Arkitektur og historie i Mexico City - Små grupper
Beskrivelse
Vi vil besøge de vigtigste bygninger og steder, der definerer historien og arkitekturen i Downtown Mexico City, som indtil slutningen af det 19. århundrede plejede at være hele byen. Det lyder skørt, men i samme distrikt. vi vil finde så forskellige bygninger af mange epoker og stilarter: mexica, barroco novohispano, neoklassicisme, eklekticisme/porfiriano, art nouveau, art déco/streamline og selvfølgelig den muralistiske bevægelse, der fusionerede arkitektur og maleri sammen. Vi støder måske ind i nogle karakterer som griffiner, gargoyler, slanger, slanger, ørne og endda havfruer, der har mange ting at sige om, hvad Mexico City er.

Highly recommended tour! Raul was an excellent guide. I appreciated the rich architectural and urban planning insights, and historical facts behind growth of Mexico City.
Raul was excellent! His tour does an excellent job at orienting you to the history of the city. He is warm, knowledgeable, and engaging. Highly recommend.
Very in depth exploration of Mexican architecture. Raul covered the historical impact upon Mexican architecture in the center of Mexico City
Raul was fantastic. We did this on our first day, as our first activity, in Mexico City. He’s extremely thorough and insightful, and gave us a great foundation of background info on both pre and post Spanish Mexico. I feel so much better primed for my trip to the anthropology museum because of it. Price was extremely good for the information and experience it got. Definitely recommend this to anyone going to ciudad de Mexico
Raul was absolutely phenomenal! 🙌 This tour through downtown Mexico City was one of the most enriching and enjoyable experiences we’ve had, and Raul was the reason it all came to life. His passion for the city’s history and architecture was infectious, and the way he wove together centuries of cultural evolution—from Mexica foundations to Art Deco flourishes—was nothing short of masterful. We were amazed by how much we learned. Raul didn’t just point out buildings—he told the stories behind them, connecting styles and eras with vivid detail and thoughtful commentary. His insights into the muralist movement and the symbolism of mythical creatures like griffins and mermaids added a layer of magic to the walk. Every stop felt like a portal into another chapter of Mexico City's identity. If you’re looking for a guide who’s not only deeply knowledgeable but also engaging, warm, and genuinely invested in your experience, Raul is your guy. We left the tour feeling inspired, informed, and completely in awe of the city’s rich tapestry. Highly recommend!
Raul is a terrific storyteller of the long history of Mexico City utilizing its architecture to tell its story. It is engrossing and fun. Highly recommend.
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!
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!
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!
