Friendly Tepiteño hostess - I took along with a group of friends the Tepito tour with Gabi in mid-November with the intention of getting to know Mexico City. My favorite part was the friendly treatment of Gabi and that made us feel safe throughout the tour. Her perspective of the neighborhood being her 4th generation allowed me to understand more deeply the reality of the neighborhood. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know the CoM beyond the common tourist spots.

The Absolute BEST Tour I've Ever Taken - 100% Must - Don't think twice, book immediately. While in CDMX I participated in multiple excursions and tours, hot air ballon rides, food and drink tours, futbol matches and NOTHING came close to this experience. Nelly was my guide for the day and I can't say enough great things. Tepito was amazing, but the real prize was Nelly. She was so kind, patient, knowledgable and made the experience the best tour ever. You will walk the maze of the markets, see the triangle of churches, visit the shrine of Santa Muerte (and maybe meet Doña Queta). The best compliment I can give is that even though I've already taken the tour and seen Tepito, I'd probably do it again! Side note, Migas la Güera is worth the trip alone. It is quite literally the best tour I've ever taken in any country. Thank you so much Nelly (and Gabby)!

Tepito leaves you wanting to come back ♥ - Gabi is TOP, one of the best experiences I have had at CDMX, what I lacked was more time to know more, I am sure I will return because I am dying to buy and know more. Gaby is too attentive and super funny and the way to explain captivates you too much. We enjoyed 100% of the whole tour. Gabi we hope to be back soonooo! Greetings from Costa Rica!

Favorite tour in CDMX - I recently did this tour with Gabi and this was easily my favorite thing I did in Mexico City! Gabi was very knowledgeable of the area and she took great pride in showing us the History of Tepito. I felt extremely safe with her as she was born and raised in the area so everyone knew her and said hi as she walked through the market. I highly recommend this tour to everyone as yall will get to see the REAL Mexico City. 10/10 will definitely do this tour again!

Amazing experience to see tepito and learn about its history with a friendly local - I enjoyed this tour a lot. Nelly is a very friendly and knowledgeable of this area because she’s from here. She told me a lot about the history and current of Tepito, we visited a few churches , saw the open market and I also bought some stuff for my phone. We tried local food and local drink, which was refreshing and tasty. The tour was very very safe , she even waited until my Uber picked me up when we finished this tour. I highly recommend this experience to everybody who comes to Mexico City and have not been to tepito. It gives you an amazing opportunity to not only experience tepito very safely with a local , but learn a lot of history about it. Locals were very friendly when I showed up with Nelly. Thank you !!!
