Description

The Mexico City Tour will carry you through the heart of this lovely metropolis, where history and culture come alive at every corner. So meet your guide at the starting point and let the exploration begin! We begin with a visit to the Templo Mayor, the remains of an ancient Aztec temple that once stood as the city’s spiritual center. Learn about the rituals and customs of the Aztec people and the incredible discovery of this site in the 1970s. Next, we’ll marvel at the Metropolitan Cathedral, an impressive symbol of the Spanish colonial era that took over the Aztec city. With its towering spires and intricate façade, it’s no wonder this cathedral is one of the most visited landmarks in Mexico. We’ll then make our way to the House of Tiles, a charming 18th-century mansion with a façade covered in blue and white tiles. Here, you’ll discover the fascinating history behind the Porcelain House and the role it played in the Mexican Revolution. Our journey continues to the Post Office, a splendid building that once housed the Palace of Communications during the early 20th century. From here, we’ll head to the Palace of Fine Arts, a stunning Art Nouveau and Art Deco masterpiece that showcases the best of Mexican art and culture, as it preserves incredible murals painted by prominent artists such as Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco. Experience the city’s bustling energy and rich culture as we make our way through the lively streets of downtown. From street performers to delicious food stalls, there’s never a dull moment in Mexico City. So come with us on this playful, lovely, and inspiring Mexico City Tour and immerse yourself in the city’s rich heritage and culture and have fun exploring all it has to offer!
