Trusted by travelers worldwide
Curated Experiences
Handpicked by locals, designed for travelers who want the real Mexico City, not the tourist version. Round-trip private transportation included.

Guateque Teotihuacan Experience
Start your day where ancient history meets living culture.
Round-trip private transportation from Mexico City is included. We leave the city early to arrive at Teotihuacan right as it opens, before the crowds, when the light is soft and the site still feels calm. On the way, you'll catch a unique moment: hot air balloons slowly descending over the valley, setting the tone for the morning.
Inside the archaeological site, we'll walk along the iconic Avenue of the Dead, explore the pyramids, and dive into the stories, symbolism, and energy that make this place one of the most important in Mesoamerica. This isn't about rushing through ruins, it's about understanding what you're seeing and actually connecting with it.
From there, we head into the nearby town of San Martin de las Piramides, where you'll meet local artisans who work with obsidian, a volcanic stone that played a key role in ancient life. You'll learn how it's formed, how it's used, and watch the craftsmanship up close.
We close the experience with a truly special meal inside a cave restaurant, a hidden gem where atmosphere, history, and food come together in a way that feels both grounded and unforgettable. Not the typical experience.
This is not just a visit to Teotihuacan. It's a full, carefully curated journey through history, culture, and local life.
Come and walk the land of Gods.

The Taco Experience
Hands-on cooking class where you'll learn to make authentic tacos, handmade tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and traditional micheladas. Round-trip private transportation from central CDMX included. A five-step journey from Michelada Welcome to Guateque Time.

Xochimilco Boat Experience
Step into one of Mexico City's most iconic traditions.
Join us for a vibrant, social experience in Xochimilco, where colorful trajineras glide through ancient canals, music fills the air, and the energy is effortlessly contagious.
We'll take care of everything, from transportation to securing your private boat, so you can focus on enjoying the moment. Once on board, it's all about good music, cold drinks, great company, and that unmistakable feeling of being somewhere truly unique.
This isn't a chaotic, overcrowded party. It's a curated floating fiesta, fun, social, and just the right amount of wild.
Expect laughter, spontaneous moments, axolotls, mariachi, and a setting that feels both festive and deeply rooted in local culture.
Come ready to vibe, connect, and experience Xochimilco the way it's meant to be.
What's included: Private trajinera in Xochimilco, roundtrip transportation from Mexico City, local host / coordination, music + curated group vibe.
Optional upgrades: Drinks package (beer, micheladas, or cocktails), snacks or light food, special celebrations (birthdays, bachelorettes, private groups).

Born in Mexico City,
Built for Explorers
CDMX Experiences started with a simple idea: the best way to experience a city is with someone who truly knows it. Not a guide reading from a script. A friend who lives and breathes the culture.
We launched in 2025 because we wanted to show tourists and travelers the real CDMX, not the tourist traps. Every experience is personally designed by our team to take you where locals go.
We don't do cookie-cutter tours. Every experience is curated, every guide is local, and every moment is designed to make you feel like an insider, not a tourist.
