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!

Notre expérience avec Marcicela a été un pur plaisir. Non seulement elle parle un français impeccable et a une connaissance de son pays et de son histoire très approfondie, mais elle sait aussi nous conseiller pour des achats ou des expériences culinaires. Nous ne pouvons que conseiller Maricela comme guide.![]()

Wow! I had no idea when we engaged Maricela, what an excellent tour guide she would be! We had two, private tours with her. First, we met at the National Museum of Anthropology. Maricela led us through several exhibits giving us far more information than would have been possible to learn on our own. I highly recommend this tour! The next day, Maricela met us outside the Frida Khalo Blue House and took us, with a driver, to the Xochimilco Canals and a huge market where we tasted some local foods. We also toured the San Bernardino de Siena Church, a church and former monastery built in the 1530’s - so interesting and historical. Maricela is a wealth of information and had answers to all of our questions. I highly recommend her, and look forward to touring with her again when we return to Mexico City.![]()

Maricela is more than an anthropology scholar and (clearly) experienced guide. She is a passionate conduit for the the potency of anthropological insights into humanity. Her guided tour of the Museo Nacional de Antropología was tailored to my interest in a way I have never experienced with other museum guides. If you are serious about diving - not just skimming - the museum, Maricela is your guide!![]()

I’ve had many private walking tours in many cities around the world and this by far was one of the best ones I’ve been on thanks to the wonderful guidance of Maricella. Not only is her knowledge deep and Wonderfully anecdotal, she has the perfect blend of imparting information and keeping things moving and interesting. Four hours with her absolutely flew by. On top of that she is an absolutely delightful woman that we were very happy to spend half a day with. Communication and setting up the tour was excellent as was meeting us on the day. I have already passed her name on friends of ours who will be visiting in the coming months and know that they will be well taken care of with her as their guide.![]()

Wow. Maricela is WOW. We have had a lot of great guides during our travels, but Maricela was by far the best. She was so knowledgeable and engaging. Best of all, with very little input from us, she put together an incredible itinerary which allowed us to see an authentic Mexico City. We spent 2 and a half days with Maricela touring the National Museum of Anthropology, San Angel, Xochimilco, the art at the UNAM, historic centre, and Roma Norte. We are looking forward to coming back to Mexico City so that we can see and learn more about Mexico City from Maricela.![]()

Everything was perfect and smooth. Maricela brought Mexico City to life for us. Her knowledge is incredible and her ability to share information and answer questions made the experience so much fun and interesting. Her communication skills are top notch! She is a pleasure to speak to and spend time with. We truly enjoyed our day when with Maricela and would tour with her again next time we visit Mexico City!![]()

Maricela is wonderful. She gave our family of four a tour of Chapultepec Castle and the Museum of Anthropology. She is an encyclopedia of knowledge, and her enthusiasm is infectious. She does an especially good job of sharing the history so that you have the context to appreciate what you are seeing. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend Maricela.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 243 reviews
