Mexico City Tours

Mexico City is a vast metropolis that can be overwhelming to navigate, but don't worry, we're here to help! Please arrive at Mexico City one day before. Your guide and driver will greet you at your hotel lobby at the appointed pick-up time in the morning, and then you’ll have a guided walking tour starting with the Zocalo, one of the world's largest squares. Here stands the largest Cathedral in the Americas, built on the site of the former grand Aztec temple 'Teocalli'. The National Palace (Palacio Nacional), built atop the Palace of Moctezuma, features frescos painted by renowned Mexican muralist Diego Rivera and serves as the President's offices now. We'll also see the Templo Mayor (from the outside), a pre-Columbian temple in the heart of the city.

Then, head south of the city for a unique experience on a boat on the Xochimilco Lake, having lunch there and enjoying local music from a Mariachi band amidst vibrant Mexican colors and flavors.

In the afternoon, follow your guide to walk through the bohemian village of Coyoacan, where artists still reside, to visit the Frida Kahlo Museum (Blue House), the former residence of the great female painter Frida Khalo, which has been converted into a museum displaying many of Frida's personal items, as well as some of her art and personal collections. Next, discover the nearby House of Leon Trotsky, where he lived in the years before his assassination. We will drive you back to your hotel in the late afternoon.
