Hi there! I'm Mónica, your friendly local host here in Mexico City. What I adore most about Mexico City is the kaleidoscope of cultural expressions that seamlessly blend together. From morning till night, the city is full of stories waiting to be discovered, each more captivating than the last. In my free time, you'll find me exploring the city's museums, seeking out new culinary adventures, and strolling through enchanting neighborhoods like Santa María la Ribera, Coyoacán, Polanco, and the historic heart of the city. I know these areas like the back of my hand! As your Mexico City guru, I can show you to the most iconic spots and unveil the hidden gems that most tend to miss. So, if you're up for an unforgettable experience, count on me to make your visit to this magnificent city truly memorable. Let's create some fantastic memories together!

Monica was an exceptional guide showing us some beautiful buildings and sharing their history. Also took us to some unique views the general public does not see. We explored the Centro/Zocalo area and Coyoacan. Took good care of us wherever we encountered large crowds.

Monica was super nice and very knowledgeable. If you like art galleries this is the tour for you! I chose to “see everything” and Monica customized the trip to my preferences. Do beware that it is 7-hours of walking (except for lunch), which I didn’t mind. This is a great option for those who are in town for a couple days but want to see everything (tourist attractions, local culture, and off-the-beaten-path). I really liked how Monica took me to non-tourist places with great views and gave me suggestions on where to go for the remainder of my trip. She also advised when “I could get a better price elsewhere,” which was really nice as the downtown area can be a tourist trap.
