Good food, great history, amazing company

Shay_A, Apr 2024

My wife and I have done a number of food tours in our past travels, but over the years we've not done many as my wife developed dietary restrictions to include gluten and dairy. Most food tours tends to be a fixed routine of locations and food items, hence the reason this tour caught our eye when on our trip to Mexico city. It started with a call with Marisol before we had even started our vacation, we scheduled a brief call and discussed all the food restrictions. The day of our tour we met Marisol and she did an amazing job giving us many options to choose from giving us the feeling that we could decide where we'd like to go next and once we got to a location she'd give great recommendations on what from the menu we should avoid and what would be worth trying. In between stops for food Marisol walked us through the city telling us about the recent and not so recent history of Mexico City, talked about the surrounding architecture and happily answered all of our questions. At the end of the night we felt like we had made a new friend and could not have asked for a better way to have spent our evening.

It's heartwarming to hear that by the end of the night, you felt like you had made a new friend. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences in the future!

Roberto’s taco tour

Michelle_H, Mar 2024

Loved the taco tour! Roberto was a fabulous guide — took us to great taco places off and on the beaten path. Highly recommend

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Great to hear you enjoyed your time in Mexico City and loved the Taco Tour. Your positive review? It warms our hearts. Many thanks to you!

Excellent experience

SJ_P, Jan 2024

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!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

A big thank you for your glowing review! We're overjoyed to hear that Ernesto made your Mexico City tour exceptionally special and tailored it just for you. Whenever you're ready for your next adventure, we'll be here, eager to make it just as memorable!

Good taco tour

HuiMin_C, Dec 2023

Marisol was wonderful! So friendly and knowledgeable. Also very understanding and made changes to cater to our interest and my tired child. Would definitely recommend.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Your kind words made our day! It's fantastic to hear that Marisol tailored the tour to your family's tastes. Looking forward to hosting you again in Mexico when you return!

Our guide Ingrid was amazing!

Joseph_G, Oct 2023

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!

Tacos and History

Michael_K, May 2023

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!

Jael_V, Sep 2022

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.

Roberto was great. It was...

Jack_F, Nov 2021
