We had an amazing taco tour with Nicolas and can’t recommend him highly enough. He was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. The tour felt truly personalised, and we loved discussing the history and architecture of Mexico City while visiting his favourite taco spots. Every place he took us to was outstanding – authentic local gems we never would have found on our own. Nicolas was personable, accommodating, and an endless source of fascinating insights about the city and its food culture. A great way to understand the city through its food. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback! We’re glad that Nicolas provided such a warm, personalized, and insightful taco tour for you. It’s fantastic to know that you enjoyed discovering authentic local spots and learning about Mexico City’s history, architecture, and food culture through his guidance. Your recommendation means a lot, and we look forward to helping you create more memorable experiences in the future!
What a fun afternoon! Ingrid did a fantastic job choosing taco places to see. My husband is gluten free and she made sure to find places that could accommodate dietary restrictions and still give us a wonderful variety of tastes and experiences.
We’re happy that Ingrid made your afternoon so enjoyable and ensured your husband’s dietary needs were taken care of, all while giving you a delicious variety of flavors and experiences. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! So glad you had a fun time!
This was our favorite tour in Mexico City! Isaac was an amazing tour guide who took his time with us and made the experience so special. He took us to some amazing taco spots and a dessert place. He knew the Roma Norte neighborhood well and even took us to a park and gave history lesson. Issac started as a guide and left as a new friend.
We’re thrilled to hear that Isaac made your Mexico City experience so memorable and that you enjoyed the taco and dessert spots, as well as the history and sights of Roma Norte. It’s fantastic that he was able to connect with you so personally — starting as a guide and ending as a new friend.
Our guide Ninelth was very good, she adapted the tour just how we wanted. A little culture, history and food.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad that Ninelth tailored the tour to your preferences, combining culture, history, and food. We hope it made for a memorable experience!

Amazing tour, food and tacos. Marisol was great. Absolutely would recommend this and her to anyone!!
Marisol is truly fantastic, and we’re so glad she made your experience special! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you on another adventure soon.
We had a great evening out with Marisol and learnt so much about the city, people, flowers and food. We would recommend this trip.
So glad you had such a lovely evening with Marisol! Sounds like the perfect mix of local stories, flavors, and culture. Thanks for the recommendation—we’d love to host you again!
Nina was very friendly, professional, fun to spend the day with and took us to the best hidden gems in the city!
Thank you for your kind words! It’s great to hear how Nina’s friendly and professional approach made your day enjoyable, especially with her insider knowledge of the city's hidden gems. Sounds like a fantastic experience!
Unfortunately, this was our most disappointing tour in CDMX. I’d arranged a tour in our hotel area but at the last minute, our guide, Monica, talked us into taking a taxi to a different area of the city. That took almost 1/3 of our paid time - traffic was thick. Then, we ate at two taco places (vegetarian). Monica then tried to take us to a seafood taco place (we’re pescatarian)…but, upon our arrival, they were closed. This actually happened 3 times! All closed! And then she left. We never got our seafood tacos we’d been promised. It was a pretty disappointing experience and literally left us hungry. She needed to do better groundwork to know what was open. And she shouldn’t have had us waste so much time in a taxi.
Hello Kurt, We are sorry that your taco day in Mexico City did not live up to your expectations - we are committed to making sure your day goes your way and I’m sorry to read that this was not the case for you as your meeting point was set to your hotel and we did receive your dietary needs in your questionnaire. I would like to assure you that your feedback is a great help to us as it allows us to further refine our procedures and host training to ensure situations like this are prevented and that every guest has the memorable day that they deserve. We hope to have another chance to host you again in the future to show you our commitment to improving. Warm regards, Kyle. and the City Unscripted team.

We appreciate your kind words and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on another experience soon!
