What To Expect

Plaza Romita (Pass By)

The oldest Catholic church built in the Americas, the Santa Maria de la Natividad de Aztacalco can be found at Plaza Romita. It dates back to 1530. This was one of the first places that Catholic priests baptized indigenous Mexicans and was also known as the church of the "good hanging". It was a place where convicted criminals would come to pray for a quick and painless hanging.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
