Mexico City: Xochimilco, Coyoacan & Univercity City Guided Tour

Embark on a half-day tour of Mexico City’s best attractions. Along the way, you will pass by the World Trade Center, the Siqueiros Cultural Polyforum, the Plaza de Toros Mexico, which is the city’s biggest bullring, as well as the Insurgentes Theater with its mosaic mural of Diego Rivera’s Cantinflas.

At the Ciudad Universitaria, admire the beautiful mosaic murals by Juan O´Gorman, that represented three historical facets of the Mexican culture: the pre-Hispanic era, the Spanish colonial era, and the modern age. You will also get to see Mexico’s Olympic stadium inside the campus. This is where the 1968 Summer Olympics were held! Follow your guide and visit the residential area of Pedregal de San Angel, built on lava fields. Continue onwards to the peaceful waters of Xochimilco, also called the Venice of Mexico. Enjoy a relaxing journey on these ancient waters on a traditional trajinera or Aztec boat and see the many floating gardens along the way!

Finally, you will visit the impressive colonial district of Coyoacan. Stroll through Francisco Sosa Street to the town’s main square, and marvel at the stately 16th-century houses on the way. Visit the impressive mansion of Spanish Conquistador Hernando Cortes and the Church of St. John the Baptist, and take a look at the magnificent paintings and altarpieces here.
