PRIVATE TOURS IN MEXICO CITY WITH AN EXPERT GUIDE
More than tours, memorable learning experiences...
Mexico City is a fascinating, complex, intriguing city that I love sharing with discerning travelers from around the world, whether you’re a single traveler, couple, family or a group.
My name is Maricela Muñoz and I’m an independent tour guide. I curate and lead private tours in Mexico City for clients interested in going deep on many aspects of the city including its culture, history, art, architecture, food, nature and how they intersect. I am an expert guide, well-informed by education in Anthropology and Art History and 35 years of lived experience in Mexico City.
On my exclusive private tours:
- I provide discerning travelers an opportunity to learn about the culture and heritage of the city and the region.
- I present a multidisciplinary approach integrating the history and modern day culture with Art History, Anthropology, Archaeology, Architecture & Urbanism, Sociology, local Gastronomy, nature, environment, and more.
- Together, we immerse ourselves in the local culture examining and unwrapping cultural stereotypes as much as possible.
- I carefully design the program according to your schedule and individual interests.
- Are you a foodie and curious about authentic Mexican food? I am too! I’d love to include traditional food tastings in your tour program and create a custom Food & Culture tour.
We will explore everyday life in one of the most vibrant and diverse cities in the world and discuss its history and modern reality in depth with enriching conversations and memories you will cherish.
Looking forward to meeting you in Mexico City!
Rebecca Guise Maricela was a wonderful guide for our tour of Centro Historico. She was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all our questions! I would highly recommend her tours - the best! Melvin Lobo Mexico City tour - December 2025: areas covered DAY 1. Museum of Anthropology, Reforma Avene & Historic CIty Centre DAY 2. Archaeological Site of Teotihuacan DAY 3. Southern Mexico CIty tour Maricela provided an outstanding tour experience of Mexico CIty for my wife and I over a 3 day period. She organised transport in high quality vehicles with an excellent driver. The well thought out itinerary that she designed was agreed in advance but she was open to last minute modifications to suit our needs. Maricela has a deep background in anthropology and is a highly knowledgeable guide with an excellent manner. She knows how to educate without imposing and we learnt a tremendous amount over the three days and had a lot of fun doing so. We cannot recommend her more highly - the guide experience with her was exceptional and made our Mexico City visit so special and we will have lasting memories. I would certainly book her again in the future. Göran Espelund Can highly recommend Maricela's tours. She guided us for 2,5 days on our first visit to Mexico City through everything from the historic center and muralism to the pyramids and Coyocan Market. Our only problem was that we did not have more time to explore more things with Maricela, but will for sure contact her again for our next visit. Melissa Sanchez Tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa con Maricela como nuestra tour guide. Desde el primer momento fue sumamente amable, atenta y profesional, al igual que el chofer, quien también fue excelente. Maricela sabe muchísimo sobre todos los temas; aprendimos tanto que honestamente podríamos pasar todo el día escuchándola. Cada explicación fue interesante, clara y llena de contexto, lo que hizo el viaje muchísimo más valioso y enriquecedor. Tiene una vibra muy bonita: respetuosa, compasiva y cuidadosa. Se adaptó perfectamente a nuestras necesidades, nos llevó a los lugares que queríamos visitar, nos hizo muy buenas recomendaciones y siempre estuvo pendiente de nosotros. Nos sentimos acompañados, cuidados y en muy buenas manos. Fue una experiencia realmente maravillosa y sin duda la recomendaríamos una y mil veces. Daniel Green Maricela was a wonderful tour guide for our 2 day visit to Mexico City! She was super knowledgeable, very flexible, able to navigate the city (and its traffic patterns) very well, and punctual. We will definitely use her again on our next visit! Ian Pady Maricela was our guide for a day trip that took us south of Mexico City. She might be the best guide I’ve ever had. Just an awesome person with deep knowledge on multiple topics. She took us to some incredible places and answered all our questions. We were a group of 4 couples and everyone thought she was amazing. A million stars! Kalpana Raina My trip with Maricela was fantastic. For a first time visitor she made sure I had a good understanding of the contexts of every place we visited. I had a full itinerary but with enough time to savor the flavors, colors and essence of the country. The highlights were the visit to the Anthropology Museum, the Diego Rivera murals and the modernist architecture of Luis Barragan. Her training as an anthropologist and art historian made every stop meaningful. Every detail was meticulously organized. I will definitely visit again and rely on Maricela to introduce me to other areas of this beautiful country. Cynthia R. Slade Maricela is an excellent guide. Her in-depth knowledge combined with her ability to share her insights into the places we visited with her was beyond our expectations. She is smart, friendly and showed enthusiasm for giving us a look at Mexico City and some of its history. If you have a chance to have Maricela as your guide, take it!! Debra D Everything about Maricela's planning, communication and on-site guiding was perfect. My husband and I agreed that touring with her and a private car and driver was essential for doing and seeing everything we wanted to in Mexico City. A private car and driver might seem extravagant, but it eliminated any and all difficulties with transportation in this very traffic-choked city. Her extensive knowledge of anthropology, architecture and art history (European and pre-Columbian) got us into numerous places that most travelers don't ever get to see. Plus, she was full of suggestions for restaurants and was flexible about altering our intinerary when needed. I highly recommend her services to anyone considering travel to Mexico City. Nancy Strom Our experience with Maricela was a gift to ourselves that I won’t soon forget. She is an exceptional tour guide and the perfect person to help you make the most out of your visit to Mexico City. She was gracious and accommodating to me and my daughter and found things in common with each of us. She also was able to answer every single question we had with superlative ease. We are getting towards the end of our trip to this beautiful place and I can’t wait to visit again with her at our side.We went to the Anthropological Museum and on the walking tour to the Historic Neighborhood. I can't wait to connect with her again on a future trip!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 231 reviews
