Nightlife to suit your style

Everyone’s idea of the perfect night out is different, so we’ll pick out a neighborhood that suits your style. If you’re up for tequila and dancing at a gritty cantina, Mexico City night tours in Centro will be bound to pique your interest, but for a night filled with glitz and glam, Polanco or Santa Fe reign supreme. If you consider yourself a bit of a cool kid, Mexico City night tours in hipster San Angel or Metro Copilco are your best bet, while artsy Roma and Condesa – the city’s trendiest neighborhoods – are the places to be for some of the best bars and clubs in all of CMDX.

Dining out after dark

One of the city’s biggest attractions is its world-famous food scene, and night tours in Mexico City are the perfect time to experience it for yourself. Mexican cuisine is mind-blowingly delicious even at the city’s humblest street food stalls, carts, taco trucks, and makeshift windows – what better places to grab a quick bite before a night of festivities? But if a sit-down dinner at a swanky restaurant is your idea of the perfect late-night bite, night tours in Mexico City could easily lead you to gourmet food halls and upmarket eateries that have elevated the city’s favorites.

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!

Ninelth gave us a wonderful tour of Diego’s and Frida’s house /studio, The historical spate of Mexico City and also we had a chance to visit the San Angel neighborhood where we got to buy beautiful drawing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful and informative historical background of the places we visited. We highly recommend this tour!
