A memorable introduction to Mexico City’s history and culture
Our walking tour of Mexico City’s historic Centro with Joss gave us a wonderful introduction to the cultures that shaped this place through time. Our guide’s background as an historian and her passion for her city brought different eras to life as we visited sites and buildings that represented their time. We received a solid foundation on the history of Mexico City, as well as delightful surprise visits to places like the Grand Hotel with its extraordinaryTiffany glass ceiling. In addition, we were able to customize the tour to include personal priorities like a a visit to Diego Rivera’s stunning mural series inside the Ministry of Education. High value day, and a legacy of extraordinary memories.

It's very worth touring with Joss.
Joss was a spectacular guide, she passionately explained every detail of Mexican history and towns. The tour was private and I was able to talk to her and ask her many questions. Joss knows a lot and I recommend her to learn about the anthropology of the native peoples.

Delightful tour!
This tour is perfect for people interested in the history, culture and traditions of Xochilmilco as well as the present day lifestyle of those who live and work in these canals. Our guide was knowledgeable and very pleasant and she was responsive to our interests for this private tour. If you want something other than what the party boats have to offer, we recommend this tour. Also the lunch was a great experience!
Operator response
Thanks for your recommendation and for the details about the different experience at Xochimilco. And yes, the food is great! 😃
