Excellent experience - Well worth doing this private guided foodie experience! We really enjoyed being able to customise our experience and our guide Ernesto was flexible, knowledgeable and passionate! We did this on our first night in Mexico city and it gave us so much confidence to go out and explore on our own. Gracias Ernesto!

Our guide Ingrid was amazing! - We absolutely had a great experience with Ingrid. She knows the area very well, was very friendly, and showed us different taco places. We were able to try different flavours that we never saw in the US - everything was very tasty. We didn’t just go to established restaurant, we also hit the local market - something we probably wouldn’t be able to do ourselves - the market is HUUUUUGE. We felt we were eating like a local - thanks to Ingrid!

A great night in Mexico City - Nico our great and enthusiastic guide who gave us lots of interesting info and listened and answered all our questions. We had a variety of delicious tacos in a the Navarte (taco) neighbourhood… finishing up with an enlightening Mescal tasting (plus bonus birthday cake for one of us!). A great night out!

Tacos and History - We had a great time with Lando wandering around Condesa and eating delicious tacos. Lando then took us on the Metrobus towards downtown and sent us a bunch of recommendations for the rest of your day.

TACOS!!!!!! Yassssss. Fantastic experience! - We had a blast walking around spotting all the taco places. Ernesto, our tour guide was beyond amazing. Fully bilingual in English and Spanish (he also speaks Portuguese, maybe another language too). We ate so good that tapped out.. Ernesto can customize your experience according to your needs. My boyfriend has celiac and can’t eat gluten. He designed our route to meet this criteria. Seriously, a fantastic experience. Thank you Ernesto for taking such great care of us.

Extremely enjoyable and delicious taco tour in Mexico City - veganized at our request! - We had an extremely enjoyable and delicious taco tour in Mexico City last Wednesday night led by our guide, Oskar. Oskar was delightful and very accommodating. He custom designed our tour to only take us to places that served vegan tacos. This was a first for Oskar but he did an awesome job! He arranged a progressive tour of several excellent vegan taco restaurants, taco stands and food carts. Everything was delicious and he even led us on a fun walking tour that was a wonderful introduction to the city. We highly recommend this tour and be sure to request Oskar!
