Alternative Historic Center Tour: Murals, Legends and Underground Sites.

Explore the lesser-known side of the Historic Center and discover the Mexica city that lies beneath our feet. We’ll explore areas far from the traditional tourist routes, admire impressive religious architecture, and see murals by Diego Rivera and Siqueiros, while discovering myths, legends, and ghost stories that are part of the city’s collective memory. We’ll also talk about some of Mexico’s darkest stories: corruption, crime, and the people who left their mark on its streets. We’ll also discover the heart of Jewish life in Mexico City and learn how different communities have built their own history within the Historic Center.

How does a Free Tour work?

A Free Tour has no fixed price. At the end of the tour, you decide how much to pay based on your experience, your budget, and what you consider fair for the guide’s work. The customary contribution internationally is between €10 and €20 per person. In Mexico, we suggest a minimum contribution of $250 MXN per person. Keep in mind that guides do not receive a salary for these tours and that we also have to cover the commissions charged by the platforms that make them possible. Your contribution allows us to continue doing our work and offering high-quality tours.
