appreciation of the rich cultural history of Mexico.

Taylor made, accommodating and knowledgeable tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Lando was a very accommodating and knowledgeable tour guide. I was not feeling 100% and Lando adjusted the tour to suit my capabilities. Once I booked the tour, a questionnaire was sent to me to ensure the company assign the most suited tour guide for my interests. Fully recommended.

Great CDMX experience

Published on Oct, 2024

Monica was an exceptional guide showing us some beautiful buildings and sharing their history. Also took us to some unique views the general public does not see. We explored the Centro/Zocalo area and Coyoacan. Took good care of us wherever we encountered large crowds.
