If you want to unblock the true Mexican experience come walk with us through our history, peculiarities, complexities, gastronomy and local recommendations!

In this tour we will guide you through the Downtown area (Centro) of Mexico City, where you’ll visit some of the most iconic landmarks of our country but most importantly, you’ll hear the stories of our past and present, of what makes Mexican culture this surrealist experience that fascinates people from all over the world.

As a starting point for exploring CDMX and its surroundings, this tour works perfectly since we’ll also give you all the suggestions of what not to miss, where to shop, what to eat-drink, where to travel next and how to make the most of your trip. So be sure to ask these chilangas (born in CDMX) all the questions you might have 🙂

We prefer to be honest, instead of offering a free walking tour that’s not really “free” because tourists are expected to give large tips & we also prefer to be dedicated and always give our customers our 100% regardless of how much $ you give us.

Itinerary

We will meet at 10:30 AM outside of hotel "Circulo Mexicano". You'll recognize us, your guides, because we'll be wearing the traditional "tocado" of flowers on the top of our heads, just like Frida Kahlo used to wear.

We'll visit several historical sites crucial to understanding our culture and society, where we'll tell you all about the Aztec empire, the colonization and independence, the Mexican Revolution, Muralism, earthquakes and the modern era.

A visit to Mexico without trying authentic Mexican food is like no visit at all. We'll walk by some places to eat that we recommend, but most importantly, we'll give you tips of where and what to eat, based on your preferences and your budget.

Here we'll end the tour, so as to invite you to visit the Palacio de Bellas Artes with it's wonderful murals, exhibitions and interior design in the style of Art Decó and Art Nouveau.
Or to explore the nearby Mercado de San Juan with it's exotic foods and the café with great aerial views of Bellas Artes.
