Tour description

Join our small-group free history & food tour to explore Condesa and Roma, some of the most charming neighborhoods of Mexico City.
 

Meet your guide at the starting point and go to learn about important historical events, personalities, and legends behind the most iconic landmarks of Condesa and Roma neighborhoods in Mexico City. Start in Condesa, an area that was once the home of Mexico’s biggest cinematic stars of the 1940s and ’50s. There are more trees here than in any other part of the city as well as a big number of fine restaurants, shops, and galleries. One of the gems of this part of the capital is its rich Art Deco architecture.
Take your time studying beautiful forms ambling down Amsterdam Avenue, a tree-lined street that follows the route of the city’s old horse track. Roma is the first “modern” community in the city that also has an abundance of excellent shops, restaurants, cafés, markets, and galleries. Head down Alvaro Obregon Avenue and appreciate the beauty of fountains and sculptures by talented Mexican artists.

Come on and let's explore the city together!

Highlights:

  • Explore two bohemian neighborhoods of Mexico City through a lens of a local guide.
  • Spot fancy restaurants, modern galleries, leafy parks, and gorgeous Art Deco architecture.
  • Visit several iconic gastronomic locations to try authentic tacos, churros, mezcal, and much more.
  • See examples of contemporary Mexican art that you probably would have missed on your own.
  • Discover interesting facts and useful insights into the daily life of these neighborhoods.

It was a bit chaotic because our reservation from us and another person wasn’t known. The guru came at 13:50 because he through he only had one person at his tour. The guru knows a lot but it was to slow en the information was repeated a lot. For example, the information about the subway could have been in 5 minutes. Te route of the tour itself was nice, just a bit quicker would have been nice.
