Additional Information

⚠︎We’re the fresh faces in the locality, come explore our incredible rates⚠︎

Let’s delve into the city’s 4 distinctive aspects - walking, savoring food and sipping beverages beyond limit!

Our journey commences at Guerrero Neighborhood, an unexplored area for tourists. Nevertheless, it’s an authentic borough, exemplary to demonstrate the real city that majority of the visitors tend to miss. Post a customary breakfast, we’ll tour the largest local market, where my mother shops for the ingredients of my enchiladas.

Next, we travel on a metro (it’s absolutely safe!) to witness the Revolution Monument and discuss the goriest Mexican civil war. We then stroll around undiscovered treasures (a graveyard and mental asylum), followed by a pause to sip pulque (ancient Aztec drink).

Our third segment involves a walk around Central Alameda + Fine Arts Palace and the renowned Latino Tower, as we discourse on art, history and tales of heartbreak.

Our final pitstop: Downtown Highlights. Prominent structures + tacos + beer at an undisclosed bar.

Can any other tour outmatch our proposal? It’s highly unlikely in this lifetime.

Great must do tour while in the city - Olin was an amazing, patient, accommodating, flexible, friendly and knowledgeable guide. All you can ask for a tour guide! The history provided in the tour is not over the top so he keeps you engaged . He will take you through spots that you would otherwise never see even as a Mexican. I lived in Mexico a long time and I still experienced new things and learned new things and that was amazing! My husband and I were traveling with our 13 year old son and my 70+ parents in law and we all really enjoyed our day with Olin as well as the amazing food throughout the day. Definetly a must do tour if you are in Mexico and even better if you do this a day before you want to go and explore downtown on your own since you will have a better idea where you want to go spend your time at your own pace while in the city. If you are a very picky eater as my mother in law be prepared and take a sandwich or some snacks with you so you don't miss out on this tour.

It is a history and local food tour - The tour started in front of a very local hole in a wall type family own eatery in a working class neighborhood. Guess what? This place has the best tamale I have ever had in my life. This is tour of Mexican history and culture with sampling some local foods along the way. The other good eat we had was a blue corn taco. Our tour guide Oliverdo really took his time with us. He explained everything in details. The tour lasted more than 5 hrs.

Best City Tour I’ve Ever Taken - This tour was the highlight of our trip to CDMX. We learned so much and saw places/ate food we never would have known how to access otherwise. Olin is an incredible guide. I can’t wait to take his other tours! If you’re up for walking and have a sense of adventure, do not hesitate to book this awesome tour!

Great guide Great Experience - Great experience with a great guide. Olin was absolutely amazing, informative yet engaging. Learned some much of the history and didn’t get bored. The IPad was the perfect touch. The food choices during the tour were perfect and his recommendations were exactly what we were looking for. We even exchanged What’s App info. Will definitely be contacting Olin again when we come back! Definitely book his tour. Even my kids (12years old and 18years old) loved it!

The best tour ever - I have had the pleasure to take this tour twice: once with my best friend and most recently, with my teenaged niece. Both times, the tour was fantastic. The tour guide, Olin, does a great job intermingling history, food, art and current local culture without it being overwhelming. The food that one eats is so good and definitely food I wouldn't have know about on my own. Olin is friendly, fun and humorous and makes everyone on the tour feel welcome. Whether it be the first time or many times for you in Mexico City, this is a great tour given by a local that everyone should do!

Great tour - This is a great tour. You start off in a not very touristy area before heading into the historical centre. There is a lot of a history and a lot of food. All of the food was delicious and the pulque tasting was fun. Make sure you have comfortable shoes and don’t have breakfast before you go.

If you do one tour in Mexico City, this should be it. - Food, history, and a great overview of the city. Fabulous tour guide who showed us the “real” Mexico City. Different foods to taste, explanations of the different foods and drinks. Metro ride - a great day.

Enjoyed myself and learned a lot - I very much enjoyed the tour with Olin: the stops in small but excellent restaurants; the visit to the market with explanations of different kinds of peppers, and the tales of Mexico's history, told in historic locations
