This tour was absolutely amazing! We visited so many different places, tried tons of tasty dishes, and listened to so many interesting stories. Our guide, Jossie, was super nice and knows absolutely everything about Mexico City. The tour itself is a 10/10, but Jossie is a 100/10! This is an absolute must-do!
This is a must do tour if you're visiting CDMX! Usually I would just do a walking tour but the opportunity to combine it with food is the right choice! Our tour guide, Jossie, was unbelievable! She managed a group with ease and made sure everyone was looked after! She is very knowledgeable about the local culture, history and food! She definitely ticked all the boxes as this is the definite highlight of my trip, I learned a lot about the culture and food, and we definitely did not go hungry! All the tastings were delicious with my fave being the ceviche tostada! Do yourself a favour and book this tour, you won't regret it! Gracias Jossie!!!
Terrific food. Wonderful places. Angel was an amazing tour guide. So knowledgeable and terrific balance of history and cultural significance of the food we were experiencing. Angel was much more than we expected in a guide and truly made this a top notch experience.
We had a great time on this tour. It was much more than just a food tour for our small family group - it combined excellent local food and drinks with fascinating historical stories that brought Mexico City to life. Our guide, Angel, was excellent. His background in gastronomy and his knowledge, enthusiasm and friendly manner made the tour both enjoyable and informative. Highly recommended for a group wanting to experience the food, history and culture of Mexico City.
The tour was really great! Zarith was a wonder guide!! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
Great experience! Allows you to get to know CDMX’s historic center and eat your way through it. All the spots had good food and Tania was spectacular as our guide! She was super knowledgeable of all buildings, places and Mexico’s history as well as provided so many recommendations for us. You can see she is very attentive to the guests, making sure everyone is keeping up at all times with the group and satisfied. She does a wonderful job making everyone feel comfortable.
We absolutely loved our tour. Jimena was the star of the show, exhibiting benevolence and knowledge that kept us feeling, safe, informed and entertained. What we loved is that each place would not have made our list of places to visit, so we were treated to great bites and friendly faces that would have otherwise been missing from our trip to CDMX.
This tour is a must do for a trip to Mexico City. Mariam Zarith was our guide and she was excellent! She was so knowledgeable about this city’s history and the cuisine, and she made the experience laid back, fun, and very well-rounded. This was our first food tour on a vacation and based on this experience, I will definitely do another. Great tour!
The tour was not only about the amazing food but also an excellent walking tour around the historical area. Jossie was an excellent guide who genuinely knows her stuff and loves what she does. The tour went over 4 hours and we got to taste a great variety of delicious Mexican food. I would definitely recommend this tour.
We had an amazing time on this street food tour of Mexico City’s Historic Center and would highly recommend it! Our guide, Tania, was fantastic. She has an impressive knowledge of the history of her city and country, and she shared her passion for Mexico City and its gastronomy throughout the tour. We really appreciated how she introduced us to a wide variety of foods, many of which were very different from the Mexican dishes we already knew. She was attentive, flexible, and adapted the tour to the group’s interests. Our favorite part was the visit to Mercado de San Juan. The ceviche, cheeses & baguettes, and especially the extraordinary fruits were outstanding. A special mention goes to Claudia, the fruit vendor, who introduced us to some incredible fruits that grow in Mexico and shared the fascinating stories and traditions behind them. It was a memorable and authentic experience. The stop at Pastelería Ideal was another highlight — a fun, authentic, and very local experience. Overall, this was a wonderful way to discover the Historic Center of Mexico City through its food, culture, and history. Highly recommended!
