I love Mexico City. It’s dynamic, diverse, bustling, and filled with incredible museums and restaurants.
There’s so much to do here. It takes a long time to peel back the layers of this onion and get to the essence of the city. We run week long tours to the city and that only gets you a good overview of it all!
However, with so much to see and do, I always suggest that first-time visitors here take a walking tour (or three) during their trip. History, food, nightlife, markets — there are all kinds of tours that can introduce you to the city with the help of an expert local guide.
Here’s my list of the best walking tours in Mexico City:
Best Overall Tour
Devoured
Run by friend and food expert Anais Martinez (aka The Curious Mexican), Devoured tours go in-depth into the food scene of CMDX, with five different four-hour tours to choose from. On each one, you’ll meet a local “tastemaker,” an expert in their craft who shares the process behind Mexican gastronomic traditions like making mouth-watering tacos or crafting exquisite mezcal cocktails.
Best Free Tour
The Monkey Experience
The Monkey Experience, a Mexico City-owned-and-run travel company, offers free two-hour walking tours every day. You’ll set off for a tour of the historical center and get to learn about the Zócalo, the city’s main cathedral, the local food markets, the Palace of Fine Arts, and much more. Just remember to tip at the end!
While those may be the best free and paid tours in town, Mexico City has a lot more to offer, no matter your interests. Here are seven other insightful and educational tours:
1. Food Tour of Polanco
The upscale neighborhood of Polanco is a great district for eating. You can find everything from excellent street food to elevated and creative takes on Mexico City staples. This three-hour food tour is a super introduction to the neighborhood. In between munching tacos, grazing on Oaxacan specialties, and feasting on tortilla soup, you’ll learn about the history and the culture of the area from the local guide. This tour does a great job of giving you a wide range of food.
Tours start at 1,590 MXN.
2. Mexico City at Night
The Mexico City at Night tour is two hours of strolling the historical center streets and stopping to gawk at the lit-up architecture while learning about the history and culture of the area. Some of the popular sites you’ll see at night include the Zócalo,…
