Mexico City Free Tour: The Most Comprehensive Tour

Explore Mexico City’s Historic Center with a historian or artist who has more than four years of experience leading city tours.

We’ll start near the Alameda Central and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, then head into the historic heart of the city. We’ll pass by the iconic Plaza Manuel Tolsá, the Plaza de Santo Domingo, and some of the murals by Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, two of the leading figures in 20th-century Mexican art (except on Tuesdays, when the site is closed).

During the tour, we’ll discuss Mexico-Tenochtitlan, the colonial era, and the development of modern Mexico. We’ll also visit the ruins of the ancient Templo Mayor (pedestrian zone) and discover how, quite literally, different eras of the city coexist within just a few streets.

And to wrap things up, we’ll arrive next to the Metropolitan Cathedral, just a few steps from Mexico City’s Zócalo.

A tour designed for those who want to get to know the city, understand its history, and enjoy it in good company. Because learning history can be fun, too.
