Welcome to Mexico City! After exiting customs, you'll be met by a representative holding a sign with your name on it who will bring you to your private driver.

Ciudad de México is the capital and largest city of Mexico. Located in the Valley of Mexico, it is one of the most populous and culturally vibrant cities in the world. The city's history dates back to pre-Columbian times when it was originally known as Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire. It was founded in 1325 on an island in Lake Texcoco. In 1521, Spanish conquistadors led by Hernán Cortés captured the city and subsequently built colonial structures on top of the Aztec ruins.
Today, Mexico City has an estimated population of over 21 million people in the metropolitan area. The city's population density is one of the highest globally. The city is rich in cultural heritage and offers a wide range of attractions. It is home to numerous museums, art galleries, historical sites, and iconic landmarks. Some of the must-visit places include the Zócalo (main square), National Palace, Metropolitan Cathedral, and Chapultepec Park, which is one of the largest urban parks in the world. Mexican cuisine is world-renowned, and Mexico City is a gastronomic delight with a vast array of traditional dishes and street food offerings.
Today, you'll hit the ground running and dive head first into the artistry of Mexico. You'll be picked up at your hotel lobby by your expert, bilingual guide and head out to discover the best representation of Mexican design through Mexico City's top artisans.
Curated by your local guide and Design 4 Corners interior designer, you will visit exclusive studios, workshops, and showrooms. Learn about the process behind the creation of various pieces, meet recognized and emerging designers, and purchase stunning pieces for your home.

Enjoy the gastronomic delights of Mexico by sampling three of its most famous exports: tacos, mezcal, and beer. Visit four traditional taco stands (known locally as taquerías) on a night-time tour of some of Mexico City’s most famous neighborhoods: San Rafael, Anzures, Roma, and Condesa. Try different taco styles, from the world-famous al pastor to regional delicacies, and wash them down with a refreshing beer or two. Then, accompanied by a mezcal master, a mezcalillero, you will savor the smoky, sweet, and herbal flavors of mezcales. Learn about the cultural and gastronomic heritage of this delicious pre-Hispanic spirit, while visiting La Botica, Mexico City’s first mezcal bar.
Includes: Roundtrip transfers, taco sampling at four locations, bilingual guide, bottled water, soft drinks, and mezcal tasting and gratuities.
Duration: 3 hours
Explore Mexico City’s southern neighborhoods that feel like small villages despite being part of the big city. Your personal guide will lead you in a full-day exploration of the tree-lined streets of San Angel and Coyoacán. Walk the footsteps of some of Mexico’s most revered artists and writers, including a visit to Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul – a blue house where Mexican painter Frida Kahlo was born and later died, now a museum dedicated to her life. If time allows you will also have a chance to visit the Museum of Dolores Olmedo, a 16th century building with a cohesive collection of fine arts from Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, as well as hundreds of pre-Hispanic figurines and sculptures.
This is a full day tour and lasts 5-6 hours.
