A side of Mexico City I've never seen - Previously I had visited Tepito as a merchant, but I never had the opportunity to appreciate the artistic and community side that surrounds the area. Gaby is a wonderful Guide: friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. Tepito’s fame has always been such that it prevents certain citizens or tourists from visiting, but the Guide allows you to walk around feeling safe, alone or as a couple. I highly recommend it.

Highlight of my CDMX trip! - So glad i went ahead with this tour. Gaby and Martin were so excellent and friendly, their in depth knowledge of Tepito made this tour such a great experience. You feel safe at all time on this tour; they were there at the meeting point before I was (and I was early!) and they waited until I got on my Uber home. If not for this tour, would never in a million years imagine I could have the experience of going to Tepito and learning so much about it. Muchas Gracias!

Fabulous tour! - We had such a great time touring Tepito with Gaby and Martín. Gaby is a fourth generation resident of Tepito and her family is deeply invested in the history of the area. We learned about art, history, tradition, culture and the people who make Tepito so unique. It’s very much a local’s tour taking you places you wouldn’t have access to on your own. It’s led very sensibly and respectfully and opens your eyes to the city within the city. Absolutely recomendable!

Amazing way to see real Mexico - The tour of Tepito was easily my best experience of my time in Mexico. The tour is led by real Tepiteños who ensure a safe environment. In the tour, they bring you to some great food stalls (where I even bought some really tasty and spicy salsa picante to bring home), show you the market, street art, the stories of La Santa Muerte, etc. The tours are done in small groups (english or spanish) which makes the experience even better. This is an absolute must do while your are in Mexico and is worth every single penny.

A memorable and insightful experience - This is a great tour that shows a different side of Mexico City. It’s clear that the tours are grounded in the local community and the small group approach is respectful and allows for informative conversations. We learnt a lot and had no safety concerns at all. Thank you!

A Must-See in Mexico-City, An Unforgettable and Friendly Experience - To be honest, I had always heard about this neighborhood and seen videos on YouTube and Netflix discussing safety and Mexico. However, all I found here were incredibly kind, warm, hardworking, and passionate people who have a deep love for their neighborhood. At the end of the tour, I told Gaby how much I loved the sense of community that you can feel among everyone. The tour was amazing. I felt like I was with an old friend I hadn’t seen in years—the conversation never stopped. I loved the food places we visited. I’m not usually a fan of liver, but I decided to try it, and I have to say, I found the one place where it tastes delicious—I even had two tacos (they're huge)! Additionally, Gaby has always lived here, so she knows everyone and has countless stories that she hasn't just heard, but lived. Having her share those stories with us was priceless. Thank you so much, Gaby and Martin, for such a wonderful experience. You are amazing people, and I will definitely come back for more experiences with you. I highly recommend that no one misses out on this unique part of the city.

You have to take this tour at least once in your life! - This place for its fame did not dare to visit since I travel alone but research this tour and are locals who know its people and the neighborhood so it gave me confidence and I will never regret it I always felt safe and welcome in the most famous neighborhood of Mexico City or the world. Food, Music, Rich and Refreshing Drinks and Many Shopping. Love my new bag and athletic shoes.
