Affiliate Disclosure

This directory gathers pay what you want walking tours and free places across Mexico City in one place. Every walk listed belongs to an independent local guide, and readers reserve through GuruWalk or freetour.com at no extra cost.

How This Site Earns

When a reader reserves a walk through a link on this site, GuruWalk or freetour.com may pay this site a commission. The walk stays pay what you want and nothing extra is charged to the reader. This site is not affiliated with either platform beyond that commission arrangement. Most walks here run on GuruWalk; the Chapultepec Castle and Lake, Downtown Secrets Walk and Santa María la Ribera Alternative tours are listed on freetour.com. The commission never changes what a guide receives from the group.

What You Pay

The walks are pay what you want. That is the price: there is no fixed fee, and readers decide what to give the guide at the end. Some walks carry extra costs that are bought separately. The taco and street food walks, the cable car walk, and the Anthropology and Coyoacán walks in Spanish involve food, transport or museum entry that participants pay for themselves. Guiding on those walks is still pay what you want. The Spanish only walks run in Spanish.

Who Runs The Walks

Every walk belongs to an independent local guide. This site operates no tours, books nothing and runs no groups; it only lists them. Reservations and questions go through the guide's GuruWalk page, or through the freetour.com listing for the Chapultepec Castle and Lake, Downtown Secrets Walk and Santa María la Ribera Alternative tours. Payment to a guide happens on the walk itself, never through this site. Each guide sets their own meeting point, such as Plaza de la Constitución, Zócalo for several Centro Histórico walks.

What This Site Does Not Do

This site takes no bookings, holds no payment details and sells nothing itself. There are no accounts, no forms and no checkout. Analytics are limited to a standard page view tool and anonymised server logs. The directory does not claim to cover every free tour in Mexico City; it lists the walks gathered here so readers can compare and choose. Questions about the listings can go to info@freethingstodoinmexicocity.com. Anything about a specific walk, from meeting point changes to group size, is answered by the guide on GuruWalk or freetour.com.
