    Knows her history

    "Mabel is very personable. She takes your interests and needs into consideration. I need to rest a lot. Mabel made sure to find me seats while giving a fountain of information. She has a vast knowledge of the history of Mexico going back to pre aztec times. She is a fountain of knowledge about local sites to see while you are visiting. "

    "Our family was lucky to spend a wondering day touring fascinating Mexico City with Tania. Her love for her city was obvious and her knowledge was impressive and so interesting. The best part was that at the end of the day, we felt like she was a part of our family. It was a true, authentic Mexican experience. Thank you, Tania, for sharing your Mexico with us! "

    Great tour with Victor

    "Our group of 6 toured the Coyoacan neighborhood with Victor last Saturday. It was our first time in Mexico City and his suggestion to see this very cool and historic neighborhood. We loved the tour and thought he was awesome. I've been on many private tours that were loaded -- no overloaded -- with facts and historical data and info. But real storytelling and real insight into culture and vibe and what makes a place special and unique often goes missing. That's not the case with Victor. He was so real and relatable and gave us wonderful insight into what it was like to grow up and live in Mexico City and as an artist himself, what this unique part of the city really means to him and to others. Victor is a lovely human and was so much fun to be with. We really enjoyed him and were so happy with the tour. "

    Mexico City Through a Local’s Eyes

    "You can really tell how much Laos loves his city - it came through in every part of the tour! He was an excellent guide, taking us to the key historical and cultural sites around Centro while sharing his incredible knowledge, local insights, and plenty of fun facts about Mexico City. What we especially appreciated was how personalized the experience felt. This wasn’t your typical walking tour - Laos tailored it to our interests and needs, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’d highly recommend Laos and Withlocals to anyone visiting Mexico City. Thank you, Laos, for such a memorable tour!"

    Perfect in every way

    "Nalleli provides a tour unlike any other - perfectly tailored to our individual preferences. We were short on time and she graciously met us very early for a beautiful tour of centro historico, informed by her love of history, art and archaeology. We learned so much that would have been impossible on our own or in a group. Nalleli clearly loves the city and the opportunity to share it with new friends. We are grateful to have spent an unforgettable morning with Nalleli. "

Authentic Mezcal Tasting in Mexico City

Dive into the smoky heart of Mexico with an unforgettable Mezcal Tasting experience! Let a local guide in Mexico City show you the secrets of this legendary spirit. A private Mezcal Tasting is the perfect way to connect with true Mexican culture.

  • The Ancient History of Mezcal Tasting

    Mezcal is more than a drink; it's a centuries-old tradition. Long before the Spanish arrived, indigenous communities in Mexico were creating this sacred spirit from the agave plant for rituals and ceremonies. A Mezcal Tasting connects you to this deep, vibrant history.

  • Mezcal Tasting: A Sip of Mexican Culture

    In Mexico, mezcal is all about connection. It's shared among friends and family during celebrations, meals, and quiet moments. Participating in a Mezcal Tasting is an invitation to experience this warm, communal aspect of Mexican culture firsthand.

  • Sip it, Don't Shoot it: A Local's Guide

    Forget what you know about shots! The best way to enjoy a Mezcal Tasting is to sip it slowly, savoring the complex flavors. Locals often enjoy it with orange slices and worm salt (sal de gusano), enhancing the spirit's earthy notes. Let a local show you how.

  • The Magic of Agave in Your Mezcal Tasting

    Did you know over 30 types of agave can be used to make mezcal? Each one offers a unique taste profile, from the popular Espadín to the wild Tobalá. A Mezcal Tasting tour will open your eyes to the incredible diversity of this amazing plant.

  • Mezcal vs. Tequila: Unravel the Mystery

    All tequila is a type of mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila! The key differences lie in the type of agave used and mezcal's signature smoky flavor, which comes from roasting the agave hearts in underground pits. Discover the nuances on your Mezcal Tasting tour.
