What are people saying about Mexico City

Michelle_V, Aug 2026

Highlight of our trip

We had such a wonderful experience with Lorena on our first day in Mexico City! Taking her cooking class was the perfect way to start our trip. Lorena was incredibly warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, and she did such a great job making the experience both fun and educational. We started with a tour of Mercado Medellín, where we sampled a variety of fresh ingredients, fruits, tortillas, and even some insects! Lorena shared so much interesting history and insight into Mexican ingredients and their connection to the culture, which made the experience feel much more meaningful than just a cooking class. From the market, we went on to prepare a delicious four-course meal together. Lorena patiently guided us through every step of the preparation and cooking while explaining the history and traditions behind the dishes. We loved being able to make the meal ourselves and then sit down and enjoy everything we had prepared, along with our choice of beer, wine, agua Fresca or mezcal. It was an unforgettable experience and such a special introduction to Mexico City. We’re so glad we did this on our first day and would absolutely recommend Lorena’s class to anyone visiting CDMX!

Xochimilco & Mexican Party with Guacamole & Unlimited Drinks

Sahil_S, Aug 2026

A must-do cultural and FUN experience!

This experience was fantastic. We joined 7 others on a boat as a group of girlfriends. And it was a perfect celebration for 2 hours on a charming boat in the most local, fun way. We had a guac making competition, played games, heard mariachi, and delicious drinks. Cassie and her partner were so thoughtful and decorated the boat for our bday and cancer surviving girlfriends. I would highly recommend both 2Travel Amigas and this experience overall. It’s one for the books! One tip: secure a trip back with your uber driver and make sure you get dropped off at the right arch. It was difficult for us to find the right dropoff stop because of all the potential entrances and boats. Get there early to avoid making the others late. They were all gracious but that was the only mild hiccup in finding the team and group. Overall one of our favorite experiences in Mexico City!

Roma Norte Food Tour

ron_c, Aug 2026

Best tour guide of Roma Norte!

What a way to experience the city of Roma Norte through history and food. Our sweet tour guide, Camila, was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and funny. She brought the local history to life and shared fascinating stories about the architecture and the people. She gave us a deeper appreciation for the culture. Gracias Camila! We highly recommend this food tour of Roma Norte!

Historic Center Food Tour in Mexico City

Hannah_D, Aug 2026

Hello Historic Centre - Josette gave us the best intro to CDMX!

When they say a guide should feel like you’re walking through a city with a friend, it does with Josette. The moment we met her at Testal, her energy and vibes drew us in for what the rest of our food tour around the historic centre would be like. On a Thursday, it was just my partner and I who were on the tour, so pretty much had Josette as our private tour guide. From reading past reviews, we made sure we came with empty stomachs and we were already full by our 3rd tasting at the famous street food location El Caguamo for their ceviche tostada (my favourite dish on the tour, but I’m biased as ceviche has always been my favourite food). My partner’s favourite was the Corunda and 3 types of mole tostadas at Testal - our 1st tasting. Other call-outs include having wild boar for the first time and the yummy local drinks. I had hibiscus agua Fresca at Testal; clericot at Delicatessan Alexandra Gourmet in the Mercado de San Juan; carajillo at La Mascota and horchata at El Bajio! What was awesome besides the generous servings of food and drinks was seeing her rapport with the market vendors and restaurant staff. This made sense to us because of her infectious energy which made it fun to be a part of each of the different venues. For each venue, we had a mini history lesson on the different foods we tried and the venue itself (one being a former president’s home). The tour got even better when Josette became our photographer at notable places and streets within the historic centre like the Mercado de Artesanías y Curiosidades Mexicanas San Juan and the “sinking” school on our way to La Mascota. Our photos look amazing! Our tour wrapped up with a birthday surprise at El Bajio where Josette so thoughtfully organised a birthday flan for me. I was so touched by her thoughtfulness! If you love copious amounts of food and drinks and a bubbly and energetic guide who loves Mexico and what she does, book this tour with Josette! Thank you so much Josette and hope that our paths cross again (maybe in Sydney or Mexico City again!)

Amazing and interactive

We had a really amazing experience cooking with Jose. He walked us to the market and guided us on what to pick out for the meal we cooked later. He was patient and informative on what we were doing and how we were doing it. His lessons will last my partner and I a lifetime. A really phenomenal experience and can’t wait to take these new skills back home. 10/10

Mexico City Market Secrets, Street Food & Salsa-Making Lesson

Mario_Z, Jul 2026

It was an absolutely...

It was an absolutely incredible, professional and at the same time very welcoming experience. Axel knows so much about the history, languages and art of all the visited places. He was always ready to dive deeper and answer questions. He made us feel very safe and watched out for us at every little turn of the streets. It was a very wholesome experience, it actually felt like a city tour with a friend (maybe because he and I are foodies and love music?). The cooking course at Ramoncita's in the end felt like coming home. She and her family are an institution at the market. We were overwhelmed at how welcoming everyone was and how much everyone took care of us clumsy Europeans. Thank you so much for this experience. We will never forget it. This tour is absolutely recommended, the money is worth it. Axel's communication skills, cultural awereness and hospitality are impressive.

PRIVATE Traditional Mexico City Cooking Class in a Beautiful Home

Louis_C, Jun 2026

Wonderful Cooking Class

Margarita’s cooking class: We had a wonderful time cooking at Margarita’s home and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mexico City. Her home is beautiful and located in a lovely part of the city, creating the perfect setting for an authentic and memorable afternoon. From the moment we arrived, Margarita was warm, attentive, and highly professional. More than just a cooking class, this felt like an invitation into Mexican culture and family life. Being welcomed into her home gave us the opportunity to learn not only about Mexican cuisine, but also about the traditions, values, and stories that surround it. Margarita answered all of our questions thoughtfully and made sure everyone in our group had the chance to participate. She was especially wonderful with the kids, involving them throughout the process and teaching techniques in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. Margarita thoughtfully accommodated our dietary needs and tailored the menu to our group. For our class, we prepared sopes, cactus salad, chicken mole, Mexican white rice, and a delicious guava dessert. Every dish was flavorful, easy to recreate at home, and offered insight into traditional Mexican cooking. Her attention to detail was exceptional, and she shared countless tips and techniques that we will continue to use long after our vacation. There is a wonderful balance between cooking, learning, relaxing, and enjoying the food you prepare together. It never felt rushed, and we appreciated having time to savor both the meal and the experience. By the end of the afternoon, we felt as though we had spent time with a friend rather than simply attended a cooking class. Margarita’s kindness, generosity, and passion for sharing her culture made this one of the highlights of our trip. We would gladly do this again on a future visit to Mexico City.

One of the highlights of my trip to Mexico City. We visited a local market, purchased authentic ingredients, and made tortillas, salsa, guacamole, ceviche, and margaritas from scratch. Great instructor, great food, and lots of fun. I left with a full stomach, new skills, and a deeper appreciation for Mexican culture. Highly recommend!

In case you haven’t...

Our group of four had an amazing time with Lucia! Lucia was a clear and effective teacher for cooking delicious tacos, sopes, mole, and dessert and we returned home with new recipes and skills. We also enjoyed chatting with her about Mexican history while dining in her beautiful home. Her insights on Mexican culture, food, and history provided valuable perspective on our entire trip. She also gave us recommendations for places to visit which we enjoyed greatly. Thank you, Lucia!
