Overview

Would you like to fly over to the largest municipality in Mexico City? So, we have designed a journey to IZTAPALAPA, an area that reflects the daily lives of millions of Mexicans. This urban district is full of culture, street food, traditions, and history that comes as far from the Aztecs! This adventure starts Downtown, where we’ll take the subway towards the suburbs, while we talk about the challenge of transportation in the largest city in North America! Then we’ll visit a local museum to learn about the history of Iztapalapa and its current role in holding the largest open community theater in the world. After that, the crown jewels are coming: We’ll fly like birds THE LARGEST CABLE CAR OF THE WORLD for a stunning view of the valley. In between, we’ll visit a local market for the best taco of your life. Finally, we’ll toast with a pre-hispanic drink: Pulque. Mexico is our pride and we can't wait to share little-known gems with you. You will be delighted!

If I could give this tour 6 stars, I would!

Published on Jul, 2024

Our guide Lionel was fantastic. The tour lived up to everything promised and then some. Lionel showed us around Iztapalapa, where he grew up, and really taught us about the history of the area and through it the history of Mexico City. Riding the CableBus to see how most Mexico City residents actually live was fascinating, from the rooftop murals to the sounds of the city and the multiple libraries housed in decommissioned 737s. Trying Pulque was a treat and the peppermint-flavored version was my favorite. Very delicious! This tour is a must-do for anyone who wants to safely visit outside the tourist areas of central Mexico City.

Explore Mexiko with a local

Published on Jul, 2024

Aaron explained us a lot about Mexiko and its history. The museum was very interesting and the highlight was the viewpoint on top of it. The tour with the gondola was impressive – we would recommand to everybod who wants to know more about Mexiko than just the typical touristic stuff. We ate the best tacos in town and tasted some locald beverages. Thanks a lot to Aaron for this wonderful experience! All the best for you.

Informative, local life experience

Leonel is a very nice guy! He is knowledgeable, patient and looked after us the whole time. We took the metro and cable car across the city, tried taco and pulque, bought traditional candies and got to know lots of fun stories about the city. It was a very pleasant tour. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.
