Q: What is the best time of year to visit Mexico City?

Because of the moderate weather and exciting festivals, December to May is considered the best time to visit the city, but it's also the busiest, with larger crowds and booked venues. Depending on what you're looking for, these seasons could be your ideal travel time; May to June & September to November - Erratic weather, especially in September, means this is a low season for Mexico City. On the flip side, smaller crowds mean more intimate tour experiences at venues. July to August - Not too hot, not too cold, and not too crowded, July to August works for those with a traditional summer break schedule. Although rains are random, it's great for laid-back touring with minimal festivals and events.

Q: What is the nicest part of Mexico City?

That's a tough one! Mexico City has so many fantastic neighborhoods. Some consider Polanco to be the “nicest” because of its modern amenities and international shopping, while those who are looking for a blend of local culture head to Juarez and Barrio Alameda.

Q: What should you wear in Mexico City?

Mexico City is pretty laid back fashion-wise, so pack with the weather in mind. Wear comfortable shoes and breathable garments because there's a whole lot of walking to do. Carry sunglasses, a sun hat or cap, and plenty of sunscreen. Keep a sweater or light jacket handy for evening outings. Travel tip: When visiting religious monuments, keep your dressing conservative, covering your knees, chest, and shoulders.

Q: What should I be careful of in Mexico City?

The Water - Don't drink tap water in Mexico City. The Altitude - Mexico City's elevation sits at 2,240 meters (7,350 feet) so look out for symptoms of altitude sickness and take the necessary actions. The Weather - Don't get caught off guard by the wind and moderate heat and forget to hydrate. Dehydration can sneak up on you when you're walking from site to site. These neighborhoods - Iztapalapa, Tepito, Ciudad Neza, and Doctores.

Q: What tours in Mexico City are good for avoiding crowds?

These hidden gems are a rare sight, especially if you travel during the off-season. Diego Rivera's Fountain of Tlaloc El Carmen Museum Mundo Chocolate Museum The Pantheon of San Fernando Full Article: 5 Hidden Gems To Visit In Mexico City

Q: Which places provide the best tours in Mexico City for couples?

The Xochimilco Gardens- The two of you, a slow strolling boat, some sweet and savory street food, and vibrant mariachi music. What more could you ask for? Chapultepec Park : The perfect spot for a picnic and a long stroll just for two. Stop by the botanical gardens and get lost in the flora and fauna of Mexico City's green zone. San Angel: Yet another calm neighborhood, San Angel is perfect for a Saturday afternoon spent casually shopping at the Bazaar del Sábado with bright bougainvilleas as the backdrop to a laid-back date.

Q: Which places provide the best tours in Mexico City for groups?

The best group tours take place in Centro Historico, especially Zocalo, often considered the heart of CMDX. It's a great central location to kick off any city tour. Have a group of people you're considering traveling with? Our GWG tours can accommodate the people YOU want to invite, creating an exclusive group experience.

Mexico

I have been a volunteer local guide since 2018, during that time I have met people from all around the world which taught me a lot to interact with all kinds of people as well as to show my city in an authentic and interesting way. I like taking people to places that show the other Mexico city's face, a closer perspective to how its inhabitants live it day by day. History and photography are my other two great passions

Born and raised in the vibrant heart of Mexico City, I've always been captivated by the ancient wonders and rich cultural tapestry that our country has to offer. My journey led me to study archaeology and become a certified tourist guide, driven by a passion for uncovering the hidden stories of pre-Colonial art and worldviews. In 2018, I proudly earned my Master's Degree in Mesoamerican Studies from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). It was during this time that my love and passion for Mexico and its ancient cultures inspired me to create unforgettable archaeological and adventure tours in the Riviera Maya and Mexico City. My mission is clear - I aim to ignite interest and awareness about Mexico's rich historical, cultural, and natural heritage. That's why, with a commitment to preserving our heritage, my friends and I started our own project.

Mexico

I am a México City local who is in love with it. I love my whole country but I love my city more. I have studied International Relations and Mexican gastronomy and it's history. I work as a tourist guide and in films as a chaperone; in there my job is to receive and take care of foreign producers and actors. Among the task, I take them to eat, party and find stuff that doesn't exist ( yes that happens). As there are different requirements for this jobs I get to know the different parts of the culture, the exclusive, fancy, curious, popular, untidy; the whole ideosincrasy. I am a serious foodie, also enthusiast about, coffee, beer, wine, mezcal and pulque (prehispanic drink). I like to collect hidden jewels from my city and I also like to cook but preferably with the proper calm and telling the story and culture around the food. In order to have some balance I am sportively very active, I practice football soccer and rugby, also willing to go outdoors anytime. When I was about to enter to study I wanted to do something good for my country; this jobs are a great way to do it, I am proud to show my culture. I also like the fact that I get to learn from visitors, their way of seeing the world. It is very rewarding when visitors leave happy.
