The best Mexico City night tours & experiences with locals

The Mexican capital is a bright, colorful marriage of the classic and contemporary – a patchwork quilt of Art Nouveau architecture, ancient Aztec landmarks, and astonishingly modern attractions that could keep you occupied for months. But any local will tell you: the city only really wakes up when the sun goes down. Night tours in Mexico City with City Unscripted give you a backstage pass into the world of late-night revelry in CMDX. With your local guide to reveal all the nightlife hotspots and hidden gems, the real Mexico City is yours to discover. Tell us your interests, choose your pace, and pack your stamina – this night will be unforgettable.

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.

It was all good. I loved the learning about Mexican culture and Mexico City history. Visiting the historic center was the high point of the tour.

Nicolas gave an excellent walking tour of downtown Mexico City. We had no knowledge of the city, so we just let him decide what to see. Nico arranged a walking tour from the modern business district to the ancient Zocalo. It was fascinating to see the history unfold in reverse order. Nico was very patient with a group of very tired gringos who awoke at 4 am to catch a flight from Mazatlan (eclipse viewing trip). We stopped for coffee to gain energy. The evening was capped off with a fantastic restaurant recommendation from Nicolas. We were very pleased with the trip!
