Led by passionate local guides, this tour it’s about understanding Mexico City, from its pre-Hispanic roots to its present-day energy. Learn about legendary figures, uncover fascinating local traditions, and get expert tips on where to eat, what to see, and how to experience the city without looking like a lost gringo.
With hidden gems, must-see landmarks, engaging storytelling, and a few laughs along the way, this is the perfect way to start your adventure in Mexico’s capital! You'll get a crash course in what makes this city tick (and why it never seems to sleep).
No tour is complete without a little time travel. Along the way, you'll hear tales of presidents, artists, and larger-than-life characters, learn the secrets of spotting the best tacos without falling into a tourist trap, and discover photogenic hidden corners.
