Tour description

It is a walk with a local guide in a small group, ideal for you to discover step by step the most relevant aspects of Mexican culture.

We will begin our tour in the zócalo, the heart of the city. As we walk, I will tell you the history of the city: its foundation, the different eras it has gone through and the events that shaped it as we know it today.

We will walk leisurely through its streets full of myths and legends, we will discover the history behind each construction built in this magnificent city.

We will see ruins, museums, palaces, cathedrals, squares and many more places, which have been scenes of the historical events that marked the course of the country.

  • You will discover why this city is known as the city of Palaces.
  • You will know what dish was prepared with human meat.
  • You will learn which Mexican song is performed by international artists.


We will end our tour in Alameda Central, an excellent meeting point for Mexicans.


I will give you recommendations on places you can visit, what to eat and where, where you can walk without a problem and how to use the public transportation service.

Come with me to discover everything this city offers you!!

We had a nice tour around centro historico with Erika, but at times the information on the Aztec history (e.g. names) went too fast or without clear explanation which left us wondering. (We did have a small restless child with us so our attention was somewhat divided).
