Overview

Dare to take our tour that will take us through little-known places in the Historic Center of CDMX, allowing us to travel back in time from pre-Hispanic times. Passing through a pharmacy where they prepared ancestral medicines, visiting the architectural grandeur of the beginning of the last century to the gastronomy of a bakery where the locals make that experience a tradition from generation to generation. We guarantee that in these 2 and a half hours you will experience spaces that many residents of the capital do not know exist.
Don't forget to take your photos to show off to your family and friends, places that only YOU will know in the City of Palaces or as we chilangos say: Chilangolandia, el Defectuoso, la Capirucha, etc.
