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.

Meet some of our local hosts in Mexico City

Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.

We’ve handpicked them and we’ll match you to your perfect one!

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

Alejandro loves his city and you will not find a better guide to show you Mexico City. He's professional and super knowledgeable. He was always patient with my questions (I had many!). Walk the city with him. Listen to him. You will be so grateful you have met him. The best

We were given a wonderful introduction to Mexico City by the most helpful and friendly guide you could imagine. Nothing was too much trouble for Lando including an impromptu stop we requested for refreshments. He was extremely knowledgeable and very proud of his city and he made the tour a fantastic experience for my wife and I. I would have no hesitation in recommending this tour.

Lando contacted me to suggest and create an itinerary for our walk during the time we had scheduled. We started from the lobby of our hotel in Polanco, visited Chapultepec park and Castle; it was the highlight of our day. We continued through Reforma viewing all the relevant sites. We also had the experience of riding on the double-decker bus. We finished our tour at the Centro Histórico and Zocalo. All through the walk, Lando was giving us important information regarding the sites and Mexico's History. I highly recommend the Tour and Lando as your guide. There are several options for the length of your tour, just remember that it's a walking tour and to bring your hat, sunscreen and keep well hydrated. We selected the 4-Hour option.

Alejandro is a phenomenal guide. A pleasure to be around. So knowledgeable. Kind, patient, and thorough. Perhaps more importantly he loves his city and want to share that love with you. He's the best tour guide I've ever had.
