"Fantastic tour done at the right pace with great food and history / fun facts along the way. Definitely do not eat before hand - so much food and great value for money. Jimena the host was excellent!"
"Very good tour to discover Mexico City's wonderful food scene. Tania is an amazing guide who teaches interesting facts about buildings and places on the route and accomodates participants' interests. Very much to recommend."
"This is an amazing tour. Jossie was an amazing guide with lots of wonderful information about the food and the history of the Centro Historical District. Come hungry! Many of us could not finish all of the food, but not for lack of trying. I loved meeting the other tour participants and getting to know them. Highly recommend this tour."
"Jimena did a fantastic job introducing us to the Historical city center of Mexico City while enjoying some amazing dishes along the way. This tour had 10 stops, most with significant tastings. Tons of food and a great tour guide made for a fun afternoon!"
