Description

More than 1,500 reviews in other platforms! New to Mexico City and not sure where to start? Overwhelmed by too many taco stands and not enough Google Maps skills? Don't worry—we’ve got you covered. This isn’t your average walking tour. It’s a delicious, chaotic, hilarious, and unforgettable adventure through the real CDMX, guided by a local with serious charisma (and possibly a sombrero, depending on the mood). We start off in Guerrero, a traditional, non-touristy neighborhood most travelers never step foot in—but should. After fueling up with a classic local breakfast, we’ll visit the local market, to talk about Mexican cuisine. Next up: hop on the Mexico City Metro, because nothing says “I’m not a tourist” like riding the busiest subway in Latin America. We’ll head to the Monumento a la Revolución, where you'll hear about Mexico’s bloodiest war—told with spicy humor and wild true stories that you won’t find in any textbook. After that, it’s time for a snack break: think crispy, deep-fried quesadillas and a round of pulque (the ancient Aztec drink that might make you fluent in Spanish... or at least think you are). Then we stroll through the beautiful Alameda Central, admire the stunning Palacio de Bellas Artes, wave at the Torre Latinoamericana, and take in Mexico City's best art, architecture, and stories—including your guide’s most epic love fails. To top it all off, we head to the Centro Histórico—home to Mexico City’s most iconic buildings, buzzing streets, and mind-blowing street food. You’ll try what we firmly believe are the best tacos in the city (fight us), and finish the day on a hidden rooftop bar overlooking ancient Aztec ruins. Drinks, views, and vibes included. P.S. Plenty of vegetarian options too P.S2 4 years old tour :)
