Alex was the perfect toy guide for our Mexico City adventure! His deep knowledge, warm personality, and hilarious sense of humor made the tour unforgettable. All six of us had an absolute blast—he kept us laughing, learning, and fully engaged from start to finish. Whether he was sharing quirky toy trivia or cracking jokes, Alex made the experience feel personal and fun. Highly recommending Alex to anyone visiting Mexico City and looking for a guide who’s smart, friendly, and genuinely entertaining!

Roberto is an awesome guide filled with great history and insights. We really enjoyed our tour and felt like we got a glimpse into Mexico City. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting. We booked a four hour tour to be sure we had time to see the highlights and I still feel like we only scratched the surface of everything there is to see and do.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

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 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.

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

Are there fitness, mobility, or accessibility requirements?

This is a walking experience, but it can be tailored to suit your pace and comfort. If you have mobility concerns or would prefer to minimize walking, let us know in advance—your host can adjust the route, include public transport or rest stops to suit your needs.

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 I want to extend or shorten the day on the go?

If you’d like to extend your time with your host, simply ask if they’re available and continue the tour. Hosts can’t accept payment directly, so once you’re done, contact our customer service team at info@cityunscripted.com to arrange payment. And if you need to finish early, that’s no problem at all!
