Historic downtown Mexico City walk with a local guide. Visit Zócalo, Templo Mayor, the Cathedral, Palacio Postal, Bellas Artes.

“This tour is a fast overview of the city. It's a great place to start if you are new in town. I thought three hours would feel like a long time but it flew by and we were walking fast!

On this tour you will only see some of the outdoor ruins. One suggestion for the tour guide is to either slow down or hold up something that can be better seen because we lost sight of her…”
