Highlights

This private, guided tour includes round-trip transportation for you. This experience will provide you with a pleasant atmosphere in the main urban forest park of Mexico City, Chapultepec. Since its beginnings it has been considered a "Sacred Hill" by our pre-Hispanic ancestors. On the tour you can find incredible places to take photos or videos and thus preserve the moments. In addition to this, you can buy souvenirs at the street stalls and you will realize that there is a lot of life within Chapultepec. Inside the Castle you will be surprised by the beautiful views it has from the viewpoints towards the lake or towards Mexico City and if you pay attention you can even see your hotel from the Castle. You will walk where the viceroys' carriages used to pass, and you will know where they held their conferences or simply where they slept. And even better you will get to know the majestic gardens built for these ancient leaders of our Mexican history.

About Mexico City

Mexico City is a vast, high-altitude capital built over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, rich in museums, murals, markets and outstanding food.

The Zócalo, one of the largest squares in the world, is framed by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, where Diego Rivera's murals tell the story of Mexico. Beside them, the excavated Templo Mayor reveals the heart of the Aztec capital, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, with its marble exterior and Art Deco interior, stands a short walk west.
