Mexico City is a sprawling metropolis of contrasting cultures that never ceases to amaze both locals and tourists alike. Embark on a fascinating day tour that introduces you to many of the city's most celebrated landmarks.

After a friendly driver picks you up from your hotel, make your way to Cancún International Airport for a morning flight to Mexico City. Upon arrival, begin a sightseeing tour that takes you to the city's political center, the Zócalo. See the Cathedral and the National Palace, with famous murals of Mexican artist Diego Rivera (if the palace is open), you will be able to see outside the Templo Mayor and Bellas Artes.

Throughout your experience, learn about Mexico City's rich history, including its beginning as the ancient Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. Hear about how the city's original Aztec structures and canals were destroyed after the arrival of the Spanish in 1519 and replaced with modern roads and buildings. Next, walk along Paseo de la Reforma, widely considered to be the city's most beautiful street. Admire the street's impressive number of memorials and monuments, including that of the Angel of Independence.

After your tour, discover a place called “Where men become Gods,” filled with famous pyramids of the Moon and the Quetzalcoatl. And pay a visit to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Enjoy lunch before heading back to the airport for the return trip, followed by transportation back to your hotel.
