Experience Mexico City
Beyond the Guidebooks

Marisol gave us 3 1/2 hours of education…history, architecture , art, culture. Had us meet her in the historic district, thus avoiding wasting valuable time in transit. Finished off with a street taco experience.

Marisol gave our family a wonderful tour. She was knowledgeable, did a great job explaining things, and focused on those areas that were of most interest to us. Highly recommend!

Esperienza fantastica, la guida Marisol è stata eccezionale: una vera professoressa per Città del Messico, in poche ore mi ha insegnato tantissimo su questa splendida città sia a livello di storia che di architettura. Grazie ai suoi concetti precisi ed efficaci posso portare con me e condividere questa esperienza. A fantastic experience, our guide, Marisol, was exceptional: a true professor of Mexico City, she taught me so much about this splendid city in just a few hours, both in terms of history and architecture. Thanks to her precise and effective concepts, I can take this experience with me and share it with others.

Marisol very knowledgeable and intelligent….enjoyed our time with her

Host was superb.

Roberto was knowledgeable and fantastic.

This walking tour exceeded our expectations thanks to Roberto. He is incredibly friendly, attentive, and an excellent storyteller. Touring our neighborhood with him on Christmas Eve felt intimate and meaningful, not touristy at all. He was very considerate of us and made sure everyone felt comfortable. One of the highlights of our trip—would absolutely recommend.

Our guide knew the hidden gems, was very knowledgeable.

Adriana gave us an outstanding tour of the most important cultural, religious and historic sites of El Centro. She is extremely well informed, speaks English fluently, and is an absolute pleasure to spend time with. 10/10.

Fantastic experience. Gave us a great feel for this amazing city. Adrianna was the best guide - of many over the years- that we have ever had the pleasure to meet. She was the best person to spend a day with.

Fantastic tour! Adriana was wonderful and wish she could be our guide wherever we go in the world. She made the experience personal and memorable. We enjoyed this tour very much!

Adriana felt like more than a tour guide, from the moment we met Adriana outside our hotel we felt like we were walking with a friend we had known for a long time.

Lando was great - we had a great historical walk around Roma and Condessa with a variety of interesting foods along the way!

We had an amazing walking tour with Lando. We loved seeing some hidden gems we would have missed otherwise. Lando made us feel like friends rather than tourists. I would highly recommend taking a tour with him!

Lando was absolutely incredible! He truly brought the history of the ancient city alive. He went above and beyond to ensure we were engaged and learning while having a great time. He volunteered to take SO many pictures and videos, which are all really special to look back on. Sometimes it’s tough to get pictures of the two of you when traveling as a couple, so it was very considerate of Lando to make sure we had all we could want. He ended up recommending a taco place that was one of our favorites of the trip, and picked us up and dropped us off exactly where needed. His knowledge is off the charts and really filled in the gaps. Teotihuacan is a place where you really need a guide to get the most value, and Lando delivered and then some. Thank you!!

Lando was amazing. He took photos along the way and was extremely knowledge about the history of the city and the culture.

The best tour we’ve ever taken — anywhere! Architecture, art, politics, food, all were highlighted and discussed. Ernesto is so wonderful- a great conversationalist and incredibly smart.

A wonderful way to start a tour and visit in Mexico City. Ernesto was very attentive to things that are especially interesting to us. I highly recommend this guide and tour.

The tour was our introduction to Mexico City historical district. We walked the area for several hours and learned so much history. Our guide Ernesto Gil spoke excellent English. He was very personable, smart and had great knowledge of the history, politics and culture. We enjoyed our time with him very much!

The experience is all about the guide. Ernesto was super. He suggested an itinerary that included the sights I wanted to see especially in the Centro Historico district. He is very knowledgeable and provided a vast amount of history. He answered all our questions and more. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Ernesto.

A must do for an overview of Mexico City. We took the tour the first day of our 7 day stay .our guide Oscar was knowledgeable and the pace perfect.

Oskar was wonderful! His knowledge and love of his city really shows. We had a great time walking around and seeing the locals side of Mexico City.

Oscar is a historian and could tell us all about the architecture and history of the region, plus the history of the war monuments.

Wonderful introduction to Mexico City. Oskar was an incredible guide - he was so knowledgeable and incorporated history and current events throughout the tour. In addition to the downtown highlights, we visited places that I would never have found on my own - hidden murals, galleries, libraries doubling as art installations, convents, shops, etc. highly recommend Oskar!

Loved our walking tour. great overview and historical context . our guide was very knowledge and accommodating. would highly recommend!

