The best Mexico City private tours & experiences with locals

A colorful hub of cool kids and creatives, Mexico City has become one of the most vibrant destinations in the world. Our private Mexico City tours with locals let you experience this exciting city beyond its stunning architecture and ancient Aztec landmarks (although you’ll definitely squeeze some of those in too!). With a like-minded local guide leading the way, you’ll get to see the sides of the city that only reveal themselves to the people who call Mexico City home. Discover the true spirit of CDMX at its old-school cantinas, taco carts, and trendy, tree-lined neighborhoods far away from the bustling city center on our Mexico City tours.

More than Mexico City’s must-sees

From the iconic Metropolitan Cathedral to the ancient Teotihuacan pyramids just outside the city, the Mexican capital is brimming with attractions that regularly make it to the top of travel lists. But some of the city’s most incredible experiences are the ones that you couldn’t even find in your guidebook. On our Mexico City tours with locals, our insiders give you an authentic snapshot of the local lifestyle that can’t be found at its tourist traps – instead, they’re at the unassuming street food carts, cool boutiques, and hidden drinking holes where locals gather to share a beer.

Latest reviews from our guests

We had an awesome 6 hour tour with Marisol! We had a 28 hour stopover in Mexico City and wanted to see as much as we could during the day. The tour is extremely customizable and we were able to select everything we wanted to do and see based on our interests. We even needed to make a quick stop to the doctor and pharmacy and Marisol helped us with that and we greatly appreciated her kindness and patience. Marisol was very knowledgeable and her passion for her culture and hometown really shows. We ate some amazing street food and other treats and also got to see a lot of things during our one day in Mexico City. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour again and I highly recommend Marisol as a guide.

From the moment I met Ninelth it has been exceptional. From the notes before we met, to the personalized tour to the understanding that is was only 1 not two but from our beginning I learned so much about Mexico City and Mexico that I found myself teaching others as I moved through the city. I consider this one of my best tours ever taken in the world.

Wonderful introduction to Mexico City. Oskar was an incredible guide - he was so knowledgeable and incorporated history and current events throughout the tour. In addition to the downtown highlights, we visited places that I would never have found on my own - hidden murals, galleries, libraries doubling as art installations, convents, shops, etc. highly recommend Oskar!

Lando is an absolutely amazing guide! His love of Mexico City and its people, his knowledge of its history and culture, and his true joy in sharing all of this are both amazing and so special. He is absolutely worthy of our highest recommendation. Totally worth the price, and 7 times that!
