Jocan is a really cool guide with a lot of knowledge about the underground scene and what is tryin to be hidden from the media in Mexico. I really recommend to get to know this part of the city and you get a gift experience in the end which you will enjoy for sure!!
Really good stuff!!

MEZCAL!!!! Great experience!

Two hour Mezcal experience with Paco and Monica. We were SUPER impressed with the range and quality of the information. Paco is a true specialist and Monica was a great translator and a great person to enjoy a mezcal with!! Great bar also.
Only criticism was the price - I am sure we had high quality mezcal but it is quite high when comparing to electric bike or foodie tour.

Many thanks for your wonderful comments Colleen! Paco is definitely a one-of-a-kind-expert. He is also one of the few people who has first-hand knowledge of how each and every mezcal is harvested, fermented, and distilled. Where it happened, why it happened like that, and who was present in the process. And that makes all the difference in terms of truly understanding why a flavor is the way it is. And what differentiates it from the others.

Paco does not speak English, so your tour price includes a translator AND his guide services (as well as the mezcal degustation itself). At Stylewalk we don't believe in false economies. We know that Paco is THE Rhodes Scholar of mezcal, so we prefer to cherish his skills and pay for a translator to accompany you, rather than bring in a host who speaks english, but knows next to nothing.

I am sure you will agree, Paco and Monica are a team well-worth treasuring. You can't find this info in an encyclopedia. Or even Wikipedia. And that's what makes visiting Mexico City even more special.

We sincerely look forward to hosting you again next time! Both Paco and Monica very much enjoyed your enthusiasm and interest, and will welcome seeing you and your friends again!

Best
Laura

Stylewalk MX, Architecture Tour

I was a little apprehensive when booking the tour because there was no set itinerary. However right after booking I received a questionnaire asking about my interests. When we met our guide, Ramon, he quickly put my my concerns to rest. He is an architect and lecturer with broad knowledge of the architecture of Mexico City. I am also an architect, so I had a pretty high bar on what I was hoping to see and learn. My hopes were exceeded in every way. It was a delightful day spent seeing a number of buildings including one that Ramon had worked on the design. I would highly recommended it.

Disappointing bar tour

We were disappointed with the tour and the guide. First two places were fine and the food was very nice at the second. The last two bars were far too crowded and there was real difficulty in getting a seat. The music was not to the taste of one of us in the third place. We were not consulted as to the type of music we liked.

Did not feel guide gave us much information about the music, the bars, Mexico City or the drinks. Anyway in last two places, because of the noise and the seating arrangements when we finally did get a seat, it would not have been worth giving a commentary. For much of the time guide was elsewhere anyway.

We also did not think the tour was good value for money. It includes no drinks or transport and you pay for the guide’s food and drink too!!!!! We did a food tour for much the same price with food included for example. Further in these days of the internet people can find bars themselves and so we were expecting quite out of the way and different places, which did not seem to be the case.

We are really grateful for your feedback, and appreciate the time and effort your group has put into this.

We agree that tailoring our tours to our clients is essential to getting it right on the night. The cost of the tour reflects that it is a private tour, where the guide is there to take care of you, and only you. Be it: your security, organising transport, making advance reservations, or knowing how to access lesser-known venues.

You mention that you were not consulted about your tastes, however prior to the tour you received a questionnaire asking you about your "interests/ preferences/pet hates & hopes". Your answer to this question was: " in your hands". In this way your guide, Jocan, believed you were open to his expertise and curation.

When a client specifies something like dive-bars only, well-heeled speakeasies, must have a smoking area, or glitzy disco etc, then we create a program for them based on their feedback. In your case, Jocan chose a mixture of eclectic hipster bars located in La Condesa and La Roma. I am glad to hear that you did enjoy the first two of these that you went to.

Obviously nothing is set in stone, so when you indicated that you did not like the electronic music of the third bar, Jocan adapted his plans so that you could experience an unnamed live-jazz venue instead. To have a table reserved for you with no noise would have required advance notice and investigation, so yes he did have to run around a bit to make sure you would be comfortable there. We are sorry if this experience didn't live up to your expectations, however. We are very aware that our guests’ time in foreign countries is precious and every moment counts, so we apologize if you feel the end of the night was not worth it.

We are glad you got to safely experience Mexico City's upbeat nightlife, however, and sincerely hope the rest of your stay was a pleasant one.

Kind regards,
Laura

Fun city activity!

Mexico City is filled with amazing graffiti and street art, and this tour takes you to some of the most impressive spots. Our guide, Jocan, was fun and knowledgeable. The tour ends with creating your own street art! Highly recommend.

Thanks Kelsey! our Urban Art Tour guides are very involved in the graffiti scene, so they always know what's happening, where is it happening and mainly why is it happening. This tour gives us the chance to show you guys the popular and urban lifestyle of Mexico.

Happy to know you had a great time with us!

Flexi Mexi City Tour was GREAT!

We booked an 8 hour Flexi-Mexi Tour and a driver with a wheelchair accessible vehicle to get around on our tour, and it was a blast. We saw Frida's home, Dolores Olmedo's museum, Mercado Coyoacan, the Xochimilco floating gardens, and got to eat some great food all around. No issues getting around in my manual wheelchair, and even no issues getting on and off the boats at Xochimilco with plenty of guys willing to help lift me down to the boat and back. Javier was great and very knowledgeable. TOTALLY worth it!

This was the first time we had a wheelchair-accessible tour request, but as you know we like to make things happen!
We wanted to make sure you got to see and love Mexico City, they same we do.
I am sure you noticed that, generally speaking, Mexico City is NOT a mobility-friendly city, therefore we took extra care with your itinerary so would be fun, informative, big on culture AND logistically possible!

We really appreciated the trust you put in us to take good care of you, and are happy to hear that Javier, (as ever!) was an awesome host for you.

Happy travels. Let us know when you come back. We'd love to take you out again!
