My husband and I took this tour with Nik and he walked us through the neighborhoods of Roma and Condesa. We were arriving later in the evening and Nik was able to meet with us later in the evening and it worked out perfect for us. Nik gave us some history of the neighborhoods, the architecture, restaurant recommendations and local parks. It was a nice way to start our trip getting to know our surroundings. Thank you Nik.

Our tour guide was Roberto. He was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our interests. We wanted to see more of the pre-columbian parts and learn more about the different phases of Mexico City. Roberto was also very open to share his personal experience as an archeologist from different sites around Mexico. We learned so much and had fun doing it.

Maxel delivered a walking tour that was worth every minute. He knew the history and the local context, but more importantly he made the city feel alive. He set the pace, checked in often, and adjusted the route based on our interests without wasting time. He balanced deep knowledge with humor and personal stories that made the experience feel genuine. If you want a tour that shows both the iconic spots and the hidden corners most people overlook, he is the person to book. My recommendation is to book Maxel early, wear comfortable shoes, and arrive with a few questions or themes you want to learn about. He is excellent at curating the experience around what you care about. You will walk away with a better understanding of the city, great recommendations, and a few stories that will stick with you. I would absolutely book with him again.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

What’s the cancellation policy?

You can cancel your booking up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before are non-refundable.

Can my experience accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes! You'll receive a questionnaire right after booking where you can note any dietary requirements, and your host will tailor the experience accordingly.

Can I request specific foods or places to eat?

Absolutely. If there are dishes you’re eager to try or areas you'd like to explore, just let us know in the questionnaire. Your host will use your input to shape a personalized food journey.

Do you use fixed restaurant stops or is it flexible?

There’s no fixed route—your host will tailor the stops based on your tastes and what’s best on the day. Some places may be planned in advance, but there's room to adapt the experience as you go.

How do you ensure food safety and hygiene?

All hosts are locals who know where to find safe, high-quality food. They avoid places with poor standards and focus on trusted spots they know well—so you can feel confident about every stop.

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a typical food tour with set stops. Instead, it’s a casual, personalized food experience led by a local who knows where the best bites are—whether it’s tiny noodle joints, late-night izakayas, or tucked-away street snacks. You’ll discover local favorites, try what excites you, and enjoy a flexible route tailored to your tastes, all at your own pace.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary..

Can I mix different themes (food, history, neighborhoods, culture, nightlife) in one experience?

While this experience focuses on food and drink, your host can also weave in local culture, neighborhoods, or a bit of history during the experience. Just share what you're curious about in the questionnaire, and your host will tailor the route to suit your taste.

Can I adjust the plan on the day?

Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.

What happens in case of bad weather?

Rain won’t stop your experience—your host will adjust the route if needed, choosing cozy indoor spots or covered food areas. City Unscripted experiences are flexible by design, and your host will make sure it’s just as enjoyable, whatever the weather.

What if a restaurant or food stall is unexpectedly closed?

It’s unlikely, as our hosts usually check opening times in advance. But if a restaurant or food stall is unexpectedly closed, your host will have backup options ready and adjust the plan on the spot. The experience is flexible, so you’ll still enjoy a great selection of local spots.
