Getting to know Tepito from someone who’s from there and her family goes back four generations can’t get any better than that. Gabby was an AMAZING tour guide. Very informative and what was also amazing was that she knew a lot of people in the barrio and many knew her. The food and the drinks were so good. Despite the reputation Tepito has, it also carries a lot of history and culture. I had a great time, I would definitely do it again.
Gabriela was an excellent tour guide and really helped enhance our experience in learning about Tepito and its history! I would highly highly recommend it to anyone!
Excellent experience, the guide is very good; being local, they know the history and the people of the area very well. Highly recommended tour
I recently took a tour of Tepito and it was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my trip to Mexico City. The tour was incredibly informative and provided a perspective on the neighborhood that I would never have gained on my own. Our guide did an outstanding job throughout the tour. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and daily life of Tepito, and she explained everything in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. She was also very kind, welcoming, and happy to answer questions. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a more authentic and insightful experience in Mexico City.
Today we had a tour of Tepito with the amazing Gaby. It was incredible from start to finish. Many people told us to not go to Tepito but we wanted to experience the warmth and culture of the local people. This is exactly what Gaby delivered. From the local market, to trying the some of the best food we have ever had, to experiencing truly unique and jaw dropping local culture and life , it is simply a day we will never forget. Do not listen to the people who say do not go, with Gaby it will be something you will always remember, the people of Tepito showed us warmth, kindness , fun and freindship. We were actually sad to leave Gaby as she kindly walked us out and into the centro area. Gaby thank you for amazing tour and friendship on the day. Whatever the asking price , book it, you will not be disappointed. An easy 5 star for Tepito and Gaby.
Incredible and exciting . The tour is very informative. You get to experience the real Tepito not just what you hear on the news.
Spending 3 hours in Tepito with Lili, who grew up there, was the highlight of my trip to Mexico. She is an amazing guide, fluent in English, who took me everywhere in this historic and infamous "barrio" which has existed since before the conquistadores came. This is the real Mexico City - not a tourist trap. You will see the famous market, the famous boxing gym that spawned champion boxers, the Sainte Muerte altar and you will eat the most delicious street food inside Tepito. Unforgettable and highly recommended.
This experience is very much worth it. Lili was the best tour guide she explains everything in detail and takes her time. Would definitely recommend!
I had a very interesting, great day with Nelly in Tepito! There is much more to see than just the market! She showed me where and how people live there, which I was very interested in. I also learned how Tepito has evolved.
To be able to be welcomed into the heart of Tepito with Nelly was a great experience and one I’ll never forget. Don’t let the sensationalist press and absurd influencer videos about this neighborhood form your opinion. If you’re in Mexico City, take this tour and experience Tepito for yourself
