An amazing experience with an amazing person! - I went to visit the Bravo neighborhood with Gaby who explained everything in detail how Tepito lives and the culture that founds this place so full of history and bad fame. We went to the market and it was amazing especially because Gaby knows everyone and takes you to the best places to buy chias. I would highly recommend the tour both for what you see and for Gaby's safety and sympathy. At no point did I feel in danger and I was super happy to know a part of town that alone I could not have. From Italy to Tepito I thank Gaby very much for this beautiful project! See you in Italy when you come 😘

Tepito is a gem! - I loved the tour of Tepito. My guide was Nelly, and she grew up in Tepito and so, was extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture and socio-economic condition of the neighborhood. I started the tour with a certain (un-educated) perspective and left with a totally different view. The people are wonderful...the food is exceptional and the experience is totally unique. Nelly was a prize!

Awesome tour of a tight-knit community with our wonderful guide Nelly - Amazing walking tour of the unique Tepito neighborhood! Nelly was our fantastic guide who lives there and has family roots going back generations. Maze of vendor booths that require personal knowledge to really experience all. Highly recommended as a different experience in CDMX. Thanks Nelly!

Tour Was Awesome, Straightforward and I'd do it again - Went with Daughter who is 4 and wife. Nelly was our guide. 10/10 l, I'm going to try to doordash her family's delicious soup restaurant which was on Anthony Bourdaine show. Found very nice shoes and ate really, really yummy liver tacos. A statement I never thought I'd have in life but everything was great. Also the Church we saw was one of the prettiest I've seen in the world. From a family from the US, thank you for showing me so much love.

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)!
