Very good experience visiting the key markets in Mexico City. - Our guide Aremy was very good. She brought us around the three markets and explained the different histories. She was flexible on our timing requirements. Very much recommended experience if one is in Mexico City.

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!

Just incredible! - Had an incredible day exploring the markets! Absolute must do when in Mexico City. Amery was extremely knowledgable, full of fun facts and interesting stories about the markets and the food. The food was incredible, some that we’d never be able to sample if it wasn’t for Amery’s recommendations. The mezcal tasting at the end was superb, with pairings and lots of character. Thanks again Amery for such a wonderful experience!

Lovely experience with great food and company - I was the only English speaking person on the tour but Dana made sure to keep me included. She flowed effortlessly from Spanish to English. You can really feel her passion and enthusiasm for Mexico City. We got to ride public transportation and experience the city as locals. It infused the excursion with warmth & joy. The food we ate was delicious, my only critique would be I wish we were able to eat some seafood at the third market.

Well organized and fun, a 4 hours well spent! - Ivan was a wonderful guide - it was a morning/early afternoon VERY well spent! The tour was very well organized and the 4 hours went by super quickly. We tried a wide variety of foods and beverages and learned a lot about Mexican markets (i.e. beyond just the food sold there) from Ivan, as well. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone looking to try authentic Mexican food and learn about food/market culture in addition to a little bit of spiritual/religious culture.
