Street Food Experience - Downtown - Excellent - My wife and I had the Street Food Experience - Downton and had a great time. Paco was our guide and gave us background about each place - a local chain, a couple market stalls, a street vendor, plus a churro stop. He was also very knowledgeable in answering random questions. He knew all the vendors so we could feel the authenticity. We highly recommend this experience.

Ari showed and fed us parts of Mexico City we never would have found ourselves! - Ari was an amazing guide and his passion for food and Mexico City was the highlight of our time in CDMX. He took us to many different type of street food stations and took in our input while giving us interesting information not only on the historical parts of Mexico City but local history of neighborhoods and shops that only a local would know. I would recommend this tour with Ari to anyone visiting, just remember to come hungry.

Amazing tour, worth every second! - An incredible walk around Mexico City’s street food world! We were introduced to several local restauranthosts who let us taste plenty of good food; tacos, churros, insects, cheese, coyos and more. We were also introduced to high quality Mezcal. This was a very entertaining way to learn about local foods! And our new friend (guide) Ari was an incredible nice and pleasant person to be around! Accordingly he was very knowledgeable about Mexico’s history and food history. He took his time to teach us a lot on our way. We will highly recommend his services!

Fantastic taco tour!! - We had a fantastic time with Paola- she was so personable and knowledgeable and very enjoyable to be with. The food places in the tour were clearly hand-picked - we walked past places with more people to eat at a tiny place that we wouldn’t have ever found on our own, that just had FANTASTIC tacos. And all the places were great!! She said we could eat as many as we wanted but even though I paced myself, I still couldn’t finish the last one! Highly recommended - we loved it!!!

Hungry For More - Paco was a wonderful guide. It became clear to my fiancée and I at the beginning, that he knows his food. He's a nice guy, he's engaging, intelligent, and moves the tour along at our pace. Everything tasted great. Authentic, Mexican food in the heart of Mexico City. Sugar skulls, tacos, tlacoyo, churros, chocolate and cheese. If it's a cool, rainy afternoon, the Mezcal will definitely warm you up. And if you're feeling adventurous, there's even crickets. Try 'em out, I promise it's all good. And of course, we're in Mexico City. So there's plenty to see. Blink and you could miss it. Thanks again.

10/10!! Amazing trip and tour, Would recommend to anyone! - Our Mexico City trip was awesome!! Our tour guide Are was most polite, knowledgeable and most patient. We were able to visit many churches aside from the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe which turned out to be very emotional. The boat tour at the canals was truly special and fun. We learned much of the Mexican traditions, history and culture. Hotel Geneve was extraordinarily beautiful. The rooms were a good size, beds very comfortable and service excellent. Meals - awesome especially the tacos in the street food tour. I finished all 5 of them! Hotel Location - very good! You go down to eat and shop...very convenient and safe. Tour Experience - enjoyable to the max. I think going to the cultural show was great! This should be part of the itinerary or a similar one at least. Are, our guide went out of his way to have a church opened for us to see. That was super of him to ask the priest. Monkey Exprerience accommodated all our reasonable requests being 4 ladies. We asked to pace our tours and they happily accommodated us. Paco Reyes picked us up at the airport upon arrival. He gave us a very warm reception and was very respectful and helpful. He also bade us farewell upon departure. Both Are and Paco were very personable and always smiling. We 4 ladies had so much fun on this tour!! I give you a 10! Thank you for the awesome experience!!

Tour cancelled 2 hours before! - They cancelled the tour 2 hours before the start time. This this is really poor from the tour company as we had planned our trip around it. It’s a shame given their reviews for the actual tour which I’m sure would have got 5 stars.
