Wonderful tour—go hungry! - Tania led a right-sized group of eight on this outstanding food and cultural tour. The food and drink was all fabulous and represented diverse regions and cuisines of Mexico. Each place we visited was unique and marvelous in its own way; it was impossible to pick a favorite. We felt so fortunate to have Tania as our guide. She is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and responsive to questions. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that loves good food, is an adventurous eater, and is interested in the history and culture of Mexico City.

Highlight of our trip! - This was a wonderful tour and the highlight of our vacation to Mexico City. Joss, our tour guide, was so fun and knowledgeable. We learned about history as well as the food. She was also kind enough to give us some recommendations for Coyoacán since we were going there for the Frida Kahlo museum the next day. Those were incredible also and made our time there fantastic. We will certainly book that tour for our next trip to Mexico City, since we know we barely scratched the service there. Thank you, Joss!

Interesting & fun food tour. - Ximena was a super guide..young and vibrant…She made the tour fun and interesting. All the food tastings were delicious and it was a great way to start our trip in Mexico City as we could go back to some of the locations a second time! If you enjoy learning about the food culture in Mexico this tour is a must.

Great experience - Our tour guide Jimena was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. Each food stop had great offerings and they are adaptable to any food restriction you may have. A good mix of food and history. The tour length may seem long but the time really flew by and I’m glad to have booked

A lifetime experience - It was one my favorite things I have ever done! You have to be ready super early but I promise you it’s totally worth it! The views are unreal. Our guide was so sweet and knowledgeable. The breakfast in the cave and the cultural center visit were a perfect addition to the adventure

A CDMX must - If you're a foodie heading to Mexico City, do yourself a favor and book this food tour. It was one of the absolute highlights of my trip. Our guide Kiomi was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the local cuisine and history, but also super friendly and clearly passionate about Mexican food culture. We explored a mix of street food stalls, bustling markets, and a couple of hidden gems I never would have found on my own.

Warm Hospitality and a Relaxed Stroll Through the Historic Center - I took the Historic Center Food Tour with Sabores México and had a pretty good time overall. Our guide, Tania, was super friendly and made everyone feel welcome, which created a great group vibe. The pace was relaxed—we never felt rushed.
As for the food, it was a bit hit or miss for me. I really enjoyed the ceviche, the fruit salad stop, and La Mascota, but the rest of the tastings weren’t quite to my taste. If I had to choose, I definitely preferred the Tacos and Mezcal tour with Sabores México—it had more consistent flavor hits for me. Still, this tour is worth trying if you’re curious about the Historic Center and want a chill intro to local bites.
