We booked two tours with Daniel during our brief visit of CDMX, first to the historical center, then to Coyoacan the next day. Daniel is an expert of the city and guided us to not only the main attractions, but also various hidden gems that we would never have discovered on our own. He tailored the schedule to our liking, and adjusted according to weather (rain) and interests. We had a great time and highly recommend him to anyone else!Two great experiences with Daniel

Al hat genau meinen Erwartungen entsprochen und die notwendige Unterstützung geboten. Nachdem die familiäre Angelegenheit erledigt war, gab er mir zahlreiche Infos zur Geschichte Mexikos und zur aktuellen politischen Situation. Am Schluss kam natürlich auch eine kulinarische Tacos Tour durch la Roma nicht zu kurz.Hilfe in spezieller familiärer Situation

Yvan is an expert guide. He seeks your interests and opens you to many more adventures in Mexico than you could imagine. We spent two days with Yvan, getting to know the historic center and chapultepec park sites. We felt so comfortable sharing that time with him, learning so much of Mexico’s deep past and customs. We’d sign up right away for more tours w Yvan! You’ll love Mexico even more with Yvan!

Alaya was very nice and chill. She showed us some pretty and cool places, but we were hoping for some more history or background. Also, she was a bit hard to hear sometimes because she would talk while walking forward and I was standing behind her. Luckily, my daughter helped relay the information to me.

He seems to be a very friendly guy. We anticipate that the weather may have disrupted his plans but he wasn’t really able to adjust to our needs and wasn’t communicating a lot . We missed a warm welcome and any kind of instructions. We didn’t received a drink or snack as indicated in description . Bikes had been in a questionable condition Not what we expected

Definitely one of a kind experience. LGBTQ history told here was deep cut. We lucked out with a good group. Insightful questions and friendly chatting organically extended the tour by an hour but Tania was 100% down to make sure we got the complete experience. Would highly recommend this tour. Keep in mind: food stop is early on afternoon tour, so best to come a bit hungry. Two clean bathroom breaks included as well. Thanks Tania for an unforgettable experience!!Definitely one of a kind experience!

We had hoped to see the Frida Kahlo museum but couldn’t get tickets, but went to Cuoycan anyway and had very enjoyable tour with Al. It’s only about 25-30 mins from the city but it’s much slower, relaxed pace. We walked all along cobble stone streets to see some of the beautiful old homes, stopped in a watercolor painting museum, saw the town square and got some ice cream and churros. It was really nice way to spend our last day, highly recommend Al. Relaxed walk through Cuoyacan

We had a great time with Daniel on a walking food tour exploring neighborhood places. This was our first evening in Mexico City so it helped orient us to the different areas, too. Street side quesadillas, yes crickets(!), spicy candy, tacos, churros it was hard to keep up and you’ll be stuffed afterwards. Really enjoyed learning more about some history as well as the food scene in Mexico City. Great intro to lots of different tastes

Also gave us recs for food places in Roma. Excellent and Must-do tour

(About local Tania)

2 June 2025

It was so interesting to hear a different side of Mexico's indigenous and contemporary history. We stopped at the main landmarks, but Tania also highlighted important hidden landmarks. Each story was told with care, as some were heavier than others. What makes this a tour for the girls, gays, and theys, is that there is a shared understanding of the dangers of repression and the systematic isolation of people based on gender or sexuality. Nevertheless, that does not mean you have to be a girl, gay, or they to fully appreciate the tour, as it's not about that. It's about learning a side of history you would not necessarily learn from a normal city walking tour guide. I love history, so this was so much fun for me. I appreciate all the research that went into creating this experience, and I hope everyone else enjoys too. :)A side of history you wouldn't necessarily learn from other tour guides!

It's my second tour with Tania and she's such a friendly and knowledgeable host. The intimate tour through Guerrero and Centro felt like listening to a friend tell stories. Learning the queer and feminist side of Mexican history you learn about on other tours and in museums is a needed perspective when visiting CDMX.It felt like listening to a friend tell stories!

I seriously couldn’t recommend this tour enough. Tania was an AMAZING host who brought a perfect mix of extensive historical and cultural knowledge but also amazing vibes that made the tour fun and not like sitting in class. I learned so many things that I would not have just walking around myself. Also, as a queer person, it was so nice to be in a space made for people like me while traveling to a new city. I seriously would re book this tour if I came back, thank you again TaniaI can't recommend Tania enought!

My group and I had such a great experience with Tania! Tania had a wealth of knowledge regarding queer history, feminist activism, and indigenous history in Mexico City. Nothing we learned on this tour could easily be found in textbooks or even online, so I was very impressed by how much independent research Tania had done and what an expert she was on these important subjects. She also provided a list of recommendations on movies and documentaries if we wanted to learn more. Tania had a great sense of humor and was very easy to get along with, so we all enjoyed spending the day with her. The restaurant we started the tour at was also very delicious and unique, so that was a fun added bonus. I would recommend this activity to anyone visiting Mexico City!I would recommend to anyone visiting Mexico City!

I had a great tour with Laos in Mexico City. He customized the experience based on my interests, and since it was a religious day, most museums were closed — but he made the most of it by focusing on churches, landmarks, and, of course, tacos. His background in art really came through, and he was incredibly patient and knowledgeable throughout. I had asked to include some food stops, and he definitely delivered — taking me to a few local spots I never would’ve found on my own. Felt more like exploring the city with a friend than a guide. Highly recommend!Exploring Mexico City with Laos

Tania has worked hard to research and craft a history tour with an emphasis on queer and feminist leaders and figures in CDMX whose stories aren’t well known or included in official records. And also about contemporary issues facing women and LGBTQ+ communities. Tania is very honest and straightforward. Was lovely to spend the morning exploring the city and learning with like minded people. I can recommend this tour.Very thoughtful tour!

We highly recommend this tour with Laos. He’s a delightful guide, very knowledgeable, & an effective communicator. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him & benefited greatly from his expertise. We got an excellent orientation to the Centro, visiting key sites & experiencing the beauty & excitement of the City, though the highlight for us was the murals in the Rodriquez market. We could never have done this on our own. He also gave us recommendations & directions for other places to visit. Book this tour - it’s great! Great Tour!
