Great option to rediscover the CDMX - Excellent option to know the mysteries that keeps the center of Mexico City on every corner and in every corner, you like cinema a lot or little.

One in a million! - Excellent tour for those who love cinema! They take you to various locations, show you the scenes that were filmed there and tell you various interesting facts. Directed by someone who belongs to the film industry 🙌🏼
It makes you see cinema and the City from another perspective.
Cherry on the cake: the vibe is super good and friendly ⭐️

Excellent experience, rediscovering CDMX - Have you ever wondered about the history of the buildings that we sometimes pass by unnoticed? I think my photography is very, very descriptive about that. The Fru Fru theater now stands as an old building, and those of us who did not have the opportunity to see it in its glory could see it as a building in ruins. Entering has been a great experience, because within its walls there are still many years of history and tradition. And so we were also able to see that many streets of our beloved city also hide many details and history that deserve a second look. The work they do at The Film Tours Mexico is precisely that: discover the past, show it and leave you amazed and wanting to know more and more. It is an enriching and vibrant experience that I will surely repeat to cover many and many more details of this beautiful city.

The CDMX Historical Center, a great filmic location - Transporting yourself to the moments where great artists have filmed , right in the places that are being toured during a lively and revealing tour, becomes an experiential and sobering time capsule, where we can revalue our Chilango city environment. Great experience and lots of learning. Fun is guaranteed!

A great experience - We loved the tour, we saw and visited spaces that although one always goes through, we had never observed in detail or remembered that they were part of many films. We learned a lot each explanation and images that complemented the tour.
We had a great time, it was a new experience and the time went very fast. I highly recommend it!

Re-discovering the Zocalo through cinema - The experience is enjoyed from start to finish, and the time flies definitely recommend going with comfortable shoes, cap, blocker and water. But whether you’re getting to know the city and you live in CDMX you’ll discover and learn a lot of stories and anecdotes from the streets of the cinema’s hand plinth.
Besides, whether you are super cinema-phile or not, the guide is so passionate about the subject and knows so much about the subject that in the end you end up in love with everything he tells you and end up learning many things
