Discover the Bella Época Cultural Centre, located in the Condesa neighbourhood. A hidden gem for many people. This cultural space was remodelled by one of the most influential architects in our country. It includes the Rosario Castellanos Bookshop, one of the largest in Latin America with more than 35,000 titles, as well as the Lido Cinema and the Luis Cardoza y Aragón Gallery, an important venue for the promotion of culture and for critical discussion and dialogue on various artistic disciplines, including cinema.

Here we can breathe in a healthy, family-friendly atmosphere where locals and tourists alike enjoy coming to stroll and enjoy nature in the middle of the city.

We will take you to one of our favourite places in Roma, a space in the city that has been rescued by environmentalists and converted into an urban garden and green lung. With projects focusing on ecology, environmental education, permaculture, bio-architecture, agriculture, sustainability and the knowledge of indigenous peoples. A true green gem in Roma.
We will pass by one of the most emblematic buildings in early 20th-century Rome. A former market converted into an incredible hotel with designer shops, restaurants, taquerías, home of the famous tacos del Valle, and Café de nadie, one of North America's most renowned bars for its intellectual atmosphere

Laila was such a warm and welcoming guide! We spent a long afternoon with her walking and getting to learn about Roma and Condesa, including some really cool local spots focused on art and culture. She also brought us to specific spots that matched our interests, which were so cool! We got some local treats at a market, grabbed a delicious coffee, and even met some friendly strangers at the places we stopped at. Gracias Laila!
I was an amazing experience getting two know these 2 iconic Mexico City neighborhoods. We had a wonderful tour experience.
It was an incredible and passionate experience. After today, I already want to go back to Mexico. Totally outside the traditional tourist circuit. Unique places❤️❤️❤️
Booked through our hotel and enjoyed it immensely! Such a beautiful and historic area with pretty hotels and restaurants along leafy boulevards with pedestrian paths and parks with fountains and dog parks. Great cafes with live music. Watch the movie, Roma, before you visit!
Laila was a fantastic, engaging, and knowledgeable guide who clearly loves her neighborhood. She made stops based on my interests and followed up with personalized recommendations the following day. She took me places I would have never known to stop into but expanded my view and appreciation for this area greatly.
Laila offers an excellent tour of Roma/Condesa and is a charming person! The night before, Laila checked in and welcomed us to Mexico City. She was very kind asking about our language preference. Some of us in the group are practicing Spanish, so she alternated between both languages, which was great. She was also very patient and went at the speed/pace we needed, since we had two children and my elderly mother-in-law. She stopped when we needed to. She provided great historical knowledge of the neighborhood. Because we had children, she planned to stop at the park and we had a pleasant walk. She also stopped at both popular spots and hidden gems. We stopped for a cinnamon treat (included in the tour) and it was nice to sit and chat and learn about the history of the churro. She was so flexible and able to pivot without stress. Our daughter was scratched by a cat at the hidden gems and she was able to ask for immediate help to disinfect the cut. Everything was fine. When we finished, she provided a detailed list of recommendations for restaurants, cafes, markets, etc. She offered other useful tips while traveling in CDMX. We also needed vegan options and she took the time to write a list for us. It was an incredible experience with an incredible person.
Our guide Laila was fantastic she showed us all the best local spots and was incredibly kind and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend to anyone
Francisco was really great. A very authentic and passionate guide. He was thorough in explaining the culture and different places to me. He also is a great photographer and took some great pics of me as I was a solo traveler.
Laila is amazing. She explains everything with a lot of passion; I highly recommend her. It was a pleasant experience
A lovely way to explore and learn about Roma and Condesa. Jorge was an excellent tour guide - very knowledgeable, and able to communicate in an interesting way on so many aspects - history, architecture, activities, cafes, restaurants, music ... thank you for a great experience Jorge!
