Delicious family friendly food tour - We did the kid friendly tour and it was great. Adrian was really great with our toddler. The variation of food was amazing. Would highly recommend their family tour for any one with little kids.

Must Do! - This food tour was amazing. We tried about 10 different street foods that were all delicious. Our guide, Clara, was extremely thoughtful in sharing information about the history of the food. One of us is vegan, and that was easily accommodated. Clara also gave us great recommendations for markets and sites to see during our visit. We highly recommend this experience!

Don’t miss this tour! - We were 3 adults and 2 older teens and we had a wonderful time and learned so much. Clara was amazing from minute one—I messed up our reservation (wrong day) and she and her manager were quickly able to rectify my error and off we went. She was so well versed in the culture and ingredients and clearly had great rapport with the vendors she introduced us to. This was our fifth trip to Mexico and we ate things I had never tried before—and they were all awesome. We’ve already booked another trip to CMDX and we’ll be booking another tour with Eat Mexico!

Food for Days - We loved this food tour! Our guide, Fernando, was amazing having known much about Mexico, it's different regions, and various foods. He was very happy to answer any questions we had, and provided us with generous portions from all of the vendors. We would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent introduction to street food and local history - Wish I'd been able to do this tour at the beginning of my stay in Mexico City. Got to try a wide variety of delicious street food (not limited to tacos!) and learnt an awful lot about the history of Mexico City. Also got some great recommendations for 'must see' places to visit whilst in the city. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, looked after us very well and super enthusiastic about his home city. Highly recommended - go hungry and there's lots to eat!

Culinary adventure - Had a one of a kind day today, eating my way through the Jamaica market with a fantastic group of women teachers from Georgia, and a very knowledgeable and skilled guide, Clara. We had so much fun, and she really spent a lot of time making sure we understood the history A farming and agriculture and the origin of the foods, the economic importance, as well as enjoying all the many treats we had. it was a great way to learn about the culture, and I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for something different

great food tour of cdmx - Clara was an amazing guide! This food tour was amazing because she was so knowledgeable about everything. Even though there were a few things that we didn't like as much- we understood why they were included because of their historical/cultural significance. Left so stuffed- we couldn't even finish everything and ended up splitting things, so come hungry! Great tour.

Great Tour! - I just did a tour with Nico. I was the only one that was booked that day but the tour still went ahead which was great for me. I made the mistake of eating a light breakfast that morning and should have just started the tour with an empty stomach because I got so full so quickly! My advice would be to do this tour as soon as you hit Mexico because it will help you get a feel of how street food operates in Mexico so you can go off afterwards and try more street food on your own.
