Mexico City: Mystic Markets La Merced & Sonora Culinary Tour

5.Mystic Markets La Merced & Sonora Culinary Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 301 reviews · 4 hours · from $74

Spend four hours with a bilingual guide whose family roots may run through La Merced, tasting dishes at six to eight local stalls before visiting Sonora Market’s spiritual goods and witchcraft counters. Guides such as Gabriel and Estefania share market customs, food stories, and vendor connections. Bring comfortable shoes and an appetite.

“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!”

“To be honest we only bought this tour because it was the only way we could get tickets to La Casa Azul and I am so happy that it was! The tour covered a ton of Coyoacán, the history of the area, and of course a deep dive into Frida and Diego. There was more food than we were expecting which was a nice surprise. Daniella was absolutely great! Even when dealing with a particularly needy group member she handled it like an absolute pro. There is a strict entrance time at Casa Azul, but you can stay as long as you want which my wife very much enjoyed. We…”
