Enkidu Magazine 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.
The
Enkidu Survival Kit for Gay Travellers

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.
