Food and Fun - A great entry into Mexico City! - Dana was an excellent host - she was knowledgeable and informed about the history and culture of the food we were tasting, and full of anecdotes about the history of the city as well. The tour was fun and paced really well - we spent five hours together but there were plenty of breaks, lots of great conversation and, of course, amazing food. It was an excellent value that I'd recommend to anyone.

Our guide Josette Ahedo... - Our guide Josette Ahedo was wonderful. She had a lot of energy and enthusiasm and clearly loved the culture and food scene of Mexico City. We felt like we were with friends. She also surprised us with a little anniversary treat/celebration.

Skipped breakfast to have room for the tour - We had a great time with our guide Kiomi. The food tour is well organized and in between we got to know the Historic Central. We were stuffed and skipped dinner after the tour. As a matter of fact, I do not know how I finished those delicious food. I am lactose intolerant and cannot drink alcoholic beverages, they were able to accommodate my condition.

Yummy Fun - Wonderful food tour around the historic area with Tania today. Great company and lots of tasty treats. Eating different moles side by side was super fun. The cantina was an absolute hoot. And the last stop (won’t spoil it) blew us away. Many thanks Tania!

Great 5 hours in CDMX! - Great way to spend a day in Mexico City -- delicious and interesting foods and beverages, lots of history of the historic area, and it was terrific to spend 5 hours with strangers who spoke English and were interested in Mexican culture! Our guide Dana was the real jewel of this tour -- she's so vibrant and super-passionate about CDMX - she made this experience memorable. Mucha gracias, Dana!!!!

Highly Recommend Historic Center Tour with Dana - Dana was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had, and I’ve been on quite a few tours all over the world. She’s very sweet, personable, engaging, and told stories about the history of the historic center that brought the streets and food to life. She grew up in Mexico City, and truly knows its history. I would not have been able to have such an enriching experience had I explored centro historico on my own. She navigated through the busy streets, knew all the shopowners, and they greeted us warmly in return. We truly felt immersed in the culture, and got to experience the caring hospitality of the Mexican people as well as learn historical insight. Loved the tour! Highly recommend, especially with Dana!
