See the National Palace (Palacio Nacional), home to murals by famed painter Diego Rivera; the Templo Mayor, a 13th-century Aztec temple; and the Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), a 16th-century colonial landmark.

Good tour but ……

Jo_P, Apr 2026

Not bad tour. Needs better communication. Initially was supposed to pick us up from hotel. No communication as to what time for pick up. In the end we had to take expensive hotel taxi to meeting point. The guide, Sergei was good but decided to change itinerary at Anthropologie museum from 2 to 1 section.

We have a group of 6 people, 4 speak Spanish and we speak English. Our tour guide, Bobby was great in explaining things in both languages. He was very clear and made things very interesting. We had a great time.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Raji_K, Nov 2024

Pickup was close to 45 min late. Ended up a private tour. Guide was not very fluent in English and did not appear very knowledgeable - maybe also due to language issues. So a 5 hr tour ended in 4.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Dear Rajeswari Kalambur, For us, your opinion is the most important thing. We regret the experience you had with our service. Our guide, Ricardo, is an excellent guide who has been working with us for several years, and this is the first time this situation has been reported to us. We will investigate what happened. To avoid any inconvenience in the future, thank you.

Great experience, bad timing

Jorge_G, Dec 2021

Don´t miss the visit to the Archaeological Museum with impresive historical pieces and samples, the best was Gabriela the museum guide, ask for her.

Response from Host, Dec 2021
