Cheerful Introduction Walking Tour in Roma, Condesa & Juarez
Description
Feeling drawn to the marvels of Mexico City but also a bit intimidated, overwhelmed or unsure about how to navigate this magical megalopolis safely whilst also connecting to it deeply? I had the exact same feeling before I became privileged to call this vibrant city my home, so let me put your mind at ease and give you an experience you won't forget and feel like a true local. Whilst I intend to walk, talk and dazzle you through some of my favorite spots and key historical and cultural points of interest in the leafy and hip neighborhoods of Roma, Condesa and Juarez, the real aim of this tour is to serve as an introduction to the city, through the eyes of a foreigner, and to give you the confidence and the know-how to go and get lost on your own greater adventure in Mexico City and beyond. Ideal for the beginning of your trip, this will give you a whole plethora of ideas to do for the rest of your time here. It’s a little bit of everything to inspire and ignite your imagination.

This tour was EXCELLENT!!! Jack was so knowledgeable and we had an engaging conversation throughout the tour. While this tour is recommended early on your visit to Mexico City, I took it on my last day and it was still very helpful to me. Can’t recommend it enough.
We can't recommend Jack highly enough. Communication with him prior to our tour was exceptional. He has such a lovely personality, is very open and engaging, in addition to being knowledgeable and informative... just the right balance of information, sights, highlights and perfect pace. Highly recommend his tour as an overview for first timers in particular.
Excellent introduction and overview of our local neighborhoods! His tour was filled with history, current events, places to eat, architecture, etc. His warm and welcoming personality made the tour top notch!
Jack was a great tour guide! Originally from London, he’s been in CDMX for 5 years and knows a lot of great insider tops on the area. The neighborhoods were beautiful and the churros and tacos were soooo good!
If you are a first timer to Mexico city as we were, start your trip off with this walking tour! Lalo was warm and knowledgable, expertly navigating several neighbourhoods. We quickly felt at ease in Mexico City ( and walked 18,000 steps in the process! We had amazing churros (GF) and the best tacos I've ever had. Well worth the time/$
Spent a lovely time with Laila, around condessa and roma norte. Learnt heaps about the area and mexico in general. It was a perfect introduction to Mexico- relaxed, fun and informative. Can not recommend Laila highly enough. Thankyou
