Hola! I'm Yara, a proud local host here in the bustling city of Mexico City. With my deep knowledge of Mexico City's diverse neighborhoods, including downtown (Centro), Condesa, Chinatown, University City UNAM, and Coyoacán (Downtown), I'm ready to show you the best that this vibrant city has to offer. One of the things I love most about Mexico City is its fantastic food. From traditional Mexican dishes to unique fusion cuisine, there's something for everyone in this city. And if you're a fan of live music, you will want to attend the mariachis that perform throughout the city. I also enjoy checking out local markets and exploring Chinatown, so if you're interested in food, shopping, or just experiencing something new, I'm your gal! So whether you're looking for the best places to eat or simply want to explore Mexico City's many wonders, I'm here to help. Let's go!

Yara was an informative, kind, and overall excellent tour guide. She took us around Condesa and Roma Norte on the evening of our arrival in Mexico City. We were staying in Condesa and wanted to get familiar with our surrounding neighborhood. She did that perfectly. She showed us the major streets, the major parks and landmarks, and a bunch of the restaurants we had reservations at over the course of our trip. She also gave us the history of the neighborhood within the long history of Mexico City and showed as some must-see spots that my wife and I had not found in our own research. Overall, it was a great way to start our trip.

It felt like walking with a friend while receiving interesting insights on the city, it's people, it's history and the day to day dynamics. Loved to be able to go on my own pace and ask all the questions that came into my mind.

Yara went above and beyond to make this experience unforgettable. Her knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems was not only extensive but also truly enlightening and captivating. Beyond her expertise, Yara is incredibly kind, considerate, and personable. She made sure I felt comfortable and engaged, tailoring the experience to my interests and needs. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring the city with a friend who genuinely cares about sharing its beauty and richness. I would take another tour with her in a heartbeat! She is a true gem and made this experience one I’ll never forget.
