Enkidu provides gay and lesbian visitors to Mexico an excellent and individual guiding service by our multilingual guides, focusing on the particular interests and needs of the gay and lesbian traveler. Our goal is to facilitate your integration into the Mexican culture and the Mexican gay and lesbian community during your stay. Our guides provide general information about local history, culture and archeology as well as tourist information, maps and a crash course in how to get around in the word's biggest concentration of human life. In addition our guides will provide you with information about gay Mexico City and show you the bars, clubs, restaurants, and gay and lesbian venues. Regardless if you come to Mexico alone, with your partner, boyfriend or a group of friends, our guides will make your stay unforgettable, show you around and be pleased to advise on where to go, where not to go, where to eat, where to dance, what to do, what not to do, what's in... If contacted in advance, we can also assist you in making hotel reservations in gay friendly hotels or tickets to exhibitions, theater, shows, concerts etc. If you are coming to Mexico City for business meetings, conferences, or research and need an interpreter, our personal guides will be at your disposal and accompany as your personal interpreter if you so desire.

Enkidu's personal traveller guides are carefully selected. All have university degrees in relevant fields (humanities, social sciences, languages etc.) and speak several languages. Guides for most Western European languages can be provided on short notice. All our guides have in depth knowledge about Mexico, the city and the country, history, culture, politics, society and experience in communicating and sharing their knowledge with others. Among our Mexican and European guides in Mexico City, we have individuals with experience from science, politics, community activism, teaching, and cultural work on high levels. Our guides are never simply "tourist guides", but dedicated, enthusiastic and knowledgable individuals, experts in their fields, with a desire to share and communicate their vision of Mexico, its cultures and this confusing, diverse and many-facetted society with you in their own individual way. Most importantly though: All our personal guides are openly Gay or Lesbian, and experienced travellers themselves, aware of the specific needs and interests of GBLT-travellers.    

All programs, trips and tours organised by the Enkidu Guides will be personalized in accordance with your preferences and individual interests. The guides will make you feel as much more than a "tourist". We guarantee you an eye-opening stay with an Enkidu Personal Guide.

Explore Mexico City with an Enkidu Personal Guide (Day Rate)

A 24 h guide means basically that you have an opportunity for relaxed and flexible city exploration at your own pace and according to your own interests and priorities without any fixed schedules. If you, after a day of sightseeing, want the guide to show you the city's nightlife, perhaps take you to a late night concert, he will do so, if you want the guide to show you where to get a meal at 4 o clock in the morning, he will do so. 

 

It does not mean that the guide will spend 24 hours with you (unless YOU want the sightseeing to last that long), but rather that nobody looks at the clock as long as you are exploring the city together. If you want to know where to get the best breakfast in town next morning or where to mail your postcards before you leave, the guide will still be available if you need him. Our guides give you a personal insider view of the city. We want to give you the kind of experience you might have when you come to a new foreign city and suddenly discover that you have a multilingual gay cousin or former class mate living there, who has unlimited time for you and can show you around in the city more or less like such a person would have done, without schedules and a fixed program.
