“Fascinating tour of a part of Mexico City that we would never have ventured into. Gabriel (our guide) grew up in the markets, so certainly knows the people in the market and the many secrets that live there. His suggestions on tastings were right on—no disappointment on any of his suggestions of what to try. The tour of the 2nd market was eye-opening—learning about the combination of traditional religión with additional beliefs is not something that we have seen before (except in a few places in New Orleans, LA (USA). We highly recommend this tour, expecially with Gabriel as your guide!”

And I'm sure they are all good tours, but if you want to have a unique experience with a local then look no further than this one led by Liz.

“I am super grateful to tour organizer and guide Sharon, for introducing me and five other U.S. vegans to such a variety of vegan Mexican food while also introducing us to multiple neighborhoods and public transportation. The logistics were flawless too -- I appreciated how she called or texted ahead to some of the businesses while we were en route, to reduce our wait time once we arrived. We started with a park stand that offered a sampling of quesadillas, sopes and tlacoyos made with pre-Hispanic ingredients including huitlacoche (a mushroom), nopales, and squash blossoms.
