Foodie Tour

Joan_H, Jan 2026

We had a wonderful morning with Hugo and Alex as our guides. Lots of lovely tastes of genuine Mexican food and chat about Mexico City itself. Finished up with coffee and cake. Wow!

Great foodie experience

Carolyn_K, Jan 2026

Alejandro was the ideal guide and knew many great options to introduce me to the local cuisine. As a solo traveler it is important to feel safe and I could not have asked for a better evening. The food was delicious and I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to others. Thank you Alejandro!

Delicious stroll in Historico Centro

Monticello_L, Jan 2026

Had multiple foods in various setting in Historico Centre… Girard was a great guide and walking partner Bakeries are the BEST

Wonderful food tour!

Roberta_H, Dec 2025

This tour ended up with just my son and I and we had a wonderful time with our guide Alejandro. Alejandro personalized this tour according to our needs since we love Mexican food! Since this was our first visit to Mexico City we appreciated the historical and cultural information we received. I would highly recommend this tour!!!

Love food and Lucy.

Lucy was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable about Mexico City and its food. We went to so many places and tried lots of yummy food. Lucy was very personable and made all feel like we were friends going out to eat!

Claudia_P, Sep 2025

My tour was fantastic, so many good restaurant choices and I learned a lot of the history of Mexico City. I definitely got my money’s worth on this tour.

Must do in CDMX!

Sasha_H, Sep 2025

This tour was amazing! Great food, history, culture and knowledgeable guide! Yael was really good at sharing his passion for the culture and food. We visited more than 5 food spots and he described the culture and history of the dishes and his personal story with them, made it all the more meaningful! I highly recommend this tour!

Hola Jane! Thank you for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed walking and eating through local Mexico City with Diego as your guide. Best wishes :)

Great food tour in CDMX

Ashleigh_M, Mar 2025

Absolutely wonderful food tour! I had done a lot of research of the best tacos in CDMX and this tour took us to several of them! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. My only complaint was the meeting point was not super clear and could’ve used more details about exactly where the guide was standing and what he was wearing. I recommend this tour to anyone looking for the less-touristy spots in Mexico City!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hola Ashleigh! Thank you for your review and recommendation. I’m glad you enjoyed your tour through local Mexico City. Best wishes :)

Great tour, tasty food and knowledgeable guide

Marie_K, Feb 2025

Great tour. Would recommend doing it at the beginning of your stay. Lots of local food so, if you do the morning tour, don't have breakfast! The meeting point was very vague - it is just outside the side gates to the cathedral (opposite the flag pole). The guide was great too.
