Tuvimos una experiencia insuperable, conocimos más a fondo el centro histórico de la Ciudad de México; nos adentramos a probar tacos en un local mientras el guía nos contaba varios detalles interesantes. La verdad tenía mucho tiempo que no probaba unos tacos tan ricos. El highlight de este tour fue el Mercado de San Juan. ¡No te imaginas cuántas cosas exóticas hay en ese lugar! Al principio no me sentía muy animada a probar insectos, pero una vez que me atreví, quedé muy satisfecha con la experiencia. La recomiendo al 100% Gracias por hacernos sentir como en casa, si tuviera la oportunidad, volvería a repetir este tour 😊

¡Gran día! Súper entretenido, empezamos por centro histórico, el guía monísimo. Desde el inicio del tour fueron súper amables y acomedidos. El guía hablaba apasionadamente de la historia de su país, lo cual hizo que nos contagiara de su buena energía. Después del centro histórico nos dirigimos al mercado de san juan donde vimos platillos exóticos como hormigas, escorpiones y alacranes, yo no me animé pero mi acompañante si y le encantó, lo que sí probé fueron los tacos, porque hubiese sido imperdonable visitar México y no comer taquitos, los cuales fueron la cereza del pastel <3 Luego nos encaminaron hacia la ciudadela (mercado de artesanías) en donde hicimos un poco de compras, y terminamos con un glorioso shot de tequila, el cual nos dio parriba después de un largo día! En fin 10/10 No se arrepentirán ¡¡ Eso sí lleven zapatos cómodos y bloqueador!! 😉
