Mexico City
Off the Beaten track
walking Tour
Dive deep into Mexico City, venturing beyond the popular tourist bubble to discover the hidden gems of Santa Maria la Ribera and San Rafael, neighborhoods that are still not widely known but are becoming increasingly popular. Our walking tour is a safe and immersive journey into the real-life pulse of Mexico, where we embrace local experiences and use public transportation to weave through the city’s rich history.
Starting with a warm beverage and our favorite pastry, we’ll gather, chat, and become acquainted with our fellow explorers. In San Rafael, we’ll tantalize our taste buds with street food from a cherished local stand, delving into the neighborhood’s captivating history and architecture.
Moving on to Santa Maria la Ribera, we’ll admire its main monument and indulge in the most traditional dish from Oaxaca at a local restaurant. As we continue our culinary odyssey, we’ll introduce you to Pulque, an ancestral drink deeply rooted in Mexican tradition.
Fear not, our walking tour is not just about food! It’s a comprehensive experience that allows you to absorb the atmosphere, stories, and local life of these overlooked historic colonias. And yes, we’ll use public transportation, where every ride unveils intriguing tales of the city.
Before bidding farewell, join us for a refreshing michelada, an alcoholic beverage (we also have non-alcoholic options), as we share stories, exchange recommendations, and immerse ourselves in the authentic spirit of Mexico City.

Riley McMitchell2024-07-19I highly recommend this tour on your first few days in Mexico City. The food is great and you can cover a lot of ground on bikes so you get a sense of a number of neighborhoods. Simon was friendly, charming, and helped us navigate the traffic and rain safely. Honestly, the rain kind of added to the experience. I really appreciated the historical elements he added and the stories to go with the food were enchanting.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Laura Snyder2024-07-07Really enjoyed my tour with Paxi. Since no one else signed up, it ended up being a private tour. Ate great food that I otherwise would not have tried (come hungry because there is a lot of food!) and saw some places I would have never found on my own. If you are worried about what it's like to bike in the neighborhoods we toured, don't be. It was adventurous but easy and I never felt unsafe. I can definitely recommend this tour. Thank you to Paxi for a great time and to Fernando for allowing the tour to go ahead with just one person.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Darren George2024-07-05We did this trip with our two kids, 10 and 8 years old. It was great. Lots of good stops, stories, a variety of scenarios. The value is way too much for the cost! They chose really great spots and told us the real stories of Mexico. Recommend 100% and please leave a BIG tip!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Zohran Mamdani2024-07-05Paxi was a great tour guide—she was very informative and took us to places we would have never gone, but now we will never forget. We learned about the history of CDMX, visited an incredible brutalist public library, and had a lovely bike ride along the way.
