Overview of your Mexico City tour

Mexico City downtown has a lot of stories and secrets to share, every street and corner here hides something that we'll discover. Lovers, heists, floods, treasures, heirs and more. Surrounded by an incredible atmosphere, full of unique heritage from different times. From the Aztec temples to the XX-century functional architecture. Which gives shape and life to the throbbing heart of the best-known as "The City of Palaces". I think this place, means a lot to everyone in this country, in this city. It is Mexico's heart definitely. For better or worse, every happening has gathered the whole country here. Many uses and traditions had appeared through its streets and the people who had lived here. Since I was a kid, I remember coming here and experiencing the cultural display, that only downtown has, flavours, colours, music, a contrast between all the people from all races and countries. The downtown makes no distinction everyone is welcome here, because it's the place where all roads end.

Julio was a fun guy. He knows the city really well, and he did a great job communicating, and adapting to our preferences. I would definitely recommend him and his tours.

We had a wonderful birthday! Julio was very flexible in adjusting the itinerary on short notice and starting the tour at the Modern Art Museum. Both my wife and daughter are big fans of art, especially Frida Kahlo and Remedios Varo—and so is Julio! It made the whole experience super enjoyable to explore the museum with him. After that, we went to visit the famous Zócalo, where Julio guided us perfectly throughout the entire tour. Thank you, Julio! We had a fantastic day and a very happy birthday.

Thank you Julio for the wonderful tour you provided for myself and my daughter of Mexico City’s downtown centre. You are very knowledgeable in the city’s history, architecture and art. A highlight for me was a tour of the public library. A very grand building and your personal stories of your time spent studying there made the visit that much more interesting! We also enjoyed our shopping experience with you and very much appreciated being guided through the grand market in the main plaza! We really had a fun day!
