Reisroute
We beginnen met inschrijvingen en introducties.
We lopen achter de Metropolitan Cathedral om de Chapel of the Souls te zien waar de leringen tegen ketterij (andere religies) worden weergegeven op een uitkijkpunt van waaruit we de koloniale architectuur kunnen waarderen die is ontworpen "om de Joden weg te houden", opgelegd door de Spaanse Inquisitie.
We bezoeken de belangrijkste handelsmarkt uit de 16e tot de 19e eeuw, waar ondergedoken Joden hun koopwaar moesten komen verhandelen terwijl ze werden gadegeslagen vanuit het Paleis van de Inquisitie. In het paleis ontcijferen we de antisemitische verborgen boodschappen, evenals die op de Santo Domingo-kerk aan het beginpunt van El Camino Real, een veilige haven voor joodse reizende handelaren van die tijd.
We komen langs het administratiegebouw van de Inquisitie en hun woonruimte, vlak naast de Eeuwige Gevangenis, waar Joden werden gemarteld en ter dood veroordeeld.
We zullen van buitenaf de plaats zien waar Diego Rivera (van Sefardische afkomst) Frida Kahlo (van Asjkenazische afkomst) ontmoette, om te leren hoe de Mexicaanse antifascistische beweging de annulering van de eerste en enige antisemitische nationale conventie ooit ondersteunde en de opvang als vluchteling van Lev Davidovich Bronstein (alias Leon Trotski).
Op Plaza Loreto passeren we de eerste speciaal gebouwde synagoge, de Sefardische berg Sinaï, in Mexico, en de naburige, de eerste Asjkenazische, Nidjei Israël, waar de ervaring eindigt.
We bezoeken de ontmantelde en eerste Ashkenazim shul in Mexico.

Enjoyed this walking tour learning about historical buildings and architecture along with history of Jewish immigration and integration into México, however fact checking is advisable as number of discrepancies were present in factual history. I also sensed a bias against US and some personal political views expressed by Carlos that were not appropriate in this context of historical tour. He was considerate of his group abilities and allowed for questions. Glad I did this tour, but would not take all information at face value, also note that it can run over 3 hrs, ours was 3.5 hrs., so be prepared.
This was the most comprehensive, educational, and engaging tour we have ever taken. Carlos has been leading this particular tour for 17 years and has been guiding for even longer. He is exceptionally proud of his heritage and is a wealth of knowledge on everything from the ancient development of Mexico City, its Jewish history, its rich art culture, and the political structure. We learned about both the Safadi and Ashkenazi Jewish diasporas to the City and how the Jewish culture evolved over 5 centuries. We also the Diego Rivera murals and even learned of the Jewish symbolism portrayed in a couple of them. That was an added bonus for us. This tour was an excellent introduction for us on our first day in the City, and laid the foundation for everything else we saw in the subsequent days of our visit. Get to know Carlos as well. His story is fascinating.
Tour company canceled trip due to protest in the Zocalo. Wouldn’t refund only credit. How is that helpful if we weren’t going to be in Mexico City to use the credit and are not planning to come back. They are hiding behind the small print credit or refund. Don’t use them deceptive policy.
Our walking tour with Carlos was the highlight of our visit to Mexico City. Carlos is a walking historian; we learned so much. This is a MUST DO activity in Mexico City.
We were comfortable with his repeated, anti-American comments. Some of the history that he tells is his interpretation but stated as fact.
I am very surprised that my historical and current statements of the factual mistreatment of Mexico by your country, not interpretation but facts, from 1845 to date, made you write that you were 'comfortable' with them but reviewed the experience with 2 stars. This shows incongruence and disconnection right from the top. By calling my comments anti-American you are also showing that you believe that any criticism spoken was or is made to affect you. This is very far from the truth. I have never been against any country, especially the U.S.A., whose nationality should be called U.S. American, because by stating just American, you can be confused with many other countries, between Canada and Argentina. All of the history shared has its own sources. They all have been proven as facts. It has been my principle for the last 25 years to only share facts. Please let me know what you believe are not facts to be able to prove otherwise, because if I pride of something, it is of sharing nothing but facts. You may have even thought that when I explained that everything that I share are facts was made up! You could have questioned me then and allowed me to back up my sayings, but you waited until now to take advantage that my hands are tied by this app and system. I just hope that this experience taught you something of good.
He does an excellent job of creating a meaningful and vivid timeline of the arrival of Jews in Mexico
This was an in depth tour of the history of the Jewish people of Mexico City. Our guide Carlos was engaging and articulate in explaining the history of the Jewish people and it was obvious that this tour had deep meaning to him. I highly recommend this tour.
We were most impressed with Carlos’ knowledge of the history of his country and the history of the Jews in his country. It was quite a history lesson from a proud Mexican. So many fascinating facts that we had never learned before. We came to a new appreciation of the Mexican people and their history.
This was a very mediocre tour. The guide was mediocre, the places visited were few, and the overall appreciation was " meh".
We're very sorry that you did not like our experience. We are very sorry that we cannot take any positive input and make any changes due to your limited language versus the very ample and rich language of those praising our services in large numbers.
Our extremely knowledgeable and entertaining guide walked and talked us through the history of Jews in Mexico City from the Spanish Inquisition to the present. On the way we visited the Templo Mayor, Cathedral, a museum of murals and the restored Sephardic synogogue.
