Mexico Welcomes Fernwayer Launch Bringing Exclusive Insider Access to Mexico City’s Rich History and Vibrant Art Scene

Published on May 30, 2025

Mexico is embracing a new era of premium travel experiences with the launch of Fernwayer, a specialized platform offering curated, insider-led tours that delve deep into the heart of Mexico City’s rich historical and artistic legacy. By partnering with local experts and cultural practitioners, Fernwayer provides travelers with exclusive access to hidden gems, immersive workshops, and storytelling experiences that go far beyond conventional sightseeing, marking a bold step in redefining luxury travel in one of the world’s most culturally vibrant cities.

Fernwayer, a specialized travel platform focused on premium curated experiences, has officially launched its services in Mexico, beginning with exclusive offerings in Mexico City. These private tours are crafted by local experts deeply connected to the city, ensuring that travelers receive authentic, insider perspectives. Each journey provides guests with a distinctive and personal exploration of Mexico City’s rich history and vibrant artistic culture.

“Mexico City is one of the most layered and creative places on the planet,” says Vinitaa Jayson, Fernwayer’s co-founder. “Every time I visit, I’m reminded how much gets overlooked by surface-level travel. We see the pyramids, but often miss how Teotihuacan’s geometry has shaped urban planning. We eat tacos, but don’t always hear the story of the corn—or how nixtamalization transforms it. We admire the murals, but rarely seek out the stories of resistance and identity behind them. Fernwayer has worked with local experts and cultural curators—historians, artists, photographers, and culinary insiders—to design experiences that reframe the familiar and spotlight what goes unseen—stories that make this city feel so alive.”

Mexico City pulses with vibrant energy and a rich Indigenous legacy that stretches back to the 14th century. Originally called Tenochtitlan, it stands today as one of North America’s most culturally significant urban centers. Fernwayer offers exclusive private tours that delve deep into the city’s rich history, diverse culinary scene, artistic heritage, and much more. Whether wandering through the colorful streets of Coyoacán alongside a local artist, uncovering the secrets of Teotihuacan with an expert in art history, or savoring authentic Mexico City flavors, these curated experiences guide visitors off the beaten path, revealing insider perspectives on the city’s past and its dynamic present.

VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS BURSTING WITH LIFE

While Mexico City’s historic downtown is famed for its stunning colonial architecture, the true essence of this area is best uncovered with a local guide.
