Nellie was fabulous. You'll love this experience - My guide was Nellie . What a wonderful person . I absolutely loved her company . She took me all over the area , we ate we drank we ate some more , she showed me so much and even got to meet Enriqueta Romero at the santa muerte shrine.
Her knowledge of the area was brilliant. I wasn't too worried about the neighbourhood as I've been to some dodgy places. Tepito I think is very underrated. I found it charming and oozed character and I loved how real it all was . Don't be talked out of it letting people tell you it's a bad thing. If your open minded do it !! One of my highlights after seeing and doing so much in my favourite city .

Tepito is cool! - Incredible tour, my favorite part was the Maracaná court in the center of Tepito. The food is also incredible, I recommend yes or yes the migas. Our guide Elid was very cool and knew a lot of people in the neighborhood. I felt very comfortable with him as a guide. Thank you very much for the experience!

Unforgettable Journey - I highly recommend this amazing tour. My guides, Gaby & Martn, expertly led me through the maze-like streets of Tepito, where every corner revealed something new and fascinating. My guides’ passion for the neighborhood was obvious as they shared stories of Tepito's rich past and the resilient spirit of its residents. By the end of the tour, I had not only gained a deeper understanding of this vibrant neighborhood but also a newfound appreciation for the diversity and resilience of Mexico City as a whole. This walking tour was truly a highlight of my trip, and one I'll cherish for years to come.

The best experience of my trip to CDMX!! - The tour totally exceeded my expectations! It is super complete and adapted to what you want to see (food, shopping, culture, etc.). Gaby (the local guide) makes the experience even more enjoyable with her talk, and all the food and drinks are excellent. I hope to return very soon!
Thank you very much Gaby!!

A must do! Don't hesitate and get to know the real Tepito :) - Cannot thank Nellie enough - what an amazing woman, and what a superb guide with a wealth of truly genuine and interesting insights into Tepito's lore and current situation. I will never forget the 7 cabronas - and meeting the legendary Doña Queta was nothing short of incredible. Add to this amazing food and tasty drinks and you have the best hours you can spend exploring Mexico City.

Amazing Experience Exploring Tepito - First, safety is not an issue...no more or less than any other city. Gaby is a life long resident who expertly guided us to cool spots and shared her story as well as the history of Tepito. We had great food, visited tons of shops. Music was everywhere, had delicious drinks, saw art, murals, the stadium and visited some of the neighborhood housing projects. I saw nothing but hardworking and happy people. Honestly, I found the Shrine to Santa Muerte a little creepy but it's one of those things you have to experience. Highly recommended!!!

Don't miss it!! - Such an enriching experience for someone like me that has lived in CDMX for 1.5yrs. Gaby and Martin are super friendly and will walk you through the maze that is Tepito, making you feel comfortable and encouraging your curiosity through tales and personal anecdotes. Gaby is native to the area so she not only knows it like the back of her hand, but she knows a lot of the locals too. I am also vegetarian so Gaby made sure I got to sample some of the local dishes.
