Before you book

Mondays
Templo Mayor is closed on Mondays. It opens Tuesday to Sunday, 09:00 to 17:00. On a Monday we spend longer in the cathedral and at Bellas Artes.
Early start
On the 07:00 start the centre is quiet and Templo Mayor is not yet open, so we see the Zócalo and Bellas Artes first and go in after 09:00.
Best for
A first look at the city, or a short day before a flight.
Start time
Starts at 07:00 or 13:00, every day. Every tour is customisable: a different start time, extra stops, more time where you like it, or a longer day. Tell us when you book.
Language
Guided in English. Other languages on request, if we have notice.
Cancellation
Free up to 24 hours before, refunded in full.
