Best Food Tour Ever - Joss and Sophie did a wonderful job navigating the streets and restaurants of Historic Mexico City in the midst of a presidential inauguration. This isn’t a quick tour. This tour, approximately 5 hours served as breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each restaurant was as good or better than the last. Each restaurant served generous portions. I’ve experienced other food tours in New Orleans and Rome, although good, not as good as this. Joss and Sophie also provided history of the foods, restaurants as well as the city.

Fun Food Tour! - We had a wonderful time on our food tour in Mexico City with Josset and Sophie. We sampled 8 or 9 unique types of Mexican foods, all delicious! Both guides did a great job of sharing lots of the history of the sites we stopped at and of Mexico City in general. Even though it lasted over 4 hours, the time passed quickly because there was so much to see and experience.

My stomach and I! - That’s me trying out the fried grasshoppers and after 6 stops I had to give up. The tour guides also added to every one’s adventure

Spectacular Day in CDMX Historic Area - It was excellent and a great way to explore the historic center. Our guides, Jimena and Sophia, were knowledgeable, energetic and fun! We visited many spots and tasted traditional foods….lots of delicious foods. We visited a very busy market which gives you a good feel of all the foods, vegetables/fruit, gifts, etc that are eaten by the local residents of the area.
