Terrific tour with lots of local flavor! - I had a great time exploring the Mercados with Alejandro! He shared a lot about life in Mexico as well as the food and the markets, and made adjustments as we went to navigate stops not being open yet (we went early). He humored my many questions and I felt like I was hanging out with a friend (vs. touring with a guide) - so much fun! Highly recommend!

Excellent tour - The tour was excellent! As a visitor, it would be easy to feel overwhelmed in such a large market and not know what food to try, but we made four excellent stops (at 2 markets and one on the street). In addition to the "official" stops, the guide explained everything wonderfully. We learned a lot about the history of the markets and the neighborhood. The guides were very friendly, curious and informative. I highly recommend it!

Great food, interesting places - This is my second tour with this company, and I wouldn't have gone back if it wasn't good.
Full disclosure: I did not pay for this tour but agreed to give an honest review. I have not tried other food tours in the city for comparison, but hope to at some point.
This tour was shorter than the other one and the amount of food was much more manageable. We got a large beverage, quesadilla, taco, fresh tortilla and dessert, so most people should be able to eat everything given to them, but not walk away hungry.
It was nice to get some history of the neighborhood and exposure to some foods I might not have tried otherwise, though if you're looking for something truly "exotic" you will want to return to the market afterward or on your own. The most "exotic" we got was venison, which is pretty normal fare for many. The market does however offer a variety of insects, arachnids and less commonly found game.
The tour is offered in Spanish and English, we all agreed to Spanish. Groups are small and they come prepared with weather contingencies in mind. There is seating at the stops, for anyone concerned with the level of physical activity, though there were some crowded areas and busy streets to cross so does require some caution.
Overall a pleasant way to have an interesting lunchtime experience that's a bit outside of the ordinary and gives you a taste of traditional Mexican foods you won't find at the more tourist targeted places
