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.

Latest reviews from our guests

This tour was great because the company customizes the tour to your needs and they even prepare a questionnaire before you go on the tour. But what made the tour great was Lando as he was not only knowledgeable but very entertaining to be with and most importantly knew where to go, what to eat, and what to experience so that I would have a good time. I highly recommend this tour anyone!

Lando was really great. He quickly realized what I was interested in and took me to places that I loved. Also you can tell he is very knowledgeable about everything but was more surprising was that he made it short, simple, but more importantly funny and unique because he understood that is what I wanted. All the food was great and would quickly go off the path if there were fun things going on like people performing. I would for sure reccomend Lando!

Our guide, Lando, was very knowledgeable about culture, religion, architecture, and, his main interest, history. We wanted a general overview of all these subjects as we had very little time in Mexico City. And he satisfied our request. He also was methodical about his planning so that we did not get stuck in tourist crowds. I.e. knowing when to start where before the crowds. Highly recommend Lando.
