Discover Mexico City with a local (Customizable tour)
Joined 2021
Mexico City is one of the most populous but also most interesting cities in the world. It is a place full of attractions for all kinds of people, however, its extension makes it impossible for it to be explored in a short time. On this tour we offer you the possibility to explore in the way you prefer, visiting the places that interest you the most and skipping the ones that do not. For five hours, you can have a unique experience completely personalized and private!

About Tour Guide Oskar enrique M.
I am a young historian who has been working as a tour guide for 4 years. During this time I have met people from all over the world, which has taught me a lot about interacting with all kinds of people as well as showing my city in an authentic and interesting way. I like to take people to places that show another side of Mexico City, a closer perspective of how its inhabitants live day to day. I also enjoy taking photographs on my tours.

Oskar is a terrific guide, extremely knowledgeable and a great communicator. Setting everything up with Oskar was easy from the get go and we were able to customize our experience with him. If you're looking for a guide in CDMX, I highly recommend Oskar!

“Super detailed and comfortable”
Experience with Oskar was great! Oskar arrived exactly on time with the transportation. He was very knowledgeable about the pyramids. His passion for history comes through - not just Mexican history but world cultures and their histories. It was fascinating to hear him connect the dots for us on not just what was happening in Mexico’s history but also what cultures around the world were going through at that time. He patiently answered the questions my 7 yr old had about the Basilica and about religion. He even got my kids ice cream to keep them motivated to walk during the tour given how hot the weather was. We really enjoyed our conversation with Oskar and are glad he helped us explore his city and fall in love with it.

Hi Nidhi! Thank you so much for such an amazing review! I appreciate it. I had a really good time with you and your family these couple of days we toured around the city. That gift Ivan gave me is one of the most special things a child has ever given me. Thank you so much. I wish you the best and hope you return to Mexico in the future. Muchas gracias amigos!
