We had an amazing experience on our walking tour with Ricardo! He took us all over Condesa and Roma Norte, making frequent stops to take photos, tell us interesting pieces of history, eat tacos and drink coffee, and even shop at a few markets. He gave us tons of insider info that can only come from a México City native (chilango), including a helpful list of recommended bars, restaurants and other attractions in the area. Highly recommend!

Perfect Intro to Roma Norte
A walking tour with Ricardo was the perfect way to kick off my first time in CDMX. He’s so friendly & created a great casual environment to engage and ask questions throughout the tour, which was a perfect blend of classic spots & lesser known gems around Roma Norte. HIGHLY recommend for anyone looking to get more context from a local, who weaves both a historical and modern perspective throughout the tour.

True Gem of a tour!!
Our tour guide was funny, charismatic, and incredibly knowledgeable. He brought the neighborhoods of Roma Norte and Polanco to life with fascinating stories, history, and little details I would have never discovered on my own. His passion for Mexico’s culture was contagious and made me appreciate the beauty, traditions, and spirit of the city on a whole new level.
What started as a tour became a true cultural experience. I left feeling more connected to Mexico and with an even greater love for its people, history, and culture. Highly recommend this experience! ❤️🇲🇽

Excellent "Insiders" Experience
Excellent experience by Ricardo (Chilango Insider). Richard has a passion for CDMX and delights in showing both there well known aspects of the city, as well as the "insider" aspects. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, and be prepared for around 10,000+ steps over the period of the tour. Ricardo is always checking in to make sure you are comfortable and if any adjustments need to mer made. Highly recommend this excellent experience.

Amazing Local Guide & Great Introduction to CDMX
This was the perfect way to start my solo trip to CDMX. I ended up being the only guest, which made it feel like a private tour! My guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the city. We explored Condesa and Roma Norte while talking about the history, architecture, culture, food, and everyday life in Mexico City.
I learned so much, got amazing recommendations for the rest of my trip, and left feeling much more comfortable navigating the city on my own. The conversation felt natural and engaging the entire time. If you’re visiting CDMX for the first time, I can’t recommend this tour enough. It gave me a much better appreciation for these beautiful neighborhoods and helped me discover places I never would have found on my own.
