Marisol was amazing. She is an experienced world traveler that understands exactly how to introduce the best facets of her city. We tried amazing new foods, learned the Metro system and made a new friend.

Marisol chose a market tour and food stalls and small restaurants that gave us a true sense of how locals shop and eat. This was the furthest from “tourist traps” you can get and worth every penny of the tour fee. Marisol was full of information about Mexican culture and habits, which she shared with infectious enthusiasm. Being an experienced global traveler and student herself, she brought a worldly but also very personal perspective to her narrative. There is no way, as visitors (for a few days) to Mexico City, we could have duplicated this “deep dive” into local (food) culture by ourselves. Plus, we felt totally safe doing so, guided by Marisol, being warmly greeted everywhere by friendly shopkeepers and foodstall workers - and with the virtually complete absence of other tourists. Brava! Marisol for a most enjoyable introduction to your home country. A highly recommended food tour if you want to experience a slice of the “real” Mexico. Douglas, Linda, Kirstin & Robert
