What you'll do

You’ll immerse yourself in Mexico City’s food culture with one of our Mexican hosts, and by immersing we mean you’re going to eat a lot of incredible street food (a practical approach is best, we always find). Street food is king here, so you’ll explore a neighborhood of the city and eat at various street food stalls and taquerías for a taste of the real deal.

With dozens of varieties of tortas, pozole, mole, sopes and esquites to try, and that’s before you’ve even got us started on the dizzying world of tacos with their various toppings, salsas, and garnishes. You’ll be glad someone’s here to show you the ropes.

Feast your way through the streets and try the dishes which keep the city going at the places you know are authentic - it’s not hard to see, or taste, why CDMX has one of the best street food scenes in the world. And we suppose there’s always room for dessert. Fresh mango with chili, la concha sweet bread, or churros, anyone?

    If you want a private tour through Mexico City, this is the tour for you. Our guide, Marisol, was very knowledgeable about everything Mexico. It was a great way to get a lot out of the city in a short amount of time!

    We booked four different tours over the course of a week in Mexico City. Alejandro was a fantastic guide on the Teotihuacan day tour. His enthusiasm and knowledge made our day very memorable. Hector & Gabriel were our guides on different city tours - they were warm and fun and took us everywhere we wanted to go. Marisol was our guide for the food tour. She has expert, academic knowledge of the city and took us where the locals eat and spots with unique architecture. All of the guides contacted us ahead of time and were very professional and punctual. I recommend this company very highly, but they do not have private cars. The city tours are all walking, or you get an Uber or use public transportation for far distances. Mexico City is massive. Also, most museums are closed on Mondays, including the Frida Kahlo House & the Palacio des Belles Artes. If you prefer a guide to accompany you to such places, schedule them on another day.

    We also had great tours with Alejandro, Hector & Gabriel, but didn’t get emails to comment about each of them. I think we just got one for Hector.
