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

Don your dancing shoes and get ready for a night out, Mexico City style! Head’s up, it’s probably going to involve a tequila at some point, so don’t say you weren’t warned! If your vibe sounds like a gritty, cantina type of party, you might want to head up to Centro. If you're into the high-life and classy cocktails, you're going to want to make a beeline for Polanco or Santa Fe.

The neighborhoods around San Angel and Metro Copilco also make excellent choices for mingling among a cool, younger hipster crowd. So many options. So what about a bit of everything? Then Roma or Condesa; where most of the bars and clubs in Mexico City are located, is the best bet. Begin your evening with a drink and a small appetizer, in a cozy Mexican pavement café or bar.

Whatever it is you’re after, whether it's a spot with a relaxed vibe, cool decor, and live music or an energetic, sweaty reggaeton or salsa club, your host will be sure to find you a suitable place worth checking out. Savor the last drops of daylight as you watch the sunset over the Mexico City skyline. One thing’s for sure, your evening will be one to remember, filled with beautiful sights and a few too many drinks and laughs, if you play your cards right.

Ninelth was such a wonderful guide! It was my first time in Mexico City on a one night layover. She took me around Coyoacan and explained the sights and history behind the neighborhood. In just a short visit I learned so much.

We had a great time with Lando wandering around Condesa and eating delicious tacos. Lando then took us on the Metrobus towards downtown and sent us a bunch of recommendations for the rest of your day.

I could not have asked for a better introduction to Mexico City than Marisol’s hosted experience. She took the time to understand what I was interested in and tailored the day accordingly. I loved that she showed me a slice of the real Mexico, always ensuring I was comfortable and safe. Her knowledge of the history and architecture of Mexico City was very impressive, and her love and passion for her hometown shone through. The highlight of the day was when she arranged for a mariachi band to serenade me on my 50th birthday! It is a memory I will keep with me always! Marisol is a wonderful human and I really enjoyed spending time with her. I hope to catch her again in Australia, where I can play host!

Lando is an excellent and knowledgeable guide who clearly has a passion for history and for Mexico City. He took us to many interesting places in downtown Mexico City and showed us and explained different buildings and architecture as the history of those places. We highly recommend Lando as a wonderful guide for Mexico City.

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
