Mexico Tour
Mia Cucina Tour of Mexico offers small group, distinctive, fully curated journey, shaped with exceptional attention to detail and a deeply immersive approach.
This experience thoughtfully balances architecture, gastronomy, design, art, luxury stays, private cultural access, and slow travel. The pace is designed so you experience both iconic landmarks and insider spaces with a local lense, without rushing. From vibrant street food to refined fine dining, sharing stories, and connection to place, while elements of Jewish heritage are integrated with sensitivity and cultural depth.
Highlights
Frida Kahlo Museum
Known as La Casa Azul (The Blue House), is the former home and birthplace of the iconic Mexican artist in Coyoacán, Mexico City. It offers an intimate glimpse into her life, displaying her personal belongings, art collection, and key paintings like Viva la Vida, alongside pre-Hispanic artifacts and traditionally Mexican, and decorated in a vibrant blue colour
Historical Jewish Tour in Mexico City
We gain an understanding of the development of the Jewish community and life in Mexico. Jewish immigrants arrived in Mexico in the early twentieth century and settled in what is now known as the Historic Centre. We visit the places where Jewish life was in the early twentieth century, covering different neighbourhoods as we enter one of the oldest Synagogues in Mexico.
Private Art Galleries and Studios
A viewing of private galleries and artists’ studios in Mexico City offers a rare opportunity to experience the city’s contemporary art scene from the inside. Visitors can meet artists, explore works in progress, and gain insight into the creative processes that shape one of Latin America’s most vibrant cultural capitals.
Quetzalcoatl's Nest
Quetzalcoatl's Nest (El Nido de Quetzalcóatl) is a surreal, eco-conscious residential park in Naucalpan, Mexico, designed by architect Javier Senosiain. It features 10 apartments built inside a massive, snake-shaped structure surrounded by oak forests, gardens, and water mirrors, offering a unique, immersive experience in organic architecture.
Luxury Accommodation

Traditional Mexican Cuisine
Mexican food is a vibrant, flavourful cuisine rooted in indigenous Aztec and Mayan traditions blended with Spanish influence. Defined by staples like corn, beans, chillies, and fresh herbs, key dishes include tacos, enchiladas, mole, and tamales, featuring a balance of heat, acidity, and rich, earthy flavours. We enjoy the best street food during the day and fine dining experiences most nights.
