Chilango heart,
expat soul.
¡Hola! We are Masha and Diego, a Mexican by heart and a Mexican by birth. We met years ago in the city and bonded over our shared entrepreneurial spirit.
With so many visitors landing in Mexico City for the World Cup, we kept talking about how much we wanted them to live the same incredible moments we share here with our friends. That is how Unfold was born.
So we put together our favorite places, our favorite people and our favorite restaurants. We collaborate with them directly, so you get to experience our beloved city like a local.
Between the two of us, we speak English, Spanish, Dutch, French and Russian — so whichever language your group is most comfortable in, we've got you covered.
"Our friends already get this treatment. Now you do too."
Speak a little chilango.
A few words you'll hear all weekend. Now you'll know what they mean.