Nileth was a wonderful tour guide who catered perfectly to our family and brought an amazing blend of local history, culture, and personal insights. She also included thoughtful stops to experience authentic local cuisine, which made the day even more special. We experienced so much more than we ever could have exploring the city center on our own. Highly recommend!

From the moment I met Ninelth it has been exceptional. From the notes before we met, to the personalized tour to the understanding that is was only 1 not two but from our beginning I learned so much about Mexico City and Mexico that I found myself teaching others as I moved through the city. I consider this one of my best tours ever taken in the world.

We had a wonderful time on this custom private tour with our guide Ninelth. Her passion for history was evident from the start, and we really enjoyed exploring the sights with someone so knowledgeable. Ninelth even took photos of us along the way, which was a thoughtful touch and very helpful. One small suggestion for improvement would be to include a built-in snack or hot chocolate stop. We went to a delicious hot chocolate place on our own and enjoyed it, and it would be nice to have that included so guests do not have to worry about paying extra. I would have been happy to pay a little extra for the ticket if it includes that. Overall it was a great experience, and we highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a personal and informative look at Mexico City.

Nic was very knowledgeable and professional ! We were comfortable at all times. He made any adjustments that we wanted.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our private walking tour of Mexico City, led by Nick, who was exceptional. Nick guided us through the historic centre with incredible knowledge and enthusiasm. We visited the major churches and learned in depth about the city’s layered history, including the Aztecs (Mexica), whose ancient city lies beneath modern Mexico City. It was fascinating to learn how colonial buildings were constructed directly over the original pyramids and sacred sites, creating the extraordinary cityscape that exists today. The tour covered Mexico City’s rich cultural evolution, from its Indigenous roots through colonial times, and into the Art Deco period. Nick explained the different architectural styles beautifully and brought the history to life in a way that was both educational and engaging. You truly begin to appreciate just how old, complex, and vibrant this city is. To finish the experience, Nick took us to lunch in one of the historic buildings in the city centre, which was the perfect way to conclude the day — relaxed, authentic, and steeped in atmosphere. This tour was informative, thoughtfully paced, and genuinely exciting. If you want to understand Mexico City’s history, culture, and architecture on a deeper level, I highly recommend booking a tour with Nick

He was knowledgeable, but never overbearing. Eager to learn as much as he was to teach. Created a very positive interaction.

If you are staying in Reforma or Polanco I would highly recommend this tour to see another neighborhood in this city. Nic was a fantastic guide. He covered the culture, architecture, history, and the food scene. It was a lovely two hour walk around mostly Roma and he gave me lots of recommendations on things to try later. It was a wonderful experience and I grabbed lunch locally before I left afterwards. Thanks so much, Nic!

The Centro area of Mexico City is overwhelming and packed with history. Having Claudia walk around with us and point out significant sights was very informative and enjoyable.

We had a great time on our walking tour with Claudia. She personalized the tour of Roma and Condessa, and gave us great insights into the neighborhoods as only a “local” can do! We have followed many of her suggestions for restaurants and cafes , etc, with our remaining time in Mexico City and been very pleased!

Excellent in all regards. Very helpful pre-tour communications and logistical instructions. Very engaging tour and brought great insights. Flexible to our objectives. Made fun and pace perfect.

Our tour and experiences with Claudia were more than we expected and imagined. She is extremely knowledgeable and patiently accommodated all our needs and requests. As much as everything is right in front of you and easily accessible, it makes the biggest difference to see these attractions with a guide by your side and Viator gave us that perfect guide. We learnt so much from Claudia than we we could have picked up from a brochure or the internet. Thank YOU

This was our favorite tour in Mexico City! Isaac was an amazing tour guide who took his time with us and made the experience so special. He took us to some amazing taco spots and a dessert place. He knew the Roma Norte neighborhood well and even took us to a park and gave history lesson. Isaac started as a guide and left as a new friend.

The local tour with a guide was the highlight of my business trip! My second visit to Mexico City was for a conference and I def needed a break from the hotel. My first time hiring a private guide was definitely worth the experience! Isaac took me to some hidden gems that I would never have seen wandering on my own. He knew my interest was in architecture, history and food -- but not in that order!! Highlights were an amazing lunch in Roma North and a wander through the Condesa neighborhood! If I had a dog and could work remotely from there I would!

My wife and I had a great tour with Isaac! It was our first time in Mexico City and we wanted to learn about the local neighborhoods and also eat great tacos. I loved getting to know Mexico City from a local like Isaac, who is incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and food scene. Isaac was kind and very informative during our tour. He met us at our lodging and took us to some of the best taco spots in the area (some of which we ended up going back to even after our tour was over). It was a great experience overall and I highly recommend taking this tour, especially with Isaac as a tour guide!

