Historical Tour of Mexico

The first destination of the tour is the Zocalo, where you will find historically significant buildings, such as the Cathedral and the National Palace. Stand witness to the grandeur of the iconic 5 De Mayo Street, which is left untouched in memory of the historic battle against the French settlers. The Casa De Los Aulejos, one of Spain’s most beautiful, jewel-shaped buildings, is also located on this street.

Next, head to Palacio Bellas Artes, one of Mexico’s biggest cultural centers and art galleries. Whether you are looking for regional varieties of art or an iconic performance of opera, you can find it all here!

Food Tour of Mexico

Wander through the local food markets and experiment with 6 flavors of Mexican tacos and some house-made tequila to whet your appetite. The stalls of Mercado de San Juan are truly a sight for sore eyes with their collection of exotic meat, vegetables, fruits, and homemade delicacies. This market is proof of the global influences harbored by the city.

The final stop of the tour is Mercado de Ciudadela, a handicraft exhibition right at the center of the city. If you want to pick up a few souvenirs, this 350-stall exhibition is an opportunity you must not miss.
