Explore Coyoacán, sample market food, and visit Frida Kahlo’s Blue House with an English-speaking guide on this small-group walking tour.
“An exceptionally knowledgeable and extremely personable guide made this tour and the history of Coyoacan come to life. His passion for the history of the area was only met by his deep knowledge of Frida Kahlo and her life and loves. It's a vibrant and colorful area full of rich Mexican history and political intrigue. If you're fortunate, and you book this tour, I hope that you have Diego as your guide. Truly a five star experience!!”

“We loved it 😍 it was such a complete experience! Without a doubt, what made it even better were the guide’s explanations about the taquerias 🌮 and the cantinas 🍻. Plus, we were super happy with the luchador mini mask they gave us as a souvenir 🤼♂️🎭. Totally worth doing the guided tour instead of just going on our own 🙌✨”

We did the bike tour and they gave us safety vests and helmets and provided lights and helmets for the cave tour. Our guide, Luis, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful and our driver, Giovanni, was a very safe driver.”
Review of a private Mexico City tour linking the Anthropology Museum, Chapultepec Park, and Castle with a bilingual guide.
“Hilary was incredible. An absolutely brilliant guide with an amazing knowledge of pre-Columbian history thru the Aztecs and Mayans and a vast knowledge of all things in Central American history. She was funny, witty and guided us through eons of history. Then we walked thru Chapultepec park and to the castle where she had incredible insights into the Spanish colonialism and Mexican independence. A fabulous day spent with Hilary, a must do tour!”
Explore Mexico City’s historic center on a private four-hour walk, from Templo Mayor and the Zócalo to Bellas Artes murals.
“Alicia (and Brendan) were excellent guides. We visited/experienced: Palacio de Bellas Artes, Plaza de la Constitución (Zocalo), Benito Juárez Hemicycle Monument, Piñatas during Posadas (12-24 December). Our walking tour traced Mexico’s history from the Aztec Templo Mayor via 300 years of Spanish colonialism (1521-1820) to the present. I highly recommend this informative tour. We staid in Hilton Reforma and the tour begins literally there and is an easy walk. You could certainly see the sites for yourself from the outside but you’d miss out in all the very detailed explanations provided by Alicia. Communication prior to the trip was also prompt. We ended up chatting after the tour over coffee...”
Explore Mexico City’s Centro Histórico with Ricardo, from Aztec ruins and Diego Rivera murals to rooftop views, colonial buildings, and mezcal.
