Meeting point
Doctores Neighborhood (Colonia Doctores) in Mexico City is a vibrant area with a mix of old and new influences. While historically known for being working-class and a bit rough around the edges, it's become a hub for street art, especially graffiti. The walls of Doctores are adorned with murals and graffiti that range from politically charged pieces to more abstract or personal works. You'll find a raw, urban energy here, with artists using bright colors, intricate designs, and bold statements. The neighborhood’s gritty aesthetic has made it appealing for creatives, and it offers an authentic, underground vibe, contrasting with the more touristy parts of Mexico City. Museo del Juguete Antiguo México (The Antique Toy Museum of Mexico, entrance not included) is located within the Doctores neighborhood and is a hidden gem for lovers of both nostalgia and street art. The museum’s exterior is a canvas for some of the city’s best graffiti artists.
Condesa Neighborhood is one of Mexico City's trendiest areas, known for its leafy streets, art deco architecture, and vibrant urban art scene. Graffiti and murals can be found throughout, particularly around Avenida Ámsterdam and Parque México, often blending contemporary styles with Mexican cultural themes. The neighborhood has a hip, bohemian vibe, making it a hotspot for creatives and art lovers alike. Stop to eat the most famous taco stand for its variety of guisados (stewed fillings) served in freshly made tortillas. Located in the vibrant Condesa neighborhood, this spot offers an authentic, no-frills taco experience. From savory tinga, chile relleno, to hearty picadillo, each taco is a flavorful glimpse into traditional Mexican home cooking. Popular with locals and visitors alike, it’s a must-stop for anyone looking to enjoy the comforting flavors of Mexico.

We had Andres and he was wonderful— very kind, extremely knowledgeable, patient and careful with my daughter and me. We learned so much and got a great overview of the city. We felt very comfortable with him because he was aware of potholes/traffic issues. Highly recommend him.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re so happy to hear that Andrés made the tour such a special one for you both. He truly loves sharing the city’s history and daily life, and we’re glad you felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the ride. We know how important it is to feel safe while biking through the city, especially with family, so it means a lot to hear that Andrés was attentive to traffic and road conditions along the way. We hope to welcome you again for another adventure and to discover even more corners of the city together!
Such a great experience to ride around to neighborhoods to see spectacular murals and parts of the city you might not otherwise see. We were very lucky to have a private tour and one of us wasn't feeling 100% so our guide, Angel, was so accommodating and adapted the speed and route. He was excellent with ride directions and had fascinating information about the murals and other sites. 100% recommend for a unique view of the city!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring the murals and neighborhoods from a different perspective. Angel will be thrilled to know that his flexibility and care helped make the experience comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. We always try to adapt each tour to the group’s needs and create a personalized experience, especially when someone may need a different pace. Thank you as well for the recommendation. we’d love to ride with you again on another urban adventure soon!
We took this tour in 2023 and decided to do it again this year when we brought my mother to visit. She was excited about the prospect but when we got there she was a bit freaked out about riding through the streets. She was about to pass on joining the tour. Our guide, Diego, persuaded her to stay and he modified the tour so we would do almost all of the ride in nearby Chapultepec Park. This tour that he came up with on the fly was amazing. We saw parts of the park that I had not previously visited like the Don Quijote and poets areas, and we had a beautiful ride on a beautiful day. Everyone left very happy with the tour. Diego’s flexibility really saved the day.
Angel was such an amazing guide. My friend and I had a great 4 hours wandering the city and learning about street art. It was the perfect experience and Angel was an excellent guide!
I love a bike tour AND graffiti, so this was perfect for me. Angel was our fearless and knowledgable guide. He showed us so many cool murals, stickers, tags, and mabe even a Banksy. Big fun! Thanks, Angel.
We saw a lot of the city in our bike tour, not just street art. The bikes were comfortable and we felt safe even on busy streets.
What a fabulous way to see the true Mexico City. We loved pedaling through the city, seeing the art and viewing the different neighborhoods. Don't miss this!
This tour was the best way to see some of the amazing street art found around CDMX. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on urban art culture and knew all the best spots in the neighbourhoods we rode through. We felt very safe riding around the city on bicycles and it was the perfect afternoon. Before the tour ended, we stopped at Museo del Juguete Antiguo México which honestly felt like we were transported to another planet. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in street art and visiting this museum.
Just got back from our Graffiti & Urban Art Bike Tour and had to write a review! Our guide, Mayek, was amazing! She was so kind, super knowledgable, and made us feel so connected to every site we visited. We rode through the Roma, Condesa, and Doctores neighborhoods, many about a dozen stops at incredible graffiti along the way, and we went to the Toy Museum toward the end of the tour to see an insane collection of classic toys (and where there is also some amazing graffiti art throughout the museum AND on the rooftop). Mayek also showed us some "extras", places not included in this tour. She took us through a section of Chapultepec Park, including one of the audioramas (the tucked away little nooks that play relaxing music with the trees creating a shaded canopy!). She also took us to see a bus (which also has graffiti art covering it) that also serves as a bookshop of sorts. We went in and were able to pick out a book for ourselves to keep! The tour was very flat and easy, with lots of bike lanes. So if you are a moderate-to-beginner in terms of your cycling skills, this tour should be fine for you! Having spent most of our time in CDMX in the Centro Historico, this was a wonderful way to see multiple neighborhoods, with the added bonus of enjoying the amazing street art these places have to offer!
My daughter and I enjoyed the bike riding tour very much!! We saw different graffiti and street arts in different area of town. The guides were very attentive and informative. We felt so safe and relaxed with them. My 16 year old daughter who loves art loved this tour. The bike riding was great way to go around and enjoy the city. I really recommend this tour. Thank you.
