I learned to cook where the best Mexican cooks learn: next to my grandmother. I have degrees in bakery and pastries from the Cloister of Sister Joan, and I just finished studying gastronomy, and together with my mom we have a cafeteria in the city. The kitchen is not my job, it's my world. I have been creating gastronomic experiences for travelers from all over the world for more than two years, and what matters most to me is not that you learn a recipe, but that when you finish you feel that in Mexico you will always have a friend. Each experience is different because each person is different. Welcome to Mexico:)

What A Great Tour!

We had a great time! Not only did we get great food but we got a great history lesson and awesome fun facts about the local area throughout the trip! Miriam was a great guide. My only advice, maybe skip breakfast, there’s a lot of food, which is great, just come on an empty stomach!

Such a wonderful experience in which I didn’t only get to sample many unique and delicious Mexican dishes but also learned a lot about the history and architecture around Roma. I love all the flavorful ingredients and sauces, as well as the stories behind them. My guide was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. And the group that I had was super fun as well!

Doesn’t get better than this! Book this tour.

We had the most amazing day with Axel learning about this history and Mexico City, visiting the markets, eating delicious food at family owned restaurants, learning to navigate around the area including taking the metro and making salsa with Estelle and her family. Axel is a wealth of knowledge and it shares it like the best history professor you could imagine. He is so passionate about his country and dives deep which we all loved. He truly went above and beyond for our group. We got way more than we expected and I’m sure it will go down as a highlight in our travels.

PRIVATE Traditional Mexico City Cooking Class in a Beautiful Home

Jessie_F, Sep 2026

Our favorite experience in CDMX!

This was the best experience we had on our entire trip! Margarita welcomes you graciously into her beautiful home. The whole experience is paced very well: from refreshments on the patio, to making and enjoying appetizers, then making and enjoying an exquisite lunch with dessert, wine, everything is perfect. Margarita gives a masterclass in hospitality. We learned so much, the food was delicious, and we enjoyed wonderful conversation that made CDMX come to life. Margarita’s husband, an accomplished economist, stopped by to say hello and the enjoyable conversation continued. The recipes are authentic and also simple that we can recreate them at home. Everything is perfecto, thank you Margarita, our new friend!

Can't miss!

Chef Pame was the star of the show during this outstanding cooking class. There were vegetarian and gluten-free options available. We started with an appetizer and agua fresca while Pame introduced us to evolution of Mexican cuisine. She then guided us through Mercado Medellín, which included samples of fresh tortillas, chocolate, insects, and local fruits. Upon returning, Pame's energy was infectious. She provided high-energy, educational, and hands-on guidance to all the prep stations. We made sopes, tortillas, salsa roja and verde, mextlapiques, mole blanco, and pan de elote. Everything was delicious, and we made salsas of varying spice levels. I've had the pleasure of taking several cooking classes around the world, and Pame's class was easily my favorite. I left with an appreciation and understanding of the cultural significance of Mexican cuisine. Pame's love for her country, cooking, and profession were inspiring. We can't wait to plan a return visit to Mexico City to take another class with Pame!

Anthropology Museum Guided Tour

Nicole_E, May 2026

Amazing archaeological tour!

Alphonso was such an incredible tour guide! We lucked out and got a private tour with him, and his archaeological and historical knowledge was astounding. We had a great time learning about the history of Mexico with him, discussing art and pottery, and our shared love of coffee! He went above and beyond and gave us a 3.5 hour tour, because he kept remembering important objects he wanted to share with us. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone! It gave especially important context to the museum that you just wouldn't get without a guide.
