The free and pay-what-you-want walking tours in Mexico City listed here from GuruWalk and freetour.com, in English or Spanish: 24 walks, 24 of them with a full page on this site. This is not every walk on either platform: listings that state no language, or run in other languages, are left out. 1 listing has no published rating and shows "Too few reviews for a score yet".
Nothing came back for those filters. Clear one or try a different district and the walks return.
Nearly every walk here lives on GuruWalk, with the remainder on freetour.com. Independent local guides lead them all on a pay-what-you-want basis, and this site operates none of them and holds no affiliation with GuruWalk. You book on the guide's own page and pay nothing ahead of time.

How Pay What You Want Tours Work
Every walk listed here is free to reserve through the guide's own listing on GuruWalk or freetour.com. The guiding itself carries no fixed charge. At the end of the walk, each participant gives the guide whatever amount they choose and that gratuity is the guide's pay. No amount is printed on this page because none exists: the price of guiding is set by the walker, not by the guide or the platform. Walks marked with an additional cost, such as taco tours or the cable car walk, involve food, rides or museum entry bought separately at their own rates.
Walks That Run In Spanish
Some walks here run only in Spanish. On GuruWalk these are Coyoacán Neighborhood and Frida Kahlo by Kactus, the Walking Tour of the National Museum of Anthropology by Alondra Lizette, and Free Tour Reforma & Chapultepec: Empire, Glory and Modernity by Free Tour Europe. Martelbi's Free Tour the secrets of ancient Mexico: Tenochtitlan runs in Spanish and Italian. On the two museum walks, entry to the Museo Nacional de Antropología and the Frida Kahlo museum is bought separately. Most other walks in this directory run in both English and Spanish.
Questions About Joining A Free Walk
Does Joining A Walk Cost Anything?
No. Guiding on every walk listed here is pay what you want. There is no fixed fee to join or to reserve. Some walks carry extra costs stated on their listings, such as food on the taco tours, the cable car ride, or museum entry on the Spanish language museum walks. Those items are bought separately and never through this site.
Where Do I Reserve A Place?
Reservations go through the guide's own listing. Follow a walk's link to GuruWalk, or to the freetour.com listing for Chapultepec Castle and Lake, Downtown Secrets Walk and Santa María la Ribera Alternative. This directory operates no tours and takes no bookings, so every reservation, question about availability and change of plan happens on the platform with the guide directly.
What Do I Give The Guide At The End?
A tip, in the amount you decide. Pay what you want means the guide receives a gratuity from each walker at the end and nothing is collected in advance. No suggested or typical amount is stated here, because the platforms and guides set no fixed figure. For walks with food, cable car or museum extras, those costs are paid at the venues themselves.
