What To Expect

Begin with pickup at your hotel, and travel to the Palace of Fine Arts, a turn-of-the-century landmark in the heart of Mexico City’s historic district and the home of the Mexican Folkloric Ballet. With elegant Art Deco and Art Nouveau design, the Palace of Fine Arts is a destination in itself: don’t miss the Tiffany glass curtain that portrays Mexican volcanoes and fiestas, or the Aztec and Maya gods that guard the entrance to the theater.

The Mexican Folkloric Ballet weaves ancient traditions with Spanish influences, and bring legends, stories, and history to life on stage. Enjoy a show that’s divided into eight segments with an intermission, accompanied by vibrant live music with distinctive sounds from around the country. Performers use traditional costumes in vivid color, with dozens of dancers sharing the stage at once. At the end of the Folkloric Ballet show, meet the driver for the return trip to your hotel.

Note: The show may also take place at the Castillo de Chapultepec.

We signed up for my family of 11 to see the Folkloric Ballet in Bellas Artes at 8:30pm. Then a few days prior, we were told it was at 7pm. Then in the transportation, on our way to Bellas Artes we found out it was moved to be in Chapultepec which is an outdoors venue, in the winter - it was freezing. NOT what I signed up for.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hello, 20 days before, we have the obligation to inform with sufficient time in advance that the event changes its place of representation (and is out of our control) because if you disagree about doing the activity or not and it cancels, we keep the tickets, and That is why it is important to notify in advance and we did it, they decided to do it and continue with the reservation, we informed that it is outdoors and at the top of the mountain where the Chapultepec Castle is, we were there to assist you and provide a transportation service inside and wait for them outside for their return.

Folklorico Ballets

Marion_M, Oct 2022

The program was outstanding- a must see in Mexico City. The Palau o belles artes is beautiful while the Tiffany Curtain on the performance stage is breathtaking. Logistics were difficult as the historico district was more or less shut down because of a concert in Zocalo square. We texted and telephoned saying we would walk to the center but that we needed some way of getting our tickets. Disappointed that there was no reply. We did sent photos so the organizer could find us. It worked out.. but mainly due to our initiative. We were happy to receive the tickets because we thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Recommendation please use the app to communicate with the clients.

WilliamC_F, Feb 2018

Terribly disorganized. It was supposed to be indoors at a specific venue and we were supposed to meet at a certain time. By accident we found out from another tourist at the last minute that the time had changed -- and that it would be held at an outdoor venue. It was quite cold and we were not dressed for it. We nearly missed it because of the time snafu, and had a miserable experience under dressed for the outdoors cold.

Our driver Luis drove us to the Bella Artes where the Folkloric Ballet performed. He made the whole process easy and enjoyable. The show was entertaining and colorful. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
