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.

Great experience!
Nicholas_D, Mar 2024
Paula was fantastic! She was super friendly, patient and helpful. The food was great as well. As others have commented, we never would have found the places we did on our own. Definitely a great 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.
Ari showed and fed us parts of Mexico City we never would have found ourselves!

Response from Host, Jan 2024
The downtown area is the perfect place to delve into the food of Mexico City, not specifically for its tranquility, but for its ancient history and hidden gems awaiting discovery. Thank you so much for joining us!
Fantastic taco tour!!
Marlene_M, Nov 2023
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!!!
Ari was fabulous! He...

Ari was fabulous! He accommodated us unbelievably and took us to the most amazing back street places that we would have never ventured to on our own. I would highly recommend that anyone wanting this tour ask for Ari.
A very filling tour!

Ari was the best tour guide we could ask for. He made the whole tour amazing and was very personable. Everything he recommended was beyond delicious. I highly recommend him as your guide! Be prepared to eat!
For Food lovers and more!

I was with my mom who was visiting CDMX for her first time and this was a beautiful crash course for her to learn this place, its rich culture, and the delicious food spots! Our tour guide was Paco and he did not disappoint! He went above and beyond detailing stories about places we walked past including tales of the saints, the Aztec traditions, and really showing us places I would never have visited or learned about on my own. We went to some historic spots and ate so many yummy tacos, the BEST churro i've ever had, and tried a delicious mezcal along the way. I highly recommend, just takes in you deeper to the heart of Mexico. Wear comfy shoes, a lot of walking!
Excellent food and walking tour
Toni, Jun 2023
This was such a good way to explore the city with a local and visit places I wouldn't normally be able to go as a solo female traveler. The food was great, I got to explore new flaovors with my tastes taken into consideration, and I had plenty to take back to the hotel and eat later! I was stuffed!! My guide for the afternoon was Henry who was fantastic!! He was happy to answer all my questions and share insights into life in Mexico city.. everyone we met was friendly and he had great rapport with all the restaurant and market staff which made the day more entertaining
Fantastic local tour
Dana_H, Feb 2023
A great tour through the Centro neighborhood. Our tour guide, Belen, was knowledgeable and adorable. A great way to experience local food at places the locals frequent. I definitely recommend.
So much fun!!
PARMEET_A, Dec 2022
Fantastic tour! Our tour guide was Belen and she made the tour so much fun!! We visited La Merced and saw all kinds of exotic meats and got to try some mescal and crickets!! Then on to a taqueria with delicious tacos, followed by a visit to the oldest candy store in Mexico City. But that wasn’t the end of it! We tried tacos made with blue corn from a street taco place and ended our tour on a roof top bar (with amazing views) for a tequila and mescal tasting. We were completely stuffed and happy by the end of it.
Great guide and experience!

Belen was very knowledgeable about the history of Mexico. She also has a great sense of humor and was very pleasant to be around! Interesting food and great experience overall. Thank you!
10/10 Experience!
