Jorge was awesome! He was able to not just show us the food and the markets, but pass on the historical and cultural aspects of the Mexican culture and how it all blends together. There is a lot of walking on this tour, but that just makes the food tasting even better. Definitely a must do tour if you’re visiting Mexico City.

I had no idea what to expect on this tour, but it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip to Mexico City! Ernesto led us through a maze of markets that you would easily get lost in as a tourist, showing us some amazing gems in the endless sea of stalls, including a mole vendor whose various different samplings blew my socks off. We also walked through the historic center where he gave us insight into facets of Mexico City's history that even most locals are unaware of (including some unbelievable artwork that I won't spoil here.) With small bites and drinks along the way, you can expect a very chill and well-paced tour. Ernesto is a very knowledgeable guy, easy to talk to, and obviously cares deeply about making his tours the best experience. I honestly could not recommend it more. It's well worth the time and money. Wear some comfortable shoes. You'll be doing a lot of walking and enjoying every moment of it!
