Alex was the perfect toy guide for our Mexico City adventure! His deep knowledge, warm personality, and hilarious sense of humor made the tour unforgettable. All six of us had an absolute blast—he kept us laughing, learning, and fully engaged from start to finish. Whether he was sharing quirky toy trivia or cracking jokes, Alex made the experience feel personal and fun. Highly recommending Alex to anyone visiting Mexico City and looking for a guide who’s smart, friendly, and genuinely entertaining!

Roberto is an awesome guide filled with great history and insights. We really enjoyed our tour and felt like we got a glimpse into Mexico City. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting. We booked a four hour tour to be sure we had time to see the highlights and I still feel like we only scratched the surface of everything there is to see and do.

Your questions, answered
Is this a traditional tour or something different?
This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.
How does personalization work?
After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary..
Can I mix different themes in one experience?
Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.
Will I know my itinerary in advance?
Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!
Can I adjust the plan on the day?
Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.
What should I bring or wear?
Comfortable shoes are best, as you’ll be walking between food stops. Dress for the weather and bring a bit of cash if you'd like to try anything extra beyond the included tastings.
Is this experience suitable for families, solo travelers, seniors, or groups?
Yes! This experience is designed to be flexible and can be tailored to suit families with kids, solo travelers, seniors, or small groups.
Can I change the meeting place?
Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.
Can my host meet me at my accommodation?
Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
How much walking is involved?
This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.
