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 mostWhat you’ll do
You’ll join one of our local Mexico City hosts, and promptly head straight to the arty enclave of Roma; an area with a hipster edge, where you’ll no doubt fall in love with the perfect combination of colorful colonial buildings, Art Nouveau architecture, quirky bookshops, and veggie food spots.
Maybe you’ll eat and drink your way through the district, cafe hopping your way through quirky coffee shops, sip on a beer, or taste your way through the diverse food scene. Perhaps you’ll stop by Mercado Roma; a covered market where you can fill your tummy at some of Mexico City’s most popular eateries.
Try a tamal de queso con rajas, tacos del restaurante from Azul Histórico, or delicious churros from El Moro. But time waits for no one, so it’s on to Condesa! For creatives and art lovers, this neighborhood is a great place to explore.
Perhaps you’ll check out the leafy green Parque Mexico for an afternoon in the sunshine, grab a snack from an all-day street vendor; like fresh coconut juice, juicy pineapples, or sticky sweet potatoes covered in cream.
Relish in the local vibe and enjoy a full sensory experience with your host, exploring restaurants, cafes, street art, quirky shops, bars, and a diverse nocturnal neighborhood.

My husband and I took this tour with Nik and he walked us through the neighborhoods of Roma and Condesa. We were arriving later in the evening and Nik was able to meet with us later in the evening and it worked out perfect for us. Nik gave us some history of the neighborhoods, the architecture, restaurant recommendations and local parks. It was a nice way to start our trip getting to know our surroundings. Thank you Nik.

Adriana was a fantastic, thoughtful, and intuitive guide! She shared a great mixture of neighborhood history, current hidden gems, and general information about Mexican culture. She was extremely responsive and engaged ahead of the tour and followed up afterwards with details of some of the places we had seen. Meeting with her was the perfect start to my solo trip and helped me feel immediately comfortable and excited to be in CDMX!

Ernesto is a rock star! He was humorous, considerate, and super knowledgeable. I could have listened to him all day talk about the neighborhoods in Mexico City and Mexico in general.
