If you’re interested in discovering the artistic essence of Mexico, step with me into a guided journey where architecture, history, and social transformation intertwine. I’m Edgar, certified local guide and I invite you to explore Mexico’s own Gilded Age: the Porfiriato. Together, we’ll walk through opulent mansions, grand palaces, and emblematic landmarks that still preserve the elegance, European eclecticism, and ambition of a dictator. We’ll revisit the final years of a 19th-century regime built on progress and inequality, and trace how those tensions gave rise to a new artistic and architectural identity and helped ignite one of the most influential artistic movements of the 20th century: Mexican Muralism. This is more than a historical walk — it is a journey to understand the aesthetic transformation of Mexico in the 20th century: from dictatorship to cultural renaissance.

Devika_K, May 2026

Informative and fun

Deyner made this tour really special. He guided us through the streets of Coyoacán with a relaxed, conversational energy, sharing stories, finding us amazing food and fresh churros. He found the perfect spot to bring Frida’s world to life before dropping us at the museum. Informative and fun. Highly recommend!

Anthropology Museum, Chapultepec Castle & Cable Car Tour

Paul_B, May 2026

Best Mexico City tour.

Roberto was more than a guide. He was professional and personal at the same time. Roberto was never in a rush. He took his time with every aspect of the tour, which was a joy to experience. If you do one tour while you are in Mexico City - this is the one - and Roberto is the only one to do the tour with.

Ernesto the Encyclopedia!

We took this private tour with Ernesto and I’d strongly recommend starting early while it’s still cool and before the crowds build. We began at around 9:30am, which was perfect - by lunchtime the school groups were arriving in force! Ernesto was intelligent, thoughtful, and never rushed. He has an impressive depth of knowledge about the history and development of Mexico, Mexico City, and its wonderfully diverse population and his passion really comes through. He tailored the tour to our interests, answered all our questions, took photos for us, and guided us effortlessly through the 700 (nearly 701!) years since the founding of Mexico City (see… I was paying attention! 🤣). Wherever we travel, we try to use a local guide for key sites, and Ernesto is exactly why. We got far more from our (slightly over!) two hours with him than we ever would have wandering around alone or relying on an audio guide. If you’re unsure whether to book, do it. You won’t regret it. Thanks, Ernesto!

EXCLUSIVE TOUR Luis Barragán Casa Pedregal - small groups

Our guide Issac was so...

Our guide Issac was so knowledgable and passionate about sharing the history, Barragan's life and works as reflected in the house. He incorporated our own experiences with Barragan's work and tailored the tour to our needs. We brought our one-year-old and Issac was very patient and accommodating while we took photos, revisited certain areas, and asked about different aspects of the property. Such a beautiful experience thank you so much!

Coyoacán Walking Tour: Access to Frida Kahlo Museum & Tacos

Magical Coayacan

This is a great experience for those that want to have a little taste of traditional mexican environment with the guidance of Hector. It is a walking tour, the time allows for it to go at your own pace, there is food along the way that is a great break. We loved the traditional taco stand inside a market, we eanted that experience but were a little scared of picking the wrong stand. The attention of Hector was the best and always ready to answer all questions.

EXCLUSIVE TOUR Luis Barragán Casa Ortega - small groups

Michelle_F, Apr 2026

The Guide Makes the Difference

If you visit the Luis Barragán House, do yourself a favor and book this tour. Our guide was wonderful, thorough, passionate, and consistently checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. His deep knowledge of the architecture and the story behind how this iconic home came to be at its location made our visit much more meaningful. We would never have appreciated the significance of the design details, especially Barragán's extraordinary use of color, without someone who understood them so well. Truly one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico City.

Guided Tour: Early Access to the Museum of Anthropology

Nancy_U, Mar 2026

The museum is more than worth the price of admission!

Very detailed. Oscar was exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about the prehistory of Mexico and the how the pieces of each hall merged together. Th only issue we had was not his fault but was from the office which delayed the digital tickets for admission. One family was particularly bent out of shape and very rude towards him when it was not his fault. Fortunately, they left the group. They were not pleasant and might complain about him, but it was the circumstances that were out if his hands.

Fun and good tour for seeing multiple sites

We loved this tour and found it to be a great way to visit multiple sites in one day. Our tour guide, Alan, took great care of us and was very knowledgeable on Mexican history. He did a great job leading us through a long tour. We definitely appreciated the pick up/drop off service as well. Overall this was a fun and informative day!

Teotihuacan & Guadalupe Shrine + Xochimilco, Coyoacán & Frida Kahlo Combo Tour

Ruby_H, Aug 2025

Hey, book it!

Traveled with my elderly parents and it was a nice walking pace. My dad enjoyed the history explanation. As Mexicans, we thought the restaurant food lacked a bit of authentic flavor. But we get it. They're catering to non-mexican tourist. We appreciated the service. The tour guides were excellent, bilingual (English/Spanish), approachable and knowledgeable. Main reason I booked this trip was because the Frida Kahlo tickets were sold out on the museum's website and this 2- day package included tickets to Frida. Again, the overall experience was a great!
