Great foodie experience - Alejandro was the ideal guide and knew many great options to introduce me to the local cuisine. As a solo traveler it is important to feel safe and I could not have asked for a better evening. The food was delicious and I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to others. Thank you Alejandro!

Must do in CDMX! - This tour was amazing! Great food, history, culture and knowledgeable guide! Yael was really good at sharing his passion for the culture and food. We visited more than 5 food spots and he described the culture and history of the dishes and his personal story with them, made it all the more meaningful! I highly recommend this tour!
