    Amazing Tour

    Richardo was amazing! Though knowledge of the area during our walking tour. He allowed us to set our pace (whether to stay at one spot a bit longer, or quickly move on to the next landmark). Very professional and personal. Lots of hidden gems and many tips on other excursion/places to eat...Glad we did it!

    Well worth it!

    I would have only taken in the sights at a surface level and cut my exploration short had I walked around the city on my own. Ricardo took the time to explain history, art, architecture, a smaller market, and shared some of his favorite spots in the city that was very enriching. I thought there was no way I would spend 5 hours roaming the beauty of Roma and Condesa -- and while I was very sore, it was time well spent. Ricardo kept us on a well thought out path and schedule - be sure to wear very good walking shoes! Ricardo was an excellent host and I would highly recommend catching the city from a perspective you are not going to get on a bus. The weather was also amazing - best time of the year; he explained the jacaranda trees would be in full bloom in April - also a great time of year to go! I miss CDMX already.

    Highly recommended tour

    Loved my private tour with Ricardo. He is super friendly, relaxed and passionate about his country. The tour is a bit long, but having an amazing guide makes it worth it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and other tips.

    We had an amazing...

    We had an amazing experience on our walking tour with Ricardo! He took us all over Condesa and Roma Norte, making frequent stops to take photos, tell us interesting pieces of history, eat tacos and drink coffee, and even shop at a few markets. He gave us tons of insider info that can only come from a México City native (chilango), including a helpful list of recommended bars, restaurants and other attractions in the area. Highly recommend!

    Perfect Intro to Roma Norte

    A walking tour with Ricardo was the perfect way to kick off my first time in CDMX. He’s so friendly & created a great casual environment to engage and ask questions throughout the tour, which was a perfect blend of classic spots & lesser known gems around Roma Norte. HIGHLY recommend for anyone looking to get more context from a local, who weaves both a historical and modern perspective throughout the tour.

    Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.

    How much does Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.

    Is Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 87 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Mexico City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour, PREMIUM Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco (Small Groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Mexico City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Mexico City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: All Fees and Taxes; and Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour?

    +

    The meeting point is right in front of this white art deco building. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Mexico City. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Mexico City: Condesa & Roma Norte Hidden Gems Walking Tour?
