Hi there! I'm Adriana, your friendly local host here in Mexico City! Exploring museums and libraries is my passion – there's nothing like delving into the depths of our culture and heritage. But it's not all about the past; I adore strolling through local markets, savoring delicious treats while chatting with vendors and soaking in the atmosphere. You can often find me biking through city parks or wandering the charming streets of neighborhoods like the historic center, Condesa, Coyoacán, and Ciudad Universitaria. I know them like the back of my hand. As a Mexico City guru, I'm always eager to share my knowledge of our museums, theaters, and libraries – the beating heart of our artistic scene, there's never a dull moment in this dynamic city. Come explore with me, and let's uncover the magic of Mexico City together!

Adriana! Thank you for a perfect evening in Mexico City. Adriana was a great guide… be sure to ask for her. Warm and friendly, great English and catered to our request to explore a small neighbourhood, and try food places we would never have done without a local. She also went above and beyond to take us to the historic centre as well, walking around at night to see the beautiful buildings all lit up and ruins. She also waited with us to be sure we got our Uber and checked to make sure we arrived back at our hotel safely. We have a new friend in Mexico City we highly recommend.

We had the absolute pleasure of taking the Mexico City Custom Private Tour with Adriana Nieves. Adriana’s communication was exceptional. She reached out well before the trip to ask about us and our interests and tailored the tour perfectly to what we wanted. She then contacted us the day before to refine and confirm the itinerary and meeting point, ultimately suggesting she meet us at our hotel, which made everything so convenient. Adriana took us to Chapultepec Park, where we explored Chapultepec Castle and the Anthropology Museum. Her knowledge of both sites was incredible—she provided so much context and insight that it brought everything we were seeing to life. Her passion for sharing the rich history of Mexico shone through. She has a wonderful way of making history engaging and accessible, and we walked away feeling both informed and enriched. What stood out most about Adriana was her warmth and kindness. She’s the kind of person you instantly feel at ease with, and it was so pleasant to spend the day with her. She strikes the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness, and it’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. If you’re looking for a tour guide who is knowledgeable, organized, personable, and passionate, Adriana is the perfect choice. We couldn’t recommend her more highly, and we hope this review helps her continue to share her love of Mexico City with even more travelers. Thank you, Adriana, for such a wonderful experience!
