With its hidden salsa clubs, hole-in-the-wall bars and speakeasies, and atmospheric outdoor mariachi music, locals-only Mexico City nightlife is some of the most colorful on earth. With so much to see, you don’t want to get caught in a tourist trap – let us show you where locals spend their free time.

Nightlife to suit your style

Everyone’s idea of the perfect night out is different, so we’ll pick out a neighborhood that suits your style. If you’re up for tequila and dancing at a gritty cantina, Mexico City night tours in Centro will be bound to pique your interest, but for a night filled with glitz and glam, Polanco or Santa Fe reign supreme. If you consider yourself a bit of a cool kid, Mexico City night tours in hipster San Angel or Metro Copilco are your best bet, while artsy Roma and Condesa – the city’s trendiest neighborhoods – are the places to be for some of the best bars and clubs in all of CMDX.

Dining out after dark

One of the city’s biggest attractions is its world-famous food scene, and night tours in Mexico City are the perfect time to experience it for yourself. Mexican cuisine is mind-blowingly delicious even at the city’s humblest street food stalls, carts, taco trucks, and makeshift windows – what better places to grab a quick bite before a night of festivities? But if a sit-down dinner at a swanky restaurant is your idea of the perfect late-night bite, night tours in Mexico City could easily lead you to gourmet food halls and upmarket eateries that have elevated the city’s favorites.

Latest reviews from our guests

Nic showed us everything we asked for and then some. Our expectations have been exceeded. We are spending relatively short amount of time in Mexico City and he showed us some sights of the beaten path in addition to several major attractions. Both my wife and I really enjoyed the experience.

The pre-tour experience of planning what we wanted to do was efficiently and smoothly done, and gave us great confidence that the trip would be very enjoyable - we weren’t disappointed. Once booked and Adriana was allocated to us as our guide, she emailed us to enquire as to the sorts of things we wanted to do, our interests etc. She then compiled a draft itinerary which she sent to us in advance which looked great, and she’d clearly paid attention to what we’d asked to do, and put in the time planning our day. Having swapped mobile numbers we also had a few other WhatsApp messages from her ahead of our tour reconfirming meeting times etc. On the day Adriana was prompt, polite and really informative as she took us around areas of Mexico City which we’d never have discovered on our own (our high level brief was that whilst we would like to see some of the main sights, we wanted to get a feel for the “real” Mexico City its people, history, culture and food). We always felt safe, and learnt so much from her during our tour. We packed loads in, but it never felt rushed or too much. SHe’d incorporated options to eat / drink on the way, as well as toilet stops, and nothing felt like too much trouble for her. This was a perfect way for us to spend our first day in Mexico City, and gave us a brilliant introduction to this vibrant city.

Absolutely phenomenal day with Marisol… I cannot emphasize how personalized the tour became. Marisol was incredibly flexible and - even though she had put a lot of thought into an itinerary - she had no problem shifting things around to accommodate our interests. Overall, it was a fascinating introduction to Mexico City’s history and she is clear an expert in how to develop a deep appreciation for the history and culture.
