Highlights

Itinerary

Polanco Neighborhood is a truly opulent and luxurious neighborhood. Join us from the comfort of your home and discover this upscale, trendy, and elegant area, founded as a hacienda back in the 18th century. Located north of the enormous Chapultepec Park, today Polanco is known as the city’s financial, business, and commercial center and home to some of the country’s richest families. Take in the area’s impressive architecture, opulent hotels, high-end boutiques, and fancy restaurants while your friendly, expert guide shares the history of how this area grew up. Hint: it started in the 1940s when a thriving middle class eager to flee the crowded center began flocking here. What resulted is a thriving neighborhood that’s also characterized by its cultural diversity and inhabited by people of Spanish, Ashkenazi Jew, and Lebanese descent, among others. Come explore elegant Polanco with us!

Excellent and fun guide We had an excellent experience and I would highly recommend doing the private experience and request the guide Silvia if you can! Silvia was amazing, prompt and she had a precise communication. Her English was impeccable which made the tour really easy to understand. She had useful information and resources and also made it fun. We had a great day!

Una de las mejores compañías, para realizar tour personalizados y prediseñados, no se pierdan la oportunidad, recomienda 100% sobre todo para solo extranjeros.

simplesmente incrível! essa viagem foi muito programada e estimada, portanto diversas expectativas foram criadas… no entanto todas elas foram superadas! A guia, Júlia foi maravilhosa em seu trabalho, nos guiando e até mesmo alterando o roteiro para cumpri meus desejos. Tudo foi incrível, em nada diferiria.

Best Tour Guide and Driver! Our tour guide was Silvia and we adored her! She taught us so much and answered every random question we had. Her English was impeccable and she could not have been friendlier! Our driver, Ulises, was a safe driver and also very happy and friendly. Worth every peso!!

Amazing tour! I went as a solo traveller and really enjoyed this tour. I learnt about the history and enjoyed some amazing food (even as a vegetarian). The tour guide was lovely and very knowledgeable.
