CDMX must-sees
A truly unforgettable experience.
We toured the charming colonial streets of Mexico guided by Jorge, an excellent storyteller and knowledgeable about history. With his passion and knowledge he took us on a journey that went beyond time, immersing us in a world of legends and myths where the real and the dreamlike intertwine.
If you are looking to discover the historic center at night from a magical and deeply cultural perspective, this experience is the right one. 100% recommended.

A super interesting and fun experience with our guide Jorge
I really enjoyed the experience with Jorge. He is a very kind man and narrates the stories very well, the night became very pleasant because he immerses you in his legends and anecdotes. It is very worth going on the tour with him.

A must do!
I seriously can't recognize this highly enough! This isn't a ghost tour, to be clear, though Jorge does tell you one at the end (if you want) that's a bit chilling.
This is a great mix of stories: some facts, some legends -- all of which he's researched thoroughly on his own. And maybe because of that, it's just so clear that he loves the material. Plus, he's a born storyteller.
And the price is great -- especially for a private tour. Honestly, when I booked the tour, the price was so low that I thought I had to be misunderstanding "private." So I showed up expecting a group, but no, it was just my friend and myself.
Also great is that he's happy to stop and give you a little time to take pictures or to duck into a cathedral he's just told you a cool story about.
Plus, having it at night was great. Not just for the ambience, but because most museums/tourist spots close at 5 p.m. here. Since most tours are in the day, you generally have to choose between doing that and ticking off a museum, a palace, etc.
With this tour, you can go somewhere to take in the sights, leave at 5, grab a bite to eat (or take in Centro Historico in general), then meet Jorge at Bellas Artes without rushing.
Seriously, don't hesitate -- buy the tickets!
