My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience! It would be so difficult for us to Our tour guide, Adriana, was so nice and fun. She planned the tour around our needs and made everything easy and enjoyable. Not only did she take us to delicious food stops, but she also shared so much about the culture and history of Mexico City. It would have been so difficult for us to enjoy the local foods without knowing any Spanish. Highly recommend!

Operator response

We’re so glad you and your boyfriend were able to enjoy the amazing local food scene and learn more about the culture and history of Mexico City with Adriana. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’d love to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in the future!

Taco tour of Condesa

First, Roberto has a wide range of knowledge and not just about food. We did a taco tour around the Condesa area. Each place he gave a very detailed knowledge of how they were prepared. We started with a breakfast version. We also went to different types of locations. Dine in ones and a street stand. All were delicious. But beyond that, he knew about the area, Mexico history, and just generally a great tour guide. I was here with my brother. It made for a perfect day !

Condesa Roma Taco & Craft Beer Tour with Roberto

Roberto was an outstanding guide! We indulged in an amazing variety of tacos from four different vendors, each showcasing the old and new ways to enjoy this beloved dish. His walking tour of Condesa Roma was an adventure we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. We also stopped in Roma for some craft beers and enjoyed a flight of their unique brews. I came to CDMX to visit my sister, who was here for work, and we stayed in Polanco. This tour was a fantastic way to explore a different part of this beautiful city while savoring delicious food and engaging in stimulating conversation with Roberto. It's safe to say he made our entire trip unforgettable!

King Roberto

What a trip! My guide, Roberto, was so friendly and spoke great English. He was able to find me at the airport and picked me up early too. We had so much fun walking around all the markets. He shared the cities history and current events as well. The restaurants we went to served us delicious food too! Fondo Margarita was Anthony Bourdain’s favorite breakfast joint after a fun night of partying. I truly had a great experience. Thank you.

Street Food Tour of México City

Roberto was an excellent guide for our street food tour of Mexico City. He met us at our AirBnb and we traveled to small restaurants and markets that we would have never found on our own. Excellent variety and choices of food supporting small locally run businesses that are frequented by locals. Roberto was a wealth of knowledge about Mexico and Mexico City history. It was a nice mix of eating and exploring the city by foot, Uber & subway. I highly recommend the tour and especially Roberto.
