Overview

Great cities are great conversations, and this place has a million stories to tell. My name is Francisco, and I'll be your host. I'm a writer, photographer, and foodie who has traveled over 500 cities around the world. I've lived and worked as a guide in Tokio, Barcelona, Berlin, Amsterdam, and the Middle East. For the past 11 years, though, Mexico City's Historic Center has been my home.

In this private walking tour, you'll embark on an immersive journey guided by a celebrated local writer. Choose a real storyteller to tell you this city's history. Whether you're an art enthusiast, aztec aficionado, or simply a curious traveler, this tour will leave you with a deeper appreciation for Mexico City's soul.

  • 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 hrs private walking tour.
  • Gain a unique perspective on the city's culture and history through the eyes of an awarded poet.
