The Real Mexico City: Visiting a Non Touristy Neighborhood
Hi, I'm Diego, a tour guide in Mexico City and in Wroclaw, Poland, for 6 years. In 2016 I was nominated for Citizen of the Year in Mexico for my work as an activist in the Santa María la Ribera neighborhood. I love to show the charm of a city and the most unknown part by tourists.

Tour description
Do you think that CDMX is something more than Roma, Condesa, city center, or Coyoacán? Do you want to go to a real neighborhood in Mexico City? Then this tour is for you.
We will be walking through the emblematic, traditional, and oldest neighborhood of the city, the hidden gem of Mexico City: Santa María la Ribera.
This is a tour of an unconventional and non-touristy place. You will get a taste of the real Mexico City and see how mexicans really live. A tour for professional tourists. A tour without filters, where you will see the best and the worst of the city.
We will visit the largest library in Latin America, we will see beautiful churches, and museums and will experience real life in the city, going into the streets, houses, and parks.
You will be accompanied by a local bilingual guide, with more than 30 years of living in the place.
Tour is not suitable for kids, teenagers or reduced mobility people.

We'll meet outside Museo Universitario del Chopo. This is at Enrique González Martínez 10. Two blocks from the Revolución metro and metrobus station. You will identify me because I will have an open pink umbrella.

Can’t say enough good things about this tour with Diego… he is so knowledgeable, and personable, and the tour is such a great mix of historical details and insights into present-day Mexico City. I’m really impressed with how he has designed the route in a way that’s so enjoyable and also conveys so much.

Diego was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. The tour had a good blend of art, history, and culture. It was definitely what I expected from a different side of CDMX!

Diego was a great tourguide! He walked us around town for 3 hours, told us so many great stories and fun facts, and let us try a Mexican fermented drink, which was delicious! He was very interactive, and he was very proud of his city, which was fun to witness. Great great tourguide, I would recommend everyone to do a tour with him!!

Amazing tour with Diego !!! Extremely interesting. We went through unsual places, closer to the mexican culture, with a local guide who gave us many information and took the time to explain us everything and answer our questions (we had a 3 hours tour).
Thanks a lot Diego 🙏🏼
I strongly recommend this tour, with Diego !
