Hi there! I'm Adriana, your friendly local host here in Mexico City! Exploring museums and libraries is my passion – there's nothing like delving into the depths of our culture and heritage. But it's not all about the past; I adore strolling through local markets, savoring delicious treats while chatting with vendors and soaking in the atmosphere. You can often find me biking through city parks or wandering the charming streets of neighborhoods like the historic center, Condesa, Coyoacán, and Ciudad Universitaria. I know them like the back of my hand. As a Mexico City guru, I'm always eager to share my knowledge of our museums, theaters, and libraries – the beating heart of our artistic scene, there's never a dull moment in this dynamic city. Come explore with me, and let's uncover the magic of Mexico City together!

My reviews

Adriana was a fantastic guide. She emailed us right after booking to learn what we wanted to see and crafted the perfect day based on our interests. Frida Kahlo was at the top of our list, but we didn’t want to spend hours in a museum, so she took us to San Ángel to visit Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo’s studio and explore the charming cobblestone streets, then on to Coyoacán, Frida’s hometown. We enjoyed an authentic lunch at the local market and even had our faces painted for the Nov. 1 celebrations before heading to the parade. Adriana introduced us to parts of Mexico City we never would have found on our own. Her historical knowledge is remarkable, and we instantly felt comfortable with her. I wish everyone is as fortunate as we were to find the perfect tour guide.

It was the first day of my first ever visit to Mexico City, and the tour I did with Adriana went so well we extended it by an hour. I felt like I saw the Historic District through the eyes of somebody who'd lived there, while also seeing the tourist essentials. Excellent combination, very much in keeping with my wishes for the tour.
