How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

You’ll join one of our local Mexico City hosts, and promptly head straight to the arty enclave of Roma; an area with a hipster edge, where you’ll no doubt fall in love with the perfect combination of colorful colonial buildings, Art Nouveau architecture, quirky bookshops, and veggie food spots.

Maybe you’ll eat and drink your way through the district, cafe hopping your way through quirky coffee shops, sip on a beer, or taste your way through the diverse food scene. Perhaps you’ll stop by Mercado Roma; a covered market where you can fill your tummy at some of Mexico City’s most popular eateries.

Try a tamal de queso con rajas, tacos del restaurante from Azul Histórico, or delicious churros from El Moro. But time waits for no one, so it’s on to Condesa! For creatives and art lovers, this neighborhood is a great place to explore.

Perhaps you’ll check out the leafy green Parque Mexico for an afternoon in the sunshine, grab a snack from an all-day street vendor; like fresh coconut juice, juicy pineapples, or sticky sweet potatoes covered in cream.

Relish in the local vibe and enjoy a full sensory experience with your host, exploring restaurants, cafes, street art, quirky shops, bars, and a diverse nocturnal neighborhood.

What travelers think of this experience

Cheryl Apr 2025

Tour was excellent and Marisol was willing to accommodate our desires. Found areas of Mexico City we would not have found on our own. Highly recommend.

Cheryl Apr 2025

Very nice tour with knowledgeable guide. The area is beautiful with interesting history and a couple of street food experiences thrown in. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Paige Apr 2025

We had a wonderful time with Marisol and she was a wealth of knowledge. She also was very accommodating of our 9 month old and adjusted schedule.

Simon Mar 2025

Nicolas is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. I took a two-hour tour and, although I'm not a fan of architectural styles, I enjoyed connecting the historical dots. He provided insights not only about the two neighborhoods but also about the Mexica and Spanish conquests.

Marc Mar 2025

Highly recommend!

Karin Mar 2025

We felt very comfortable once we made the reservation that City Unscripted was the right choice. Their customer service was incredibly responsive and caring. They give the impression that they love helping tourists explore a city on their terms. We will definitely check if City Unscripted offers tours whenever we travel.
