Traditional Mexican fare with some history thrown in. - Tamara was our guide and she gave us a suburb experience. The tour is all about traditional Mexican food. We experienced specialty dishes in really nice restaurants to huge food markets, food trucks and a lively Cantina ending at the oldest candy store in Mexico City. In between she shared so many stories of Mexican history. It was a real treat.

Cultural meets food meets history and lots of laughs and conversation. - Such a great tour. Our favorite day, in fact! Jímena was so knowledgeable and upbeat. We learned a lot and ate A LOT! She was also extremely accommodating to our directory restrictions. Ángel was really kind and knowledgeable with the many many questions we asked--even the silly ones! The tour was historic and cultural and every stop we went to I bookmarked to go back.

Enjoy the food coma - Tania and Angel were amazing hosts, showing us 10 incredible local food spots. They told us about how all of the food is prepared, and the history of the places we visited, even stopping to show us some notable landmarks in Mexico City. Consider skipping breakfast because it's a lot of really good food.
