It is a walking tour, so expect to walk. The scenery is beautiful, and you will learn so much about the city. Ricardo knows so much about the area. We even got to go to 2 local pop up markets that had all sorts of things to buy. Would recommend!
One of the best guides we have ever had .He touched on ,history,architecture,art as we explored these 2 areas.Both the stops were excellent choices as well .We felt very privileged to have had a brilliant guide .
Ricardo is very informative! He is friendly and knows all about his home town! He was great! There is alot to learn and he did fabulous!
Richardo was amazing! Though knowledge of the area during our walking tour. He allowed us to set our pace (whether to stay at one spot a bit longer, or quickly move on to the next landmark). Very professional and personal. Lots of hidden gems and many tips on other excursion/places to eat...Glad we did it!
I would have only taken in the sights at a surface level and cut my exploration short had I walked around the city on my own. Ricardo took the time to explain history, art, architecture, a smaller market, and shared some of his favorite spots in the city that was very enriching. I thought there was no way I would spend 5 hours roaming the beauty of Roma and Condesa -- and while I was very sore, it was time well spent. Ricardo kept us on a well thought out path and schedule - be sure to wear very good walking shoes! Ricardo was an excellent host and I would highly recommend catching the city from a perspective you are not going to get on a bus. The weather was also amazing - best time of the year; he explained the jacaranda trees would be in full bloom in April - also a great time of year to go! I miss CDMX already.
We had an amazing experience on our walking tour with Ricardo! He took us all over Condesa and Roma Norte, making frequent stops to take photos, tell us interesting pieces of history, eat tacos and drink coffee, and even shop at a few markets. He gave us tons of insider info that can only come from a México City native (chilango), including a helpful list of recommended bars, restaurants and other attractions in the area. Highly recommend!
Super friendly and interesting tour guide. Lots of cool things to see and good pace throughout the tour.
Excellent experience by Ricardo (Chilango Insider). Richard has a passion for CDMX and delights in showing both there well known aspects of the city, as well as the "insider" aspects. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, and be prepared for around 10,000+ steps over the period of the tour. Ricardo is always checking in to make sure you are comfortable and if any adjustments need to mer made. Highly recommend this excellent experience.
Ricardo is a wonderful guide! We really enjoyed the tour. It’s awesome to hear about the history and context, we really got to know the neighbourhood through a carefully curated path. Would recommend!
Ricardo is an excellent and very knowledgeable tour guide! He provided several historical facts along the tour and you can definitely tell he is passionate about the city of Mexico (:
I recommend this tour if you’re interested in seeing the popular spots for locals, hidden gems, history, and architecture.
Bring comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk! Bring an umbrella in case of rain.
Not only did we see historical places, Ricardo also showed us the hidden gems of Roma Norte and Condesa. Ricardo is very knowledgeable of the areas and thorough too!
Look no further and book this, you won’t regret it!
Ricardo was super sweet, I ended up being the only person on the tour so he made it as personalized as he could for me. He gave me so many recommendations and taught me about the history of each area. I had a great time.
Fun walking tour with lots to see and learn about the neighborhoods and the city. Ricardo is a great guide
Truly an epic tour with Ricardo! Great day with great insight with stops along the way to appreciate the history and culture of the area with some “hidden gems” that were terrific. Wonderful tour that is a must with Ricardo.
Ricardo is a lovely guy and a fantastic guide. His knowledge of art, history and architecture is both impressive and accessible. I was lucky to have a solo tour with him, but no matter what he is the person to take you around these beautiful neighborhoods.
Highly recommended! Anyone who loves to walk (wear comfy shoes) and explore gorgeous neighbourhoods this is the tour for you. Great guide who knows and loves his town. Condesa and Roma are filled with stories, scenery, parks and art and Ricardo does an amazing job bringing them to life over five fabulous hours!
I booked this tour on our first full day in CDMX. Our hotel was in Roma Norte, and I thought an informed stroll would help to familiarize ourselves with the neighborhood. Our tour guide, Ricardo, did not disappoint. His love for his city is so evident in his carefully planned and extensive tour. On our walk, Ricardo spoke about architecture, history, economy, social trends and art while also shuffling us into a beautifully curated mansion, down cobblestoned alleys, up to rooftop lounges, inside lush green courtyards, through an art exhibit in a hidden modern stairwell. All the time, checking in with us to see how we were feeling. We had two short "breaks", one in a lovely hotel coffee shop and then in an amazing pastry cafe. Even if you are not staying in this charming, tree-lined, historic area, I would highly recommend booking this tour with Ricardo.
Ricardo was the perfect guide to guide us in these two communities. We appreciated getting outside of the historic district to learn more about these two vibrant areas. We had several breaks along the way for coffee or something cold. He also took us to the best pastry shop around! We loved the parks, at galleries and shops. Wear comfortable shoes!
Key tour highlights were visits to ‘local’ gems that I would’ve missed as a first time visitor. I had a great overall experience. Ricardo communicated early, arrived on time and highly recommended.
We had a great time exploring the amazing neighborhoods of Roma Norte and Condesa with Ricardo, our tour guide. He has so much knowledge of the neighborhoods as he is a self identified Chilango. We saw some of the most beautiful architecture, specifically how different it was depending on the neighborhood and when it was established. We visited some amazing art galleries and had some coffee and snack breaks and some really amazing spots...including what's probably the best bakery I have ever been too. I would definitely recommend this tour with Ricardo. Just make sure you have some comfortable shoes on since you'll get nearly 12,000 steps in!!!!
Truly excellent guide with a comprehensive knowledge of the history of Mexico City and particularly these two neighborhoods. Very accommodating to the pace and interest of the guests. We saw many areas we had not seen when we were in these neighborhoods before.
Ricardo is a delight to spend time with. His insight into the history and culture in these areas was appreciated. He was also attentive to our needs and customized the tour for us. He was also easy to communicate with before, during and after the walking tour.
Ricardo is a gem. He is knowledgable, interesting, friendly, and takes you to all of the places you want to see--from the major highlights to the more unknown spots that only a local would know about. We covered a ton of ground on our tour and by the end of the afternoon felt we had a really good sense of both neighborhoods. Ricardo also made himself available by text after for any questions we had about places to go, food, etc. during the rest of the trip. Highly recommend!
Ricardo talked about the very interesting character and history of the two neighborhoods. We felt well informed by his tour. He was friendly and concerned about our wellbeing on the walk.
This walking tour was fun, informative and covered a lot of ground! Ricardo has extensive knowledge about the areas and will show you interesting and fun facts!
Great walking tour, knowledgeable about the area. Explained the history of the area and showed us many significant buildings.
Fantastic afternoon, walking through beautiful neighborhoods, learning about the history of Condesa and Roma Norte and their architectural styles. And a “not to miss” bakery you will re-visit again! Highly recommend this walking tour to anyone who wants to learn about Mexico City. These are the neighborhoods I will stay in the next time I visit. The parks are simply beautiful.
This is one of my favorite places in the world and Ricardo was an amazing guide! It was just the two of us that day and it felt like exploring the city with your very knowledgeable friend. This tour takes up most of the day and covers a lot of ground but it was really incredible.
Ricardo was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the Condesa and Roma Norte neighborhoods. He also shared personal experiences that made old and recent events come to life. Note that this tour includes a few breaks but is very long (5+ hours). I recommend it to people in decent physical shape who are really into architecture and local history.
Enjoyed the experience.
Loved the architecture. Beautiful area.. very pleasant day.
Interesting part of the city.
