What You Will Do
​
Beginning at its very heart, we will stroll past all of its central top landmarks while sharing its history, culture, growth and development in the last 7 centuries.
In a metropolitan area with over 20 million people, depending on how far you want to keep counting; this megacity boosts a plethora of attractions that is impossible to get to know and visit in a lifetime.
From Aztec ruins to modern edifications, from tragedies of war to the glory of Olympic Games, from humble crops to a world class cuisine, from great open spaces to hidden corners, it will be my pleasure to introduce you to my hometown and to show you its worldwide influence.
Our job is to build a magical experience to personally show you the reaches and magnificence of its size and heritage, while making your imagination go wild as you come to grips with all of the possibilities available locally.
Founded in 1325 AD (almost 700 years ago), much older than Tokyo, Nairobi or New York, and similar to some European capitals like Amsterdam, Mexico City is a historical icon, a cultural beacon and a megacity to be reckoned with.
Many visitors get stuck without grasping the real magnitude of the city. While we never leave its Historic Center; as newcomers, you will be explained the composition of the whole city.
Where You Will Be
We will be in the Historic Center of Mexico City, a UN World Heritage Site by itself, host to another one, a UN Memory Site and to more than two UNESCO Intangible World Heritages.
Along the route, we will introduce you to 1 Great Aztec Temple, 1 Cathedral, 8 palaces, the city’s 3 largest plazas, 3 churches, the Spanish Inquisition, 1 central park, 5 former convents, scores of museums, 4 theaters and much more while learning the size of town and its sites.
