Tour description

Join our small-group free history & food tour to discover the historical, cultural, and gastronomic heritage of the UNESCO-listed Historic Center of Mexico City. 

Meet your local guide at a starting point and go to explore the Historic Center of Mexico City seeing its most iconic landmarks and learning about events and personalities behind them. Home to impressive architectural landmarks, dating from as far back as Aztec times, this part of the city is literally the country’s political, historical, and cultural heart that carefully preserves over 500 years of Mexican history. Centered around the massive Zocalo square, the largest one in Latin America, the area draws both visitors and residents of the city to its numerous museums and iconic monuments like elegant Palacio de Bellas Artes, immense National Palace, or imposing Metropolitan Cathedral. Street food vendors and simple taquerias coexist in harmony with high-end restaurants and cafes, along the bustling pedestrian-only Madero Avenue and nearby streets.

Come on and let's explore the city together!

Highlights

  • Get impressed by the marvelous UNESCO-listed architecture.
  • See imposing Metropolitan Cathedral – the largest on the continent.
  • Spot remnants of stunning Aztec structures hidden among colonial buildings.
  • Learn cultural and historical highlights of the Mexican capital.
  • Try some of the most typical Mexican dishes and drinks on your way.

We had a fantastic time with Ernesto on our tour! He is a wealth of information and a true historian. It was a holiday in CDMX and they had most of our tour locations blocked off but Ernesto still managed to make the tour fun and interesting. He also took us to some delicious taco shops that we would have never known otherwise. Thanks, Ernesto!

What an amazing blend of food and history . Right in the center of the historic downtown area of Mexico City . Our tour guide Adriana took us to great locations , a lot of rooftops , great information and delicious food ! Pro tip do not eat breakfast, maybe just a bottle of water but that’s all you need ! If you are able to book with Adriana I would highly recommend her .
