CDMX
Join us for a family friendly adventure in Mexico City
Mexico City has been my favorite city since the very first time I visited.
Usually I am one to prefer smaller towns with a tangible soul... I dislike the anonymity of Capital cities... however that all changed when I discovered CDMX!
Long pedestrianized, tree lined pathways, plenty of green space, amazing food, culture everywhere and exceptionally kid friendly.
I am excited to show our guests the many faces of the city in this well balanced itinerary which ensures that the activities are fun for both adults and kids alike.
Be prepared to do some walking. This city is best taken in on foot. It's also famous for traffic so when we need to get across the city we will be taking the metro!
All ages welcome but be aware that strollers can be tough to navigate the metro and some streets are cobbled. That said all of us with older children will be happy to help!

Day 1
Mexico City
Welcome!
Accommodation
Room typeTwo Queen Beds
We will be staying in a hotel close to the Parque Espana in La Condesa. As with all my Retreats - breakfast is included at the hotel. It will be a smaller - boutique style hotel and everyone will have a private bathroom.
This area is great as there's a huge park with a playground for kids, a play area for balls etc and plenty of walking trails through the park. You'll be spoiled for choice on where to eat - from Street food to Sushi, Tacos to Thai curry... this area has it all!
We will not be including airport transportation purely because Uber is SOO efficient and there is no waiting time allowed at the airport so organizing someone to get you is very tricky. Uber picks up from right in front of arrivals and each door has a huge number so you can tell them which door you're at. The cost is about USD 10-15 to get into the City.

Day 2
Settle in
Chapultepec Park
Fun for Everyone
After a delicious breakfast we will head to Chapultepec Park where there are many options for things to do. Today is Easter Sunday so the City will be at it's most quiet and calm and many things will be closed... but the park is always open!
Depending on the ages of the children joining us we will either head to Papalotes (the Childrens Museum) or we will go to the Zoo. There is also the option to take out the peddle boats on the lake. Maybe we can do it all!
We will make sure all the children are dressed for the occasion (monkey hats!)

We will head to Teotihuacan pyramids on this full day tour. Our guide will tell us all about the history as we explore this incredible historical area. This is the largest and one of the most important sites for the Aztec Empire.
Lunch will be enjoyed in a cave restaurant after which we will be visiting the Basilica of Guadalupe.

Day 4
Street Food Tour
Coyoacan
Enjoy Food with a Local Chef
Time9am
Today we will head to Coyoacan (the home of Frida Kahlo) where we will experience a Street Food Tour curated by a local chef.
From Tacos, Barbacoa, Cheeses and sweet treats - we will enjoy walking the cobbled streets, enjoy the art and feast til we are full.
We will spend a little time in this area before heading back to Condesa.
I will endeavor to get us tickets for Frida Kahlo museum but they are notoriously hard to attain. I will be writing to them to secure a group booking however I am not adding it to our itinerary in case it's not possible. I will be doing my best!

Today is yours to enjoy as you choose. There is so much to do in the City but don't worry - We've got plenty of suggestions and a map link with lots of ideas. Go wild and explore or stay back and relax... the parks are on your doorstep so there's entertainment for the children a few steps away.

A Private Tour for all the Family

Our Trajinera will take us to an ecological conservation farm where an activity has been planned for the children. We will explore the farm, picking some items which we will then have for lunch before heading back via the boat.
You'll have the option to explore the area a little more before we head back to our hotel.
