Hola! Welcome to Mexico. Your adventure starts in Mexico City with a welcome meeting at 10 am this morning. After your meeting, join your local leader on a private guided tour of Mexico City’s historic centre. Visit the Zocalo, Templo Mayor, the Metropolitan Cathedral and the grand Palacio de Bellas Artes and learn about the layers of history that shaped the Mexican capital. After, sit down to a pulque tasting, where you’ll sample both traditional and flavored versions of this ancient, fermented agave drink, paired with local snacks. Then, head to El Califa de Leon – a Michelin-starred taqueria serving expertly grilled tacos that elevate street food to fine dining. In the afternoon, wander through the Mercado de Artesanias La Ciudadela – a bustling market packed with handicrafts from across the country. Tonight, head out for dinner at the historic Cafe de Tacuba – a century-old restaurant known for its ambiance and traditional dishes. Your leader will share the restaurant’s legacy and suggest specialties to try.

Today, you’ll explore the Teotihuacan Archaeological Sites on a daytrip with your leader. Walk along the Avenue of the Dead, explore the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon and hear the stories behind this ancient Mesoamerican city. For lunch, you’ll visit a local family’s home and see how people live outside Mexico City. Here, you’ll taste some real flavours of typical Mexican kitchens and be served by the family members. You’ll return to the city in the late afternoon to enjoy some free time. Maybe find a local restaurant for dinner – your leader will have the best recommendations.

Today you’ll visit the Chapultepec Park and Castle. Perched on a hill above the city, the castle offers amazing panoramic views. Next, travel south to Coyoacan, where you’ll stop at the Coyoacan Market and try traditional dishes like quesadillas, blue corn tlacoyos or pozole (stew). In the afternoon, join a walking tour of Jardin Centenario, Plaza Hidalgo and the San Juan Bautista Church, then, stop for a churro and hot chocolate. After, visit the Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo House-Studio Museum in San Angel, which offers a deeper look into the life and work of Mexico’s most iconic artist couple.

After breakfast, join our tour leader on a walking tour through Roma Norte and la Condesa, two of the city’s most stylish and culturally rich neighbourhoods. Discover hidden murals, tree-lined boulevards, historic architecture and the OMR Gallery and hear the stories behind these artistic enclaves. Finish with a lunch at a local mezcaleria. After you will return to the hotel and your journey will come to an end.
