THE REAL CDMX: Under the skin of the city
Overview
Over 1,500 reviews on other platforms!
New in CDMX and overwhelmed by taco overload? No clue where to start? We’ve got you.
This isn’t your average walking tour—it’s a delicious, hilarious, slightly chaotic journey through the real Mexico City, led by a charismatic local (sombrero optional, jokes guaranteed).
We kick off in non-touristy Guerrero with a classic breakfast, hit the local market, then dive into history at Monumento a la Revolución—with wild stories you won’t find in textbooks. Hop on the Metro like a true chilango, sip ancient Aztec pulque, and snack on deep-fried quesadillas.
We stroll past Palacio de Bellas Artes, wave at Torre Latino, and hear the guide’s most epic love fails. Finally, we hit Centro Histórico for the best tacos in town, and end on a hidden rooftop bar with drinks, views, and vibes.
4 dishes, 3 drinks, no tourist traps. Veg-friendly. 4+ years running.
P.S. Plenty vegetarian options too
