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.

The tour guide, Marisol, was very informative. Gave a good overview of the area. And recommended restaurants in the area. Also discussed the architectural changes that have occurred in the area. We really enjoyed this tour.

I did a 6 hour tour and we covered a lot of ground. Rafael was my guide and he was phenomenal. He knew many places to go and we had many options. He was a wealth of information about a variety of local topics and provided a great experience!

Nothing beats a one to one experience with a local guide. It’s like a day out with a friend, especially when you’re traveling solo. Ingrid was wonderful!! Walking thru all the nooks and crannies of the city that I would’ve missed on my own was great! If I wanted to stop and check out a boutique or particular museum along the way, she was all in. We stopped for a bite to eat together so I could try a local dish at a market. Totally customized day. Loved it and her.
