Such a fun tour. Lots of yummy taco spots and some great and interesting stops along the way.
Great tour. Excellent food, interesting stories, memorable sights. A variety of food as well with different dishes and tastes.
I had a great experience. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable and the food was good.
Gabi and Paki exceeded our expectations as they led us on a personalized taco tour of multiple neighborhoods in Mexico City. They went above and beyond to share with us the history of the local areas, introduce us to very interesting restaurants, bars, and historic hotels, and answer our many questions. They are friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this experience.
Gabby and Paki were the best - a very informative and yummy 5 hour tour. I am a vegetarian- a fabulous variety of tacos and drinks. From steet tacos to the iconic Geneve Hotel. I highly recommend this tour
We booked the private tour. The guide was friendly and accommodated two vegetarian members in the group. But otherwise, there wasn’t much special about the tour or tacos, and the last taco stop was out of food so we didn’t get to eat there. Overall an okay tour, but for the price we were disappointed, felt we could’ve had better tacos and didn’t learn all that much about the city
There's a formal complaint against the customer and male participants for INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR TOWARDS THE FEMALE GUIDE, behavior that bordered on harassment and bullying. Even after attitudes that made the guide clearly uncomfortable (remarking several times that they wanted to find Mexican women for their bachelor's trip, asking her personal questions, scrolling photos of women in front of her) the guide tried to be accommodating to her best extent and in compliance of the tour's described itinerary.
Amazing experience, throughout the tour from start to finish they tell you stories of the streets of the CDMX, very enjoyable the whole tour. It's totally worth it
Wonderful walk not only through the city but through its history, its architecture, and, of course, its myths and legends. To be a walk about crime stories and ghosts is very funny and very enjoyable. Gaby is a knowledgeable, pleasant and attentive guide. I highly recommend it!
I loved the experience of touring and getting to know new places especially the history I did not know, the very prepared and very friendly guides. Attentive to everything. Very good service and very grateful.
The tour was a very interesting and stimulating experience to understand more the cultural complexities of Mexico City, from ancient history to the present urban. Very rewarding, I will definitely take more of the tours Frida proposes!
