Must see Mexico City with a local

What you'll do

You’ll spend with one of our friendly Mexico City hosts, getting to know the city's highlights and local haunts. The city has such an incredible history, which is why you might like to start in Zócalo, an ancient square that used to be the center of the Aztec Empire before it was captured by the Spanish colonists.

Follow your host around the surprisingly green broadways of the city center as they share its rich heritage with you. From old school bars (cantinas) to sleek museums that look like something out of the future, Mexico City will surprise you will its nod to both the past and present.

Explore the Bosque de Chapultepec, a large inner-city park that’s considered Mexico City’s green lung, and even make friends with the sweet little squirrels that live there! From the top of its rocky outcrop, you can get spectacular views of the cityscape.

Whatever you’d like to do, be it take in the famous sites, like the Ángel de la Independencia, or stroll around a quirky neighborhood, your host has got you covered and will make up for any Spanish you lack.

    Ernesto is very knowledgeable of the area and is truly fluent in English. He was able to effortlessly listen to our ideas and guide us around to places to see and experience while also giving interesting cultural and historical information.

    Had an awesome time with Ernesto! He was a very friendly and down to earth guy. This was my first time in Mexico City and he gave me a great introduction to the city. Even with the little time we had, we covered many areas. There were some places I would've never known if he hadn't shown me. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered every question I had. The guy is like a walking encyclopaedia for Mexico City. Definitely can't go wrong with him as your guide!

    Fantastic tour around the city from Ninelth. She customised my trip according to my interests, taking in the sights of the historic center, and the areas of Condesa and Roma. She is very personable and her knowledge of the city is superb - really brought it to life.
