Mexico City Tours That Go Further.
Welcome to Y&D Travel
A Mexico City’s small-group tour specialists. For 8+ years, we’ve been taking curious travelers off the beaten path and into the real heart of this city. The pyramids. The canals. The art. The chaos. The beauty.
Mexico City Tours Designed for Travelers Who Actually Want to Experience It
Mexico City doesn’t do subtle. It hits you from the moment you land — the scale, the noise, the color, the 3,000 years of history stacked on top of each other in a single metropolis. It is, without question, one of the most extraordinary cities on earth. The problem isn’t finding things to do. The problem is knowing where to start, what to skip, and how to get the most out of every hour you have.
That’s exactly what Y&D Travel is built for. We are a Mexico City-based small-group tour agency with over 8 years of experience turning great trips into unforgettable ones. Every tour we run is guided by a certified, bilingual local who doesn’t just know the facts — they know the stories, the shortcuts, the best street food stand near the ruins, and the questions that make history click. We keep our groups small on purpose. Because the best moments on any trip happen when you’re actually paying attention — not fighting for a view from the back of a crowd.

Teotihuacan Tours
The City That Predates History
An hour north of Mexico City, the ancient city of Teotihuacan rises out of the high plateau like something from another world because it basically is. The Pyramid of the Sun. The Pyramid of the Moon. The Avenue of the Dead stretching nearly 2.5 kilometers through a city that, at its peak, was one of the largest urban centers on earth. Our Teotihuacan tours are built around getting you there at the right time, with the right guide, and enough context to make the scale of what you’re seeing actually land.
Want more adrenaline with your archaeology? Our ATV Adventure at Teotihuacan puts you on an all-terrain vehicle across the volcanic terrain surrounding the pyramids the kind of experience that doesn’t show up in guidebooks. And for travelers who want to cover more ground in one day, our signature 3-in-1 tour combines Teotihuacan with the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the historic Plaza de Tlatelolco, and a tequila tasting on the way back. Three thousand years of Mexican history, one epic day.
Frida Kahlo Museum Tours
Into the Blue House
La Casa Azul is one of those places that genuinely lives up to the hype if you go the right way. The Frida Kahlo Museum in Coyoacán is where the world’s most famous female artist was born, lived, and died. It holds her canvases, her letters, her corsets, her personal belongings, and the story of a life that was equal parts pain and ferocity. Tickets sell out weeks in advance. Our tours come with guaranteed entry, a certified guide, and the context that turns a visit into a real encounter.
We offer multiple Frida Kahlo tour formats: entrance tickets with a local guide, a half-day neighborhood experience through Coyoacán’s cobblestone streets and market, an exclusive small-group tour with priority access, and a premium full-day that pairs the museum with the floating gardens of Xochimilco. Whichever option fits your day, you’ll leave knowing exactly why this house is one of Mexico’s most visited sites.
Xochimilco Tours
The Living Aztec Canals
Xochimilco is one of those places that sounds like a legend until you’re floating through it on a hand-painted trajinera while mariachis drift past on another boat. These ancient floating gardens a UNESCO World Heritage Site have been here for over a thousand years. They were built by the Aztecs, and they’re still alive today. Families celebrate birthdays here. Vendors paddle up to sell corn and drinks. The whole place hums with a kind of joyful chaos that feels completely unlike anywhere else on earth.
Our Xochimilco tours go deeper than the standard tourist route. We offer kayak adventures through the quieter, more scenic stretches of the canals — including the section known as Frida Kahlo’s canals for a more immersive, physical experience. Combined with a guided walk through historic Coyoacán, this is one of the best ways to spend a full day in the city’s south.
Chapultepec Castle, Puebla & Beyond
Mexico City is also the perfect launchpad for some of the best day trips in central Mexico. Our Puebla and Cholula tour takes you two hours east to one of the country’s most visually stunning colonial cities — famous for its Talavera-tiled buildings, the Great Pyramid of Cholula hidden beneath a Spanish church, and a food scene that gave Mexico mole, chiles en nogada, and cemitas. Our Chapultepec Castle tour explores the only royal castle in North America to have served as an actual imperial residence, sitting above the city with panoramic views and one of Mexico’s great history museums inside.
Adventure Tours ATV, Zip Lines & Cenotes
For travelers who want to push the experience further, our adventure tours deliver. Ride ATVs across the dramatic volcanic landscape surrounding Teotihuacan the pyramids as your backdrop, dust in the air, nothing between you and the ancient city. Or head south for a full-day Mayan jungle adventure: ATV rides, zip lines over the canopy, and a swim in a crystalline cenote. These are the tours people talk about for years.
Airport Transfers Start Strong
Mexico City’s airport is busy, chaotic, and full of unlicensed taxis. Landing in a new city and figuring out transport shouldn’t be part of the adventure that part comes later, when you’re actually out there exploring.
Our professional transfer service picks you up clean, on time, and with your name on a sign. No haggling, no apps that don’t work on a foreign SIM, no guessing which car is actually yours. Just a smooth, comfortable ride straight to your hotel, with a local behind the wheel who can already start answering your questions about the city.
