Good gluten free experience - This tour was the highlight of my time in Mexico City. Jimena was an exceptional tour guide: she provided cultural and historical context for several significant landmarks we passed in the city, she could explain the origin story of every establishment we ate at, and she gave a clear explanation of all of the dishes we sampled. I especially appreciated that Jimena made sure that I didn’t eat any gluten - I’m gluten intolerant, and had something good to eat at every stop regardless. I can’t speak to how safe it would be for Celiacs or a gluten allergy. This tour was the perfect mix of eating, sightseeing, and learning.

Ancient culture and wonderful country - Mexico is a beautiful country, worth visiting, for its history, for its culture, for its gastronomy and for its natural beauties. Beautiful everything and in particular the city of Oaxaca, which is a perlita!!

Best Tour We’ve Ever Taken! - Wow! This was such an amazing experience! I now see why this tour has such a high rating - it’s well deserved. Our tour guide was Tamara and she was FANTASTIC. She not only guided us through foods and experiences that we never would have had otherwise, she also taught us local history and made the city come alive for us. She was incredibly entertaining, kind and knowledgeable. Our family is so glad that we took this tour during our visit to Mexico City. I highly recommend that you do the same.

Excellent guide, just too long - Our guide was fantastic. Tons of historical and cultural information alongside the food! I loved the tour but felt like 5 hours is just too long to be eating and walking. Three hours would have been perfect. There’s only so much you can eat! We were exhausted by the end. About half the food was great. The seafood ceviche stand was amazing. Towards the end the penultimate stop is at a place that blasts music so loud and by then we really had had enough. Guide was excellent. Just too much.
