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

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.

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.
