A wonderful culinary journey through the historic area of Mexico City. - We began with a taste of Oaxaca! Our guide Tania explained the culture and history that led to the wonderful samplings throughout our culinary journey. Tania also stopped at many sites along the way with much history and fascinating stories. All in all the afternoon was wonderful.

Perfect day - A really great tour and with Jimena as our guide it was just perfect. Lots of information and lots of fun, a great day! Incredibly many different stops - more food in one day is not possible. Thank you Jimena :-)

Excellent food tour with knowledgeable guide - Excellent tour with Jimena who was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We ate an amazing amount of food in about 8 different places, ranging from market eateries, street stalls, cantinas to restaurants. Do not have breakfast before going on this tour. Good choice of drinks throughout the tour as well. My favourite stop was the local cantina, great atmosphere and great drinks with small plates of food.

Do it! - Josette was very friendly, bubbly and knowledgeable during the tour. She organised a surprise desert to celebrate our wedding and went above and beyond. This tour is a great way to see Mexico City historical Centre, get your bearings, enjoy some food and learn some history of Mexico!

Great food and experience - We’ve been in food tours in past where you just get a few tasters, but this was approx 10 stops and good portions. So don’t eat breakfast which is the mistake we made! There is a walk between locations and a chance to see parts of the city you may not necessarily see otherwise. The highlights for me were the local food market (not for the squeamish or those offended by animal products) and the Cantinas (local eatery) Kiomi our guide was great and very knowledgeable about the food and city. Highly recommend

Fully recommended this food tour! - Really enjoyable tour, our guide Joss was great! You will be stuffed by the end and the tour guide gives lots of additional information not just about food as you walk around! We did it on our first day and it was a great way to get to know the historic centre.
