Walk through Mexico City’s Roma neighborhood with a local guide such as Alex, learning about murals, artists, neighborhood life, cafes, galleries, and shops. The 2 to 2.5-hour route covers Roma Norte and Roma Sur, with a garden stop and optional food or drink purchases.
“Alex was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide and brought Mexico City and Roma to life for us. We learned a lot about the artists, some of the history of the Roma area and how street artists work together to make the city memorable and thrive, not just for the artists but the local commercants and folks who call this their home... We definitely would recommend Alex as a tour guide and would definitely use him again for future tours of different areas of street art...”
