If you’re looking to add a bit of glamour and personalized flair to your Mexico City adventure, a private photoshoot might be just what you need. From what we’ve gathered, this experience promises a one-hour session with a professional photographer at three carefully chosen locations around the city. While we haven’t tried it ourselves, the concept sounds like a fantastic way to turn your sightseeing into a memorable photoshoot—especially if you love sharing stylish, high-quality pics on Instagram or just want some keepsakes of your trip.
What really appeals to us about this experience is its personalized approach—you get to choose three spots that speak to your style or hold special meaning for you. Plus, with semi-professional editing included, you’re walking away with polished photos that highlight your personality. On the flip side, the main thing to keep in mind is that the quality of the photos might vary depending on your photographer, as some reviews suggest.

What to Expect from Your Mexico City Photoshoot

This experience is designed to turn an ordinary day of sightseeing into a glamorous photo adventure. You’ll have a personal photographer guiding you through three locations, each selected for their style, scenery, or cultural vibe. Since the meeting point is in Roma Norte, a vibrant neighborhood full of colorful walls, trendy cafes, and lively streets, it’s a great starting point for a stylish photo session. The activity ends back at the same spot, so you don’t need to worry about transportation logistics once you’ve started.

Expect the photographer to direct you around, helping you strike natural, flattering poses. After the shoot, you’ll receive 15 semi-professionally edited photos—a selection that’s curated to showcase your best moments.

The Locations
While the tour description mentions selecting three “exciting” sites, it doesn’t specify exactly where these might be. Given the starting point in Roma Norte, your photographer might suggest places nearby that are known for their style and photo appeal, like murals, historic architecture, or lively streets. This flexibility allows you to tailor the session to your interests, whether that’s urban art, colonial facades, or modern cityscapes.
The Photographer
The key to a good photoshoot is a friendly, adaptable photographer. According to reviews, the photographer in this experience was appreciated for being friendly and flexible. Communication was easy, and scheduling wasn’t an issue for most. However, one review mentioned disappointment with the quality of photos, indicating that the skill level might vary.
The Photos
The 15 photos come with semi-professional editing. That means your images will be polished but not overly retouched. They are perfect for sharing on social media or printing as keepsakes. Keep in mind, though, that the overall quality is subjective, and some travelers felt the photos could have been better.
Is It Worth the Price?

At around $89.14 per person, this experience offers a private, personalized photoshoot in one of the world’s most photogenic cities. When you consider you’re getting a dedicated photographer for an hour plus edited images, it’s a fair deal—especially if you value capturing your trip in a stylish way.
Many travelers find this to be good value for money, especially since it’s a private tour. You won’t be sharing the spotlight with a big group, which means more attention and better shots tailored to you.
