The best Mexico City private tours & experiences with locals

A colorful hub of cool kids and creatives, Mexico City has become one of the most vibrant destinations in the world. Our private Mexico City tours with locals let you experience this exciting city beyond its stunning architecture and ancient Aztec landmarks (although you’ll definitely squeeze some of those in too!). With a like-minded local guide leading the way, you’ll get to see the sides of the city that only reveal themselves to the people who call Mexico City home. Discover the true spirit of CDMX at its old-school cantinas, taco carts, and trendy, tree-lined neighborhoods far away from the bustling city center on our Mexico City tours.

More than Mexico City’s must-sees

From the iconic Metropolitan Cathedral to the ancient Teotihuacan pyramids just outside the city, the Mexican capital is brimming with attractions that regularly make it to the top of travel lists. But some of the city’s most incredible experiences are the ones that you couldn’t even find in your guidebook. On our Mexico City tours with locals, our insiders give you an authentic snapshot of the local lifestyle that can’t be found at its tourist traps – instead, they’re at the unassuming street food carts, cool boutiques, and hidden drinking holes where locals gather to share a beer.

    Our guide, Ernesto, was superb, covering all the important sites in the Historical District and putting each into perspective as to its position in Mexican history. He was a wealth of information and a delight to meet and spend time with. Highly recommend!

    It was a great tour. Our guide Roberto was very knowledgeable about the area,the history. He was passionate about the culture. He stayed in contact with us before the tour & was offering suggestions about places to eat etc. in the city. We will ask for him again in our next trip.

    Adriana took us on a wonderful tour across Downtown Mexico City, showed us the hot spots but also gave us the chance to arrive after our long flight. She took care for our wishes with regards to the points of intersts, Dios de la muerte and the life in the city. One highlight was the delicious lunch. Adriana is a wonderful person with lots of knowledge about the city and the people, a great sense of humour and a big heart!
