Overview

We will visit the most important buildings and places that define the History and Architecture of Downtown Mexico City, which, until the late XIXth Century, used to be the entire town. It sounds crazy but, in the same district. we will find such different buildings of many eras and styles: mexica, barroco novohispano, neoclassicism, eclecticism/porfiriano, art nouveau, art déco/streamline and, of course, the muralist movement, that merged architecture and painting together. We might bump into some characters like griffins, gargoyles, serpents, snakes, eagles and even mermaids who have lots of things to say about what Mexico City is.

Meeting points

Our meeting point is at Torre Latinoamericana

End point

Open in Google Maps

We are going to finish our experience at the main suquare of Mexico City, Zócalo.

Fantastic tour.

Published on Oct, 2024

Excellent tour, guide is very knowledgeable and kind. The tour was very in depth and we felt very comfortable, learned a lot, and saw a lot. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in the local architecture!

Fascinating!

Published on Aug, 2024

Wow! What an amazing walking tour with a spectacular guide! Raul is passionate about the shape and form of Mexico’s history, and his enthusiastic presentation was eye-opening and informative - a wonderful, enriching experience. Muchas gracias, Raul!

Fantastic Tour!!

Published on Aug, 2024

Raul was amazing in so many ways! He communicated with us prior to our tour and was most gracious with waiting for us due to our going to the wrong meeting location. His tour explains so much of the history and architecture of Mexico City. We had been to a few of the locations before but didn’t know the history or background of them. His tour will explain all. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to know and see more of this amazing city!

Amazing Architecture tour!

Published on Jun, 2024

If you look for an enriching, entertaining tour through space and time in the historic center of Mexiko City, definitely go for it. Raúl is super knowledgeable and kind - we did a lot of tours with architectural focus already, this was definitely one of the best.

An immersive introduction to a fascinating city!

Published on May, 2024

Few tours truly deserve the attribute of being eye-opening, but this tour certainly does. With Raúl as your guide, you will be able to lift the veil off the chaotic and somewhat overwhelming place that is Centro Histórico and see not just the area, but the whole of CDMX from a new unique perspective. Thanks to the carefully chosen places on the tour, each of them impressive in a different way, Raúl will help you unpack the many fascinating layers of history that all meet and clash with each other in the city and particularly in Centro Histórico. What is even better, is that through his captivating and passionate storytelling, he will make you discover the connections between the city’s history, its people and its architecture - so much so that even days later, exploring the city, I was able to make observations on the cityscape and architecture I would have never been able to do without this tour. I have rarely taken a tour that was able to achieve such an impact. It thus goes without saying that I can highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to truly understand CDMX and the people it is shaped by - you won’t get a better introduction to this fascinating city than through Raúl. I am very glad I have taken this tour.
