We organized a tour guide to bring us see the pyramids.We did this at the check in counter at our hotel. We went in a very comfortable vehicle which accommodated the 7 in our family group.It takes around 45 mins from the city center.Our guide pointed out places of interest enroute.When we arrived near the pyramids he brought us to a small settlement where locals showed us how tequila was made and how some of the cactus are used to make traditional blankets and ponchos. It was very interesting and there was also a good shop where you could buy souvenirs and local crafts.It was then a short walk to the pyramids. Our guide brought us to the pyramid of the sun first and then the moon. You can walk up to the top via deep steps which are not for the faint hearted.The view from the top is amazing and worth the trek up. It’s not suitable for older people or young children.It was a lovely day. Make sure to bring sunscreen and a hat as it can get very hot and there is nowhere to shelter.
We had such an AMAZING time with Jocan and Camille on our "secret bar" tour of Mexico City!! We had a group of about ~10 people, all in our early/mid 30s, none of us Spanish speakers, so we booked this tour because we didn't want to waste time bumbling around going to the wrong bars. I won't give away which bars we went to, but they took us to two fabulous rooftop bars, 1 really cool underground bar with the most unique drinks I've ever seen, and then a super fun club with an amazing DJ that my friends are still praising. We loved one of the rooftop bars so much that we asked Jocan to make another reservation for us on Friday night (when we had another ~10 friends coming in), and he was super helpful and made the reservation for us! Both Jocan and Camille were very knowledgeable and seem to know everything about cool bars to go to in Mexico City. They were also super fun, and were dancing up a storm at the last club that we went to! Everyone in our group loved them, and we can't recommend them highly enough!
Then we also went on the street art tour with them the next day, which I also highly recommend. We originally super ambitiously booked the tour for 11am, but during the secret bar tour (the night before), Jocan asked me if I was sure if I could get my group mobilized for an 11am tour, and he was totally right so we changed the time to 1:30pm.
Definitely do these tours, and request Jocan and Camille!
Awesome to hear you appreciated Jocan & Camilles' company so much! We created the Nightlife Auteur: Secret Bars tour because Mexico City is one of those places where the night scene changes very rapidly. What is super hip one day, can be naff, pompous, (and/or shut down) the next week!
We also know that it is much easier to let your hair down, or select the right cocktail, when you've got a trusted local by your side. Jocan has been a resident DJ for most of the MX's hard hitting clubs (including the BoilerRoom line up) and Camille was frankly born fun-loving & urban savvy, so meeting them really sealed the deal for us.
I know they will be overjoyed to get your feedback. Big thanks to your group for sending it to us!

Our guide Jocan took us on an interesting tour of the graffiti and told us how government and private individuals are sponsoring this type of art on buildings. We also visited a graffiti store where all the supplies are available. It was terrific to see the art of different artists and how some of them came from France and Italy as well as being locals. If you have any interest in art “outside of the box” this was great.
We are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your street art tour with Jocan! Jocan really enjoys researching the evolution of the different street pieces you see and sharing insights about the artists who paint them.
We think that an artist's background, their technique and the urban context of a piece matter, so I know he will be super pleased to receive your kind feedback.
We look forward to showing you the next round of throwups, tags and murals!

This was a wonderful, creative way to see the city. Our guide, Jocan, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We saw parts of the city we would have missed and learned much about the art scene in Mexico City.
Thank you for you wonderful feedback Nancy! The location of this tour is very much off-the-beaten-path, isnt it?
We love introducing visitors to a part of the city that many locals themselves have never seen! The art and colour really contrasts the urban backdrop!
We hope you'll be back to catch the next generation of inner city throwups, tags and murals soon!

My two teenage sons and I did this tour and loved it! We had Jocan, he was so informative and the history behind street art in Mexico City was very thorough and he knew about all the murals. The surprise at the end was so fun!
Thanks for your wonderful feedback Shannon! We know it's not easy keeping teenagers happy on holiday so we are thrilled to know our Street Art Tour ticked all the boxes! Jocan's tour is vibrant, informative, and interactive because... well....that's how life and art should be, right?!
Safe travels and future adventures!
