Happy travelers with TourMate

who are we?

TourMate Mexico was born out of a simple frustration: the tours we kept seeing didn't meet the standard that travelers actually deserved.

Old, uncomfortable vehicles without air conditioning. Fake "Guides" making up historical facts on the spot. Groups being rushed through incredible sites because the operator had three more tours lined up. Travelers who had saved up and flown across the world being treated like just a number.

We knew there had to be a better way. So we built it.

TourMate Mexico was designed from the ground up to be different, certified guides who genuinely know their stuff, comfortable and modern vehicles, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and tours that go at your pace. No rushing, no cutting corners, no surprises.

And we don't just run set tours. If you have something specific in mind, a custom itinerary, a unique combination of places, a special experience, we'll make it happen. You dream it, we build it around you!

We've had the privilege of hosting more than 3,000+ travelers from around the world, and we still get that same feeling every time someone leaves with a huge smile. That's why we do this.

INCLUDED WITH EVERY BOOKING

Every Booking Includes Our Restaurant Guide 🍴

Take the guesswork out of where to eat in Mexico City. Upon confirming your tour, you’ll receive our curated insider dining guide, featuring everything from traditional neighborhood taquerias and local street food stalls to mid-range and high-end restaurants.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Why book direct instead of through Viator or TripAdvisor?

Booking platforms such as Viator and TripAdvisor add commissions on top of the final price. TourMate Mexico is the local operator, so booking direct removes that markup and you pay the operator price for the same guide and the same private vehicle.

Can you pick us up at the airport?

Yes. We do airport pickups, transfers, and hotel pickup anywhere in Mexico City. For pickups outside the city, please contact us.

Is hotel pickup included and can the itinerary be customized?

Yes! Because every tour is private, the itinerary and pace can be fully tailored to your group. You can select our full-service experience, which features convenient hotel pickup and drop-off anywhere in Mexico City, or simply opt for the tour without transportation.

How far in advance should I book?

Since we run a limited number of private tours per day, early booking is highly recommended. Popular dates like Día de Muertos or Christmas sell out weeks or months in advance, while 3 to 7 days is usually enough for regular dates. Traveling soon? We welcome last-minute bookings whenever we have availability, so don't hesitate to check with us!

THREE WAYS TO BOOK A PRIVATE TOUR IN MEXICO CITY

What actually changes is who takes care of you before, during and after the tour.

With a local operator you get one team that answers you directly, plans your itinerary with you, and assigns another certified guide if yours gets sick. Booking platforms route you through intermediaries and slow refunds and trying to reserve with a guide is one person replying between tours with limited solutions.

TourMate Mexico was a great find for my family! TourMate was highly rated online and they lived up to the rating. They picked us up on time, in a clean and safe car, and took us on a fantastic tour of the pyramids and Our Lady of Guadalupe, complete with a fantastic lunch in a cave. No gimmicks or hidden costs and our tour guide Yordi could not have been better. Super knowledgeable, friendly and I never felt like he was trying to sell me anything. Just a great day overall and I would highly recommend these guys!

We had a great experience with Tourmate and Ernesto as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the pyramids and the history of the region we call Mexico today. He was also a great guy and made us feel like we had VIP treatment. He also provided advice on other aspects of our trip to include helpful advice regarding driving in Mexico. 100% recommend and will use Tourmate and request Ernesto again!

Lawrence C., United States · TripAdvisor review

TourMate organised all our tours in Mexico City. They were simply brilliant and value for money. We went for private tours. The tour guides were highly qualified (one was a PhD in Anthropology) and spoke excellent English. The tours were brilliant and the guides took time to explain.

I organised the tours from London. Ren from tour mate was very responsive and any time of the day. Really recommend using them.
