Overview of your Mexico city tour:

Join me on this must-see tour of Mexico City, where we'll delve into the rich tapestry of Hispanic and Aztec culture. I'll share my passion for the architectural treasures and intangible heritage of New Spain, as well as the traditions, beliefs, and ruins of the magnificent Aztec civilization. Gathering at the iconic Palace of Fine Arts, we'll discuss Mexican architecture and culture. As we walk through historic streets, I'll point out to colonial treasures, share about the transformation of Mexico over the centuries and provide insights into contemporary life. We'll explore the enduring Spanish traditions among Mexicans, the impact of the anti-religious wars, and significant landmarks like the Constitution Square ("Zocalo") and the Aztec ruins of the Templo Mayor. Along the way, I'll provide vital tips for navigating the city, safe routes, pointing out places to avoid (tourist traps). We'll also uncover legends and hidden stories inside the Metropolitan Cathedral.
