What to expect

  1. Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe
    2h · Admission ticket included
    The fascinating history of Our Lady of Guadalupe: You will explore the Basilica, admiring its striking modern architecture and famous dome, while learning about the deep devotion of millions of Mexicans.

    Afterward, we will take you to special, lesser-known spots such as the Capilla del Cerrito (Hilltop Chapel), where visitors can enjoy a more intimate and peaceful experience. Here, you will feel the serenity of the site as your guide shares local stories and legends that will connect you more deeply to the living history of the sanctuary. From there, you will have time to see the Tilma (the cloak of the Virgin) up close—one of the most powerful symbols of Mexican faith—and explore other areas of this iconic space.

    This tour does not just take you to a sacred site; it offers an enriching journey through Mexico’s history and traditions, all within a welcoming atmosphere filled with meaning and heritage."

Meeting and pickup

Pickup details

At the agreed meeting point. The tour has a specific start time, but the pick-up time is set earlier. Depending on city traffic, we may use public transportation (Metrobús) to reach the starting point faster. Mexico City often experiences protests and heavy traffic, so using this mode of transport makes getting around easier, as it operates in areas with less traffic congestion. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes for the tour. This alternative is used on days with chaotic traffic to safely reduce travel time."
