Such a great way to see...

Such a great way to see the Centro Historico, perfect for my kids (ages 6 and 9) and the adults! We were able to do exactly what we were interested in, moving at our own pace which was awesome. Would highly recommend, and would book again in a heartbeat.

Informative, friendly, and delicious!

I booked the food and historic walking tour with Dani and my family member and I were delighted by the experience! Dani was so responsive and helpful in the logistics, and on the tour was informative, friendly, and fun. We had a great mix of history, current events, architecture, and contemporary life in Mexico city along with delicious tacos and sweets. The tour was perfect for covering a lot of ground, and I'd highly recommend as an activity early on in your Mexico city visit to help orient you to the city, its historical context, and other sights. Dani gave lots of great advice for the rest of our trip. I would highly recommend the tour -- it is a great value! (As an aside, the Mexico a pie folks were so helpful and accommodating of a last minute change of plans and booking, which I appreciated.)

Great way to see the highlights of the historic area and sample some typical food & snacks.

The guide (Daniela) was very knowledgeable. We saw the major sites in the historic area & sampled some great food, including an Oaxacan restaurant, a stand with blue corn quesadillas & the town's most popular bakery. I highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful way to spend your day!

Daniela was AMAZING! She did such a good job navigating our big group of 13 that included senior citizens and little kids. Her knowledge is extensive and the stops were wonderful- the food, in particular was finger licking good!
