About this activity

Tired of always taking you to the same places?

The center of Mexico City hides many historical, archaeological and artistic treasures that few tours take you to know.

On this tour we will be able to see that city that you do live, where we leave the comfortable area to go for sale on the street, where we all go to eat, shop, walk and among all this, among all this everyday we will find wonderful and unique places. All behind the tourist mainstream.

All accompanied by an archaeologist with the mission of making you fall in love with the CDMX

Yes, I promise you it will fascinate you!
