DEPARTURE TIME Default departure times (which can be seen when choosing a tour date) can be also adjusted upon your request. We can start the tour almost any time (when the main attractions of the tour are open) but due to traffic conditions in Mexico City, earlier departures are always preferred.

TOUR DURATION & CUSTOMIZATION The standard duration of the tour, as advertised in its description, is calculated from the moment of pick-up till drop-off. At the same time, the tour is customizable which means the time you spend in each destination can be adjusted to your needs.

If both conditions are met, we can shorten the stay at a particular location included in the program of tour so that you have time to visit the place you are interested in.

Walk around one of the most visited religious destinations in the world and famous for its cult of the Virgin of Guadalupe. There, get acquainted with the history of the miracle that supposedly happened in 1531, when the Virgin Mary appeared to a native man called Juan Diego, whose cloak has become famous throughout the centuries for preserving Her sacred image.
Walk around through the largest and most emblematic city of Latin America, declared a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO in 2007. Discover its Zocalo (main square); the remains of Templo Mayor, what was once the largest pre-Hispanic temple; Madero Avenue, one of the most emblematic streets in the city, the Palace of Fine Arts, an example of the 20th-century European cultural influence, and several of the vast museums that are part of the city's folklore. Once known as Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire, is now the “city of palaces” an architectural heritage of the Spanish conquest. The monuments, groups of buildings, or sites located at the heart of the contemporary urban agglomeration amply illustrate the origins and growth of this city that has dominated the region for many centuries.
Xochimilco, which in Nahuatl means “Field of Flowers”, is distinguished by rain canals existing since pre-Hispanic times, when the Mexico Valley was part of a large number of lakes and lagoons, almost in its entirety. Today a big part of the nature of Xochimilco prevails, combined with cultural elements of its pre-Hispanic origins, art, and colonial culture, marimba, mariachis, parties, and Trajineras (Mexican Gondolas), turning it now into one of the most attractive and interesting places in Mexico City that every visitor wishes to visit.
The name Anahuacalli means "house surrounded by water" in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs; it was designed by Mexican artist Diego Rivera to house his massive collection of pre-Hispanic art. The building is made out of the volcanic rock that is prevalent in this area which is also known as "El Pedregal" (the rocky place), due to the eruption of the Xitle volcano.
It is the main library in the Ciudad Universitaria Campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and holds one of the largest book collections in Mexico. It is a World Heritage site protected by UNESCO whose facade is covered with various murals, which were designed by Juan O'Gorman.
Coyoacán, which in Nahuatl means "place of coyotes", is now the most famous neighborhood in the south of Mexico City and has become a rich pocket of art and history since houses lots of cultural places, galleries, and spaces where artists and artisans can promote their works. Also known as the neighborhood where renowned personalities like Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, or David Alfaro Siqueiros lived and expressed their art, is the perfect place to discover more about Mexico's daily life.
Also known as "The Blue House", it is where the artist lived most of her life, initially with her family and years later, with Diego Rivera. After her death, Diego Rivera donated the home and its contents in order to turn it into a museum in Frida's honor. The museum contains a collection of artwork by Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and other artists along with the couple's Mexican folk art, and pre-Hispanic artifacts. The collection is displayed in the rooms of the house which remains much as it was in the 1950s. It is the most popular museum in Coyoacán and one of the most visited in Mexico City.
On the last day, after a private pick-up, head to Chapultepec while driving along Paseo de la Reforma, one of the most famous avenues in the city. Upon arrival at the park, climb up the hill to visit the Chapultepec Castle, one of the foremost symbols of Mexico that carefully preserves its heritage from different significant historical periods. A visit to this castle is like going back in time as it served as the official residence of Viceroys, the emperor Maximilian of Habsburg, and several Mexican presidents.
The National Museum of Anthropology contains the world's largest collection of ancient Mexican art and also has ethnographic exhibits about Mexico's present-day indigenous groups. Exhibited on two large floors, these displays show ancient human remains and art objects. Among its outstanding exhibits are the “Group of Figures” from the Olmec culture and the 22-ton Aztec “Sun Stone,” representing the history of the world.
