Thinking of going to Mexico City.
Can you recommend a tour guide “based” on your experience?
EDITED: I was thinking of a single person guide. Small group tour might be an option.

Are you looking for a group tour or a private guide? Road Scholars has a group tour (small numbers) that visits Mexico City. Several forum members have taken the tour and really enjoyed it. https://www.roadscholar.org/find-an-adventure?countries=Mexico
Here's a link to my Trip Report from February. Days 1 and 3 list tours we used.

I hope you love Mexico City as much as we did.
When we were in the Mexico City area we used Esteban Barrera. He is a driver only, not a guide, but has good knowledge of tourist sights.

Oskar Maldonado is a charming young man and an excellent guide. A Mexico City native, he speaks English fluently and is among the best guides I have met. Here's a website listing:

I hope this is helpful. Mexico City is a wonderful place and I hope your visit is a terrific one.

Public transport is fine, especially the double decker metrobus that serves the major sights. Very easy with a metrocard.
Uber is also available.
Mexico City is not difficult or intimidating, if that’s why you are looking for a guide. People are different but I find information from a guidebook or 2 more informative and meaningful than a guided anything.

I just be want a guide to walk us around and point out things we would otherwise miss
Not a tour guide per se, but we took the "Mexico 101" food tour with Eat Like a Local and it was fantastic!
