Top Mexico City Food Tours

I booked the hot air balloon ride inc. transport to/from Mexico City and time to visit the pyramids, and it was an all-round fab experience. As a solo traveller I felt comfortable and well looked-after the whole time. The early 5am start is absolutely worth it on a good weather day. I went in March, which was chilly first thing, so definitely layer up, though it warms up quickly on the balloon itself with the heat from the fire. The timing meant we got to watch the balloons being inflated at sunrise, then took off just as the sun came up at its brightest and deffo its prettiest. The ride itself lasts around 45 minutes (est. 30-50, as landing spots aren’t fixed in advance). We ended up touching down in a field with local workers running over to help, which only added to the fun – as did clipping the edge of a tree on the descent! The port is a great pre- and post-flight base. All the staff are very helpful and everything runs smoothly, with both English and Spanish options available. Before the flight there’s coffee while you wait to be called to board, and watching the balloons inflate is a great way to pass that time. The boarding process is very straightforward, even as a solo traveller with no one to follow, I had no issues at all. After landing, there’s a champagne toast at the site before being taken back to the port for a Mexican buffet with traditional food and a mariachi band who come round to each table – they were lovely! You get a good hour or so with no rush before buses depart for the pyramids (or back to the city if you opted out). FYI – when you check in on arrival, there’s an option to book a walking tour of the pyramids for around £20. I’d definitely recommend it – the guides are fab, and the Teotihuacan history is vast and fascinating, so having someone to walk you through it makes a real difference. Great value for money. I’ve already recommended it to friends.

Great way to check off both sites. Our guide Jonathan was great- did frequent checks about taking a break/bathroom breaks. He kept a good pace and answered any questions we had. You can also go back to the musuem afterwards if you want to explore on your own.

Erika is an incredible tour guide who made this experience better than we could have dreamed. She has wonderful recommendations for Zona Roma, was very friendly, and shared some great knowledge about the Mezcal process. The drinks and tacos we had were amazing, and there was an option to have more than the provided tacos/mezcal, but we felt that it was the perfect amount! Can’t recommend Erika or this tour enough!

I’m a big fan of Lucha Libre, so I was really excited to see it live for the first time in the city – and I loved the experience. The guides brought us together at a local taco spot first, where they shared some history and got us started with tacos, tequila, and mezcal, which was a great way to kick things off. After that, we headed to the stadium. The guides don’t go in with you, which I wasn’t aware of beforehand, but it wasn’t an issue. I was able to find my seat easily and just enjoy the show. The match itself was really fun and such a unique experience. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the city.

Carlo was a great guide. He brought us to taste many delicious treats, both savoury and sweet. He also showed us and explained a number of historical spots. Carlo walked at a relaxed pace and made sure everyone was in a group before his explanations, and he was loud and clear. He was a perfect guide and our tour was very enjoyable.

A lovely day . Ive done this trip before. But this time it eas in reverse, starting in puebla . No issues with this as it was quieter making the markets more comfortable to move around . Alexa was a great guide . I learned new things through the entire trip . She really has passion .

Great way to experience the flavors of Mexico. After buying all fresh ingredients from a local market, we returned to a home kitchen to cook a delicious traditional Mexican meal. We made everything from scratch under the guidance of our host chef. It was a perfect date night for our anniversary.

The tour is for a large group, but our guide, Alan, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Teotihuacan and its history, which made the tour much more engaging. I learned so much throughout the experience. I highly recommend the early access, as it gets very crowded later in the day.
