Must do in CDMX! - 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!

A Must-do Food Tour in Mexico City - This 'Heritage on a Plate' food tour was amazing. David, the tour guide, did an excellent job taking me to fantastic food spots and letting me sample incredible dishes. I have to say, he's one of the best tour guides I've had, and I've been on many tours throughout my travels. I ate everything that was offered and enjoyed every bite. This tour is so much fun and a must-do when in Mexico City.

Great food tour in CDMX - 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!

Great tour, tasty food and knowledgeable guide - 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.

Food tour Mexico City - We came looking for a taste of authentic Mexico City, a flavor of the town, and good company. Our guide, David, did not disappoint. He knows the area well and got us right in and out to a lot of interesting places. And a great conversationalist (in English or Spanish). Overall an afternoon well spent. One tip: bring an appetite. Even though the portions at each stop are relatively small, they add up. All good.
