How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

We know that basilicas and historic landmarks might not be so much fun when you’re easily distracted and eight years old, but we’re pretty sure that the huge open parks, zip lines, and energy-fuelled days in the open air are. You’ll join one of our friendly hosts, who will make sure you can get on with the important business of enjoying yourself, while they plan your family’s day in Mexico City.

All you need to do is let us know what your family’s vibe is, and we’ll do the rest. You could explore highlights like the eco-park Bioparque Estrella, put together a picnic to enjoy at Bosque de Chapultepec; a forest where you can rent paddle boats and paddle up the river, explore monuments, or find some yummy tacos at a food stall or lakeside restaurant.

Perhaps you want to check out the miniature village at KidZania if your little ones are very little, or climb aboard one of the colorful barges of Xochimilco and discover the Ancient Aztec side of the city! Whatever it is, our host will be sure to ensure you have lots of fun in the city!

Rebecca Apr 2025

I have never had such a unique tour. Marisol asked in advance what I was hoping to get out of the tour. She crafted a morning to introduce me to the history, culture, politics and religion of Mexico city over the centuries, by visiting amazing sites I would have not even thought to see. Then when our time was done, she created a google maps walking path for me to see more sites on my own. Lovely and knowledgeable woman.

My first time in Mexico City. The day before, I was able to visit the National Museum of History in Chapultepec Park which in of itself is amazing. The museum uses beautiful murals and artwork to tell the history of Mexico. I was able to apply what I learned to the tour. This tour ended being the last thing on my trip and I truly enjoyed it. Mexicans have a funny bone which I was able to point out and both the guide Adriana and I were able to laugh. Lots of history, lots of fun. Bring a water bottle, hat or parasol, and sunscreen, the sun is no joke. I started my tour at 0800 (3hrs). I chose the private tour b/c I wanted to go at my pace

Adriana brings Mexico City's history to life while fostering real connection and intellectual conversation. Highly recommended for curious minds. She is an outstanding, knowledgeable, authentic, and thoughtful guide. She took the time to ask what we were interested in, and when we said Aztec history and the Mexican Revolution, she lit up. We had deep conversations about colonialism, inequality, and the complexities of historical figures. She didn’t shy away from tough topics and offered insights without preaching; we even swapped thoughts on our own personal cultural histories. It was the kind of tour that stays with you, not just because of the places we saw but the ideas we explored together. Adriana is someone I genuinely hope to stay in touch with. If you’re the kind of person who asks big questions and wants more than surface-level storytelling, she’s exactly who you want as your guide.

Lando was an amazing tour guide He was very well informed and up to date We saw historic sights and local areas of interest I would highly recommend him

This tour was great because the company customizes the tour to your needs and they even prepare a questionnaire before you go on the tour. But what made the tour great was Lando as he was not only knowledgeable but very entertaining to be with and most importantly knew where to go, what to eat, and what to experience so that I would have a good time. I highly recommend this tour anyone!

Rafael from CityUnscripted was excellent to customise the tour to our needs and followup with recommendations after the trip too. He was on time, spoke very well English and shared many great insights about the city. I would definitely recommend him.
