Mexico City
Private Day Tours, Featured and Signature Expeditions
Where Mexico's past and present meet.
Mexico City is the cultural heart of the country—a remarkable blend of ancient civilizations, colonial history, art, architecture, food, markets, museums, and contemporary Mexican life. Built on the site of the great Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, the city carries layers of history that continue to shape its neighborhoods, traditions, and everyday life.
Explore historic plazas and neighborhoods, extraordinary museums, archaeological sites, colourful markets, and some of the city's remarkable culinary traditions. Discover the stories behind Mexico's ancient and colonial heritage, meet the people who bring its culture to life, and experience a city where centuries of history exist alongside a vibrant and ever-changing present.
But Mexico City is more than a collection of historic sites and cultural attractions. It is a place to wander, taste, listen, and discover—where art, history, food, and everyday life come together in unexpected ways. And when combined with Baja California Sur or Copper Canyon, it provides another perspective on the remarkable diversity of Mexico, connecting its urban cultural heart with its deserts, mountains, seas, and remote communities.
