Tour description

Mexico City is a jewel nestled in a majestic valley surrounded by mountains.

And it is precisely here, in the heart of the city, where we will take our tour 🙂.

This walk is designed for you to enjoy to the fullest, therefore, the number of walkers is small, we will have time to take photos, answer questions and walk at a leisurely pace in a fun and friendly environment 🫂.

We will begin the tour 👣 in the Zócalo of the capital, discovering the legend that brought the Aztecs here after traveling for more than 200 years.

We will see the impressive ruins of the Aztec-Mexica ceremonial center and the windows that allow us to look out and marvel at what was one of the most important cities in Mesoamerica.

As we walk, we will take a leap back in time ⏲️ to delve into the colonial era and learn the story behind each building in the historic center.

We'll discover how one city was built on top of another, tell legends, visit places that shaped the country's history, and much more!! 😃

We will end our tour at the Alameda Central, the quintessential meeting point for Mexicans.

I'll give you recommendations on places you can visit, what to eat and where, where you can walk safely, and how to use public transportation.

Join me on this journey where you'll learn while having fun!! 😀
