With its hidden salsa clubs, hole-in-the-wall bars and speakeasies, and atmospheric outdoor mariachi music, locals-only Mexico City nightlife is some of the most colorful on earth. With so much to see, you don’t want to get caught in a tourist trap – let us show you where locals spend their free time.

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.

Latest reviews from our guests

We had an awesome 6 hour tour with Marisol! We had a 28 hour stopover in Mexico City and wanted to see as much as we could during the day. The tour is extremely customizable and we were able to select everything we wanted to do and see based on our interests. We even needed to make a quick stop to the doctor and pharmacy and Marisol helped us with that and we greatly appreciated her kindness and patience. Marisol was very knowledgeable and her passion for her culture and hometown really shows. We ate some amazing street food and other treats and also got to see a lot of things during our one day in Mexico City. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour again and I highly recommend Marisol as a guide.

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.

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!

Lando is an absolutely amazing guide! His love of Mexico City and its people, his knowledge of its history and culture, and his true joy in sharing all of this are both amazing and so special. He is absolutely worthy of our highest recommendation. Totally worth the price, and 7 times that!
