Travel by Cable Car in Mexico City-Iztapalapa
Description
I understand that foreign people are afraid to visit the poor area of Mexico City. It is true that there are very dangerous areas and they are not pretty to see. I would like foreigners to open their minds and venture out of areas like Polanco, Roma or Reforma. We will take the transportation that normal Mexicans use on a daily basis. Upon arriving at the first cable car station, we will begin to see the ghetto and its surroundings. We can walk around but only at specific places on the trip. At no time will we go down in red areas. From that point, I will give you information about the different social classes in Mexico and why this country continues to be a place of poverty. Likewise, we will talk about Mexican culture and its valuable people. Specifically about the people who live in that area. You don't always have the opportunity to travel to a place like Latin America. So you have to make the most of the trip. The tour is English and/or Spanish. With me you will be safe :)
Tour Options
Itinerary
Most tourists always visit the same places. They don't know the real Mexico. With me you can learn about the life of Mexicans without being in danger. I will meet you at the Bellas Artes metro station and from that point our trip by public transportation will begin to the beginning of the Cablebús (Cable car). I will be with you at all times, so there will be no danger. Together we will travel through the sky of the marginalized area of Mexico City. At no time will we go out on the dangerous streets, so the trip is very safe and perfect to get to know the other reality that almost no one talks about. We will return to the same starting point. Ideal to enjoy the Museum of Fine Arts. On this trip the language will be spoken in English and/or Spanish.

If you want to step off the beaten path, book this experience. Luis was an exceptional guide—thoughtful, highly knowledgeable, and deeply considerate. He gave us a captivating glimpse into local life outside the bustling center of Mexico City. The long gondola ride was peaceful and a major highlight!
It was a fascinating experience that I would not do alone. Jose Luis was a very good guide who addressed all our questions and needs. 👍🏼
Thank you so much Gabriele. I'm happy you gave a chance to this place in Mexco City. I hope you can come with your family next time. Hope to see you soon!!!
Jose was a great host provided detailed insight of the area! We took the metro to the cable cars, which offered amazing views of the area below and gave us a chance to see the real Mexico. We also took a stroll around the neighborhood and were lucky enough to catch the flea market while it was on. A fantastic experience and highly recommended!
Thank you so much!!!! I had fun with you too. I'm really happy you enjoyed this experience :') I just hope next time you could try more mexican food hahaha.
Jose Luis was a very friendly, conversational and an interesting tour guide! We learned a lot and got to see a remote part of Mexico City that most visitors don't see - from the comfort of the cable cars, which are surprisingly modern, smooth, and safe!
Alex Alex Alex... Whenever you come back, gime me an opportunity to try the best mexican food in your life!!! hahahaha. Thank you for taking this experience with me. At least I know you like mexican pastry :9
Our Tour Guide Jose Luis was the Best Tour Guide so far because he delivered the Best Insights of Mexico City History. He made sure we understood everything around the area that was happening during our Tour Guide. He went Above and Beyond our Expectations during our Cable Car Tour to explain everything about Mexico City Culture and History. I would Highly Recommend Anyone to Book this Cable Car Tour with Jose Luis because He was the Best Tour Guide...👍👍
Eddie... You are making me cry :') So happy tha Melissa and you enjoyed this experience. I hope you had a great birthday in Garibaldi!!! Let´s meet again, those tongue tacos are waiting for us hahaha.
This was an absolutely unique experience and one of the most enjoyable things that we did in Mexico City. The cable cars are incredibly efficient and give amazing views of the city. Luis also took us to a large public market where we were able to sample the food and buy some keepsakes. Luis is a superb guide with excellent English skills
Michael!!! it was my pleasure to meet you both. I was really happy you had the chance to look around the market and also talking with you both felt so comfortable. I hope you can visit México in Día de Muertos, I bet you it'll be a great experience too!!!
We just got on subway at the Fine Arts museum at the historic city centre (at 10 am, past the morning rush hour) for about 50 cents per person, went all the way to the end station and took the cablecar from there - to the end and back. It's part of theur public transit and cist another 25 cents or so. The views are incredible, the locals were curious and asked us where we were from. The staff at the station let women with children yo join our car, but not single men - it's super safe.
It was definitely great to be able to see the real mexico city with a great tour guide. felt safe the whole time and he treated me to great snacks and tacos in the area!!
USA and Mexico are very similar in a certain way. Thank you for spending your time with me, I had a really great time with you :) Please visit me again, let's eat quesadillas again haha :)
Luis was fantastic, very knowledgeable and very passionate. Highly recommend this trip to see and hear about the real Mexico
Thank you so much Johanna and Peter for your time! I hope you enjoyed the blue tortilla!!! hahaha. Enyoy your time in Mexico city. I'm sure you are going to fall in love with the culture ;)
We had a great time with Luis. It was a great way to see a different part of Mexico City and get a local’s perspective. The tour was informative and interesting and we enjoyed riding the cable cars and the views from above. We definitely recommend this tour if you’re looking for something different and off the beaten path.
Thank you JJ. I was honored to show you this part of Mexico city to the JJ's family and Patrick hehe. I believe the thing I enjoyed the most was talking about the things we share between Manila and Mexico city. I really hope we can meet again. I had a pleasent and happy day with you all :)
