Mexico City Break

Day 1 - Welcome to Mexico

Once you arrive at the Mexico City International Airport you will be transferred to a hotel located downtown. Since there are no scheduled activities in the afternoon, you can enjoy a walk in the area. We can book you one of the many epic restaurants or you can freestyle and eat all of the tacos and tostadas the markets have to offer.

Day 2 - Mexico City Tour

A Mexico City Tour will help you acclimatise. Some sites to visit are the National Palace, Zocalo Square, Metropolitan Cathedral, the Anthropology Museum (which presents the country’s many pre-Hispanic civilisations: Toltecs – Zapotecs) and the world famous Guadalupe Shrine.

Day 3 - Casa Azul

Today you will visit Casa Azul (The Blue House). Here you can see Frida Kahlo, Mexico’s most famous artist’s home that she shared with her husband the muralist Diego Rivera. Now a museum you can imagine their life here whilst admiring earthenware cooking pots on display within the cobalt-colour walls. After visiting Frida’s home and immersing yourself in the Coyoacan district in Mexico City’s south, walking through squares and streets where she lived and stopping for a bite to eat or a cerveza is a magical experience.

Later you’ll visit  the Xochimilco canals, “the Venice of Mexico,” on one of it’s its colourful trajineras (tourist boats), eating Mexican food and being serenaded by mariachi bands!

Day 4 - Teotihuacan

Today we will depart to the Archeological site of Teotihuacan where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the area from the top of the pyramids (or a hot air balloon if that takes your fancy!) and spend the afternoon exploring the city.

Mexico has a world renowned cuisine, so later you can explore the city further; as you take a food tour!  Later you’ll have the opportunity to purchase souvenirs to take home with you.

Day 5 - Home

Today you will return home with many memories and stories. If you have a late flight you have the opportunity to take a food tour.

Depending on what time your flight is you can visit the once run-down, central district of Plaza Carso and two fabulous museums: the Jumex (housing the art of the family that owns Mexico’s eponymous fruit-juice empire) and the Soumaya, which displays 5,000 pieces from Carlos Slim, the second richest man on earth, Slim’s own collection.
