Elaine was excellente! - Elaine was a great tour guide, full of interesting information, history and knowledge on where to get the best tacos. Even though we could have walked around ourselves, we appreciated the tour as she explained to us the difference between the meats and led us to try different foods we wouldn’t have known about. We would definitely recommend Elaine and the Kactus taco tour!

Taco tour!! - Very good guide, Leonardo, he tried very hard to ensure that we had the tour in English and Spanish since the Spanish guide could not come. Very attentive to everyone.

Great tacos, great guide!! - We were looking for a fun way to spend some time in Mexico City on our whole day layover-what better way than to have a taco tour!!!!!! We were a family of 6 (including 2 kids and grandparents). Our guide, Elaine, was super sweet, friendly, and shared lots about Mexican culture, especially food!! We tried 3 different taco stands-Elaine explained all the choices and gave her recommendations. The taco stands were well chosen, offering different choices and flavors. Love that we were eating like the locals!! Highly recommend this tour!

Excellent welcome to the city! - We did the free taco tour with Ricardo. We had just arrived into Mexico City a few hours before embarking on the tour and he made us feel so welcome straight away. Not only did we have the most amazing tacos but he also gave us a tonne of information about the city and the history. We would 100% recommend this tour, hopefully you will be as lucky as us to get Ricardo as a guide!

Avoid!! - I turned up for this tour and I was 5 minutes late and no one was there when I arrived and I tried to contact the company but they hadn’t been online on WhatsApp for 6 weeks and I couldn’t get in contact. It was a waste of time me traveling to the meet up location. Avoid this company
