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.

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.

Spent a beautiful morning exploring Roma and Condesa with Claudia - it felt like I was with a friend! She knew the area well and took me to see a couple of hidden gems I’d have otherwise missed. I’d definitely recommend booking her tour!

Rafael was phenomenal! He paid great attention to your needs and interests, and fully embraced the very spirit of CityUnscripted, in terms of tailoring your curiosity around Condesa and Roma areas. He was super approachable, yet opened my eyes to many Mexican cultures that I would have not been able to find out myself. He brought me to a few places for taco and vinyl record hunts (yes, odd combo yet very customized) that I was able to trace back myself in the remaining of my trip on my own. I just love the very spirit of CityUnscript to choose our own adventure with well guided staffs.

This was a fantastic personalized tour. We booked this because he wanted a private tour of the central historic district. Roberto was a fantastic Tour Guide and gave us a fun experience! He is also an archaeologist which brought an extra level of insight to our entire tour. This is highly recommended if you want a private tour experience. Thank you Roberto!!
