Nico is the best!! - This was one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico City. It was an amazing experience being shown all the local street food that we wouldn’t have tried or known about otherwise. Our guide Nico was fantastic and very knowledgeable.

Fantastic guide; spectacular tour - We visited a local market, where I tasted cheeses, fruits and special spreads. Also tasted a torta at a place on the street where there were only locals. We concluded at another local restaurant which I never would have found on my own, and we walked around a neighborhood in Mexico City which I also would not have explored on my own. I learned facts about the local history and architecture from my friendly and very knowledgeable guide Yimnah Rosas. It was supposed to be a group tour, but for whatever reason I was the only guest so of course that added to the experience. I could have had one more tasting at the end, but was too full!

Amazing solo adventure with a great guide - The food was amazing! Clara was a phenomenal tour guide. She knew so much about the history of the food and we had plenty of stops I had to force myself to try the last 2 things because they were so good, and I was so full. I would recommend to anyone no matter your experience with the food of Mexico City.

Great way to experience part of Mexico City would never see otherwise - Our tour with Nico was first rate. We learned more about tacos than I could have possibly imagined. We also had an interesting stop in a genuine Mexico City, Cantina, which was slightly reminiscent of the bar scene in Star Wars. Very worth seeing. Nico himself is a fountain of information and extremely well qualified for the position he holds. Finishing the night with a Mezcal tasting by a restaurant owner who has deep expertise in Mezcal was a wonderful closing touch. We highly recommend this tour

Do this - you won't regret it! - This is a tour that I will recommend to friends and would love to do again! Our tour guide was Fernando, and he was fantastic. You really do learn a lot about the city and Mexico. The food selections were great and I got to try food that I hadn't before. One highlight for me was the pambazo sandwich - later in our trip we went to go find these again! I also loved ending at La Rifa Chocolatería. I had been there on our previous trip and was hoping to go back - and it makes for a great end to the tour because you can sit and chat and ask any other questions. Fernando was also really knowledgeable about Mexico in general and had a lot of great recommendations for us for future trips. We did the 9:30 am tour which seemed a little early to me at first, but it was great! So many street vendors are out and busy at that time and it was a well paced few hours of eating. Loved it!!

Amazing CDMX Street Food Tour - We had a great street food tour with our guide, Fernando! He took us to a lot of local spots and let us try tacos, tortas and other things we hadn’t tried before! He was very fun and had a great attitude! When we asked to try things that weren’t part of the scheduled tour he was very accommodating!

A Street treat not to miss - This was a blast - cannot recommend it too highly. Our guide, Fernando, was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and empathetic. His tour was balanced to perfection with great and diverse street food and an insider’s guide to the markets. We ate everything from blue crab to turkey, from fruits to cheeses Mexican style and even tried insects and worms - everything was delicious. Street food is such an important part of Mexican culture you miss so much if you do not try it. And no digestive issues afterwards.

Highlight of our CDMX visit - Oh boy, this tour was the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Toti, made the experience awesome. She was full of interesting and relevant information, and she tailored her explanations to our experience with Mexican food and the Spanish language. She ordered things we wouldn't typically order, which gently pushed us to try delicious new things My advice: come hungry, and don't be afraid to not finish an item.