Great walk around the town. Isaak offers a ton of knowledge of the subject, especially art and architecture. He is highly educated in the topic and shared with us his love of the City.

Excellent tour and set to what you want to see. Alex was an amazing tour guide that gave us history, food pointers, shopping pointers...everything we were looking for as first timers in Mexico City.

Alex is an incredibly kind and intelligent tour guide! We enjoyed our time exploring Mexico City with him and our friends. We appreciated his ability to cater the tour to our interest, and also his ability to educate us while still ensuring that a good time was had by all. If we ever decide to visit Mexico City again we will certainly reach out to Alex for another adventure. I hope this review reassure you to book a similar experience.

We did a tour with Alex (Alejandro), he was great. Curated the tour based on our preferences and our pace with a child. It was a great time, he also sent us a bunch of recommendations. He really made it a great tour.

Alex was fantastic. We got to learn a ton of local and national history and see so many different areas that it’s hard to believe we did all that in two hours. We don’t speak Spanish so his English fluency was just what we needed. And he was very flexible in accommodating a few stops along the planned route so we could buy some local snacks.

We had a large group, including two children, aged 6 and 2. Ingrid was very accommodating, providing interesting and essential information about Mexico City, while patiently allowing for delays and interruptions that were part of the family interaction. Much appreciated!

Ingrid is considerate, friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. She is quite flexible in making arrangements. I would recommend the trip.

Ingrid, our guide, was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and resourceful on our tour. We loved every second of it!

Ingrid has a wonderful demeanor and really brings a local’s knowledge of history. I enjoyed our walk a lot!

Nico spent a lot of time with us, telling us about the history of the city, making stops for tacos & drinks, and providing a great introduction to Mexico City. Good communication before the tour to find out what we were interested in.

Nico made the experience a really good one. He knows the city, the history and he is really a pleasant guide. We learned a lot about Mexico and we visited key hotspots.

What made the experience special was having such a knowledgeable guide who really knew Mexico City and Xochimilco inside and out. It made a huge difference to have someone who could easily navigate between locations, share the history and culture of both areas, and even introduce us to trusted local contacts, like our boat operator. I also appreciated learning useful local phrases so we could interact with people ourselves. The guide gave us great tips on where to get the best photos and experience the city’s nightlife. Overall, it was an amazing, well-rounded experience.

For our first visit to Mexico City, we were looking for a walking tour to give us an orientation to the city on our first day. Nico was our tour guide and he delivered! He met us near our hotel in Reforma and we explored the Centro Historica. He is super positive, friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed spending the day with him and learned so much in a short period of time. He gave us just the right amount of information about history and culture without overwhelming us as he showed us around so many key sights and took us to a few locals places to grab a snack and lunch. Highly recommend! Suggest 4-5 hours as there is a lot to cover so you can go at a relaxed pace and have time to stop for a snack and grab a bite to eat.

Alejandro was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Mexico City. We began with the history of the city, beginning at ground zero (where the historical, pre-Colombian) beginnings of the city origins. We visited an archeological museum, then Alejandro, went the extra mile to review additional archeological findings around town. Next, we walked through the colonial historical neighborhoods, and markets, all the while getting more architectual knowledge along the way. Alejandro was especially effective in connecting the historial city to its evolution into the modern city we see today, including the historical persons involved. Extremely thorough and comprehensive, I am so much smarter now, then I was this morning, before I went on the tour with Alejandro. Bring comfortable walking shoes - you'll get plenty of steps in!

Alejandro was an amazing tour guide and explained the history of Mexico and how Mexico City developed into the city that we visit today. Would 100 per cent recommend him!

It was a fantastic tour. Alejandro was a fantastic guide. I learned so much from him about the culture and history of Mexico and how much Mexico City developed and was shaped in more recent centuries. Alejandro also made some restaurant suggestions which I will try. In short, I loved it. Would definitely recommend him! Thank you so much!

Alejandro was friendly, knowledgeable and and a wonderful first exposure to Mexico City! He helped to ensure that everything we wanted to see was accommodated, even some very off the beaten path requests.

It’s a great way to get a quick overview of the history, politics, architecture, commercial and arts aspects of the city. We had Yavari, who was extremely knowledgeable and lovely.

Yaravi, was excellent. As first time visitors to Mexico City we wanted to enjoy street food. Yara took us to a local restaurant. It was great.

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.

Die Tour hat grossen Spass gemacht und war perfekt auf uns zugeschnitten. Spontane Stopps hatten auch Platz! Danke☺️ The tour was great fun and perfectly tailored to our needs. There was even room for spontaneous stops! Thank you☺️
