Our tour through the... - Our tour through the markets was led by Ivan and we had a wonderful time! He had all of the stops planned out and well organized. We got to try many different food items and received a souvenir along the way. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the markets as well as the products sold there. He made sure we got to view a good sampling of the various areas of these huge places - something that would have been extremely overwhelming without a guide. He was great about answering questions and helping us to make purchases along the way if we wanted. He was a lot of fun and made this tour a highlight of our trip. I highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic market tour with Dara and Denisse! - I had an amazing time on the Eat and Explore Local Markets tour in Mexico City! Dara and Denisse were fantastic guides—so friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. They introduced us to local vendors, explained the history and culture behind the markets, and made sure everything I ate was safe and delicious (I’m gluten-free and they were super thoughtful about it). The food was incredible and the whole experience felt authentic and personal. Highly recommend if you want to see the city like a local!

What a great experience... - What a great experience seeing the market. Our guide was very helpful and considerate as I had my two older parents with me. She also explained everything, not just the food but also the history of the market. Make sure you go hungry!

Worth it! - Great tour guide, Aremi! Saw so much, unusual fruits, moles, candies, insects if you're up for it, etc. Each market has its niche, for sure. Ate plenty of great market foods- taco, squash blossom blue corn quesadilla, Oaxaca tamale and mezcal tasting at end of tour. Highly recommend!
