Cesar was the best tour guide and our entire group enjoyed every minute of it! The tacos were amazing, the micheladas and beers were refreshing and Cesar was very knowledgeable. We would’ve never known where to go or what anything was if we didn’t have Cesar. Would definitely recommend!

The tour was very good and very comprehensive. You see a different side of Mexico City not easily seen by 'regular tours'. Our guide Jorge was very knowledgeable and explained everything in a fun and engaging way!! Highly recommended!!! *****

Elissa was amazing taking us to the most local spots for markets and food. We learned so much about the History of Mexico City and Merced. She was very knowledgeable of the food, ingredients, history. I highly recommend.
