What a great first day in CDMX

We had the pleasure having Axel as our tour guide. He showed us around El Centro and knew so much about the history, ecology and public art of Mexico City. Then he took us to 2 of the public markets and sampled coffee, tamales, tacos, mole paste and more! He showed us how to use the Metro, and brought us to a lovely family restaurant to make salsa to eat with our fresh tlacoyos made by his honorary “grandmother”. He made us feel like welcome visitors to Mexico City!

Essence of Mexico: Authentic Mexican Cooking Class & Market Tour

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!

Very cool experience

Awesome experience, Jose was amazing! Go hungry, there’s no shortage of food, you’ll leave stuffed! Jose takes the time to personalize the meal to each person’s preferences and was held in a very cool century-old apartment building! Weird booking glitch, nothing to do with Jose. Kept getting notifications from TripAdvisor that booking had been cancelled while at the same time receiving reminders from Viator when and where to meet. We showed up anyway hoping TripAdvisor was wrong and glad we did!

Excellent Sampling of Mexican Cuisine

Natalia was a great host! We had some scrumptious food that represented a great variety of Mexican cuisine. The group size was not too big or too small. Natalia was super knowledgeable and kind and made sure everyone had a wonderful experience! The pace was perfect - not too rushed or too slow. We did take a good 4-4 1/2 hours.

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.

Best way to see Mexico City

We enjoyed a wonderful bike tour of the city along with great tacos! Ishmael was an amazing guide and navigated us through the city very safely. The routes primarily consisted of dedicated bike-only lanes and we traversed many different parts of the city. His extensive knowledge about the history was a bonus! I would highly recommend this experience.
