I recommend - It is an excellent option to visit locations within the greater CdMx.

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.

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.
