Overview

Discover the living history of Mexico City on a guided tour of its most emblematic monuments and corners. We will walk through the heart of the largest and most diverse capital of America, exploring its most fascinating stages: the splendor of Tenochtitlan, the viceregal era, the reforms of the nineteenth century, the dictatorships of the twentieth century, and the construction of the modern city.

We will not only see buildings but also scenarios where stories of power, faith, tragedy, art, and resistance were woven. We will visit the ruins of the Templo Mayor, the Viceroyal Palace, the majestic Metropolitan Cathedral, the Stone Lion that marks a forgotten tragedy, the Casa Profesa, the Casa de los Azulejos, the Palacio de Minería, the monument to Carlos IV, the Palacio de Bellas Artes and many other spaces that reveal the soul of the city.

In addition, we will show you hidden places that do not usually appear in tourist guides. History, architecture, and daily life are intertwined at every step. All with the historical rigor you need to know.
