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.
