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

Lou was an outstanding guide. She was knowledgeable about the history and current events of the city. She provided a terrific sample of historic buildings and the history of them. We were together for four hours. She introduced us to a great store and restaurant where we enjoyed a cold drink and rest before continuing. She introduced us to the metro and bus service saving us some steps when we were tired and at the end of our tour. In addition she shared the name of a restaurant that was excellent!

Had a 4 hr tour with Marisol Inclán. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history, cultures, and architecture of Mexico City. It was a perfect day! So also gave a fabulous recommendation for lunch after the tour. Will be back in a few months- and will defiantly ask for Marisol again.

Our time with Claudia was excellent. Even though she didn't get a chance to get our tour preferences, she managed to tailor our time well and efficiently. Claudia definitely knows Condesa/ Roma like the back of her hand. The walking pace was energetic but there was plenty of time to stop and check out different places. Amazing time! Great guide. Thank you.
