Overview

Get ready for a time-traveling adventure full of surprises! We’ll start our journey exploring the fascinating Aztec history at the Templo Mayor and continue through cultural gems like the Colegio Nacional, the Zócalo, the National Palace, and the majestic Cathedral. Then, we’ll indulge in traditional Mexican sweets at Dulcería Celaya and marvel at the elegance of the Casa de Los Azulejos and the stunning Palacio de Bellas Artes.

But that’s not all: during our walk, we’ll uncover the authentic flavors of Mexico City. You’ll know the best place for tacos al pastor, pozole, and Mexican coffee in the city's most delightful spots.

This will be an unforgettable experience, where you’ll explore Mexico through its cuisine, history, and culture, guided by passionate locals who love their city like no one else. I promise you’ll understand why Mexico is truly a magnificent country!
