Full description

Enjoy a full-day guided tour of Mexico City’s most enchanting neighborhoods. Cruise along the Aztec-era Xochimilco canals, explore the colonial district, and admire the murals in the UNAM.

Departing from Downtown Mexico City, head south, passing the most important sites of the modern city. Stop off at a local cooperative shop that helps the Mexican local artisans.

The next stop is University City, where you can admire the many murals at the Rectory, and wander around the main campus' Central Library. The campus also includes an impressive volcano-shaped, 63,000-seat Olympic Stadium.

Head to the eye-catching Xochimilco and board a trajinera - a colorful, gondola-like boat - for a ride through the neighborhood’s famous canals. As you indulge in local treats and try your hand at bartering, your guide will share the incredible details of what makes this area a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Next, visit the colonial district of Coyoacan and admire the rambling 16th-century houses of Francisco Sosa Street. As you wander its tree-lined streets, you’ll learn how this city has played a part in historical empires like the Aztec and Spanish to becoming a cultural capital and home to Octavio Paz, Leon Trotsky, Diego Rivera, and Frida Kahlo. At Casa Azul, Kahlo’s home and now museum, we’ll immerse ourselves in the trailblazing life of one of Mexico’s most original artists.

Mexico is known the world over for its living history and the breathtaking art of renowned artists, like Frida Kahlo, whose impact is still felt today. Visit the Frida Kahlo's Museum called "La Casa Azul". Housed in the striking cobalt blue house where she was born and returned for the last years of her life, the Casa Azul. See a large assortment of pre-Hispanic artifacts, Mexican folk art, and indigenous jewelry from her personal collection.

Enjoy a day full of Aztec history, Mexican art, and delicious flavors that combines some of the Mexico City's must sees in one tour.

Simon, Salvador & Christian looked after us well and we had a really good balance and pace on the tour. Lighthearted, informative and their passion for Mexico and Mexico City was clear to see. Enjoyed every stop and lunch. Was solo on the tour and appreciated that they checked I was o the coach after each stop. Thanks for a great tour!

A good way to get a load of sights done in one day without too much travel faff in between. Our trip was provided by amigo tours and Ruben and Yair were great guides: really enthusiastic and knowledgable. There were some highlights like the Xochimilco trip whereas others felt a little like a chance to squeeze money out of the group. Lunch was fine (not as bad as some of the reviews suggest), but is definitely the pricier end of food in CDMX. All in all for the price I’d say it’s a good choice for a whistle stop tour of areas of the city that would take time and effort to get to individually. And the guides really brought things to life
