Our guide is a chef herself and was extremely knowledgeable about the local ingredients, and answered all of our questions thoughtfully and with very helpful and insightful information. She also had great suggestions for food and other things to explore throughout our trip both in CDMX and at our next stop, Oaxaca. If you are looking for a fun, relaxing way to experience a few different restaurants in a short time while in CDMX/Polanco, we highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Daniella was wonderful - knowledgeable, passionate and very helpful with our many questions. She is from the area and spoke excellent English. As this was our first full day, we will return to some of the same places to eat during the rest of our trip. Thank you Daniella for a memorable afternoon!”
Ride through Condesa, Roma, Chapultepec, and Juarez on a small-group bike food tour, tasting classic bites and learning neighborhood stories in English.
“The two guides were very nice. Their knowledge of the sites we saw was limited. We spent a lot of time on our own seeing the Mercado and park. There could have been more information about the history of the areas we visited. The group of people on our excursion were all very nice.”
Explore Mercado Melchor Muzquiz and Mercado Jamaica on a small-group morning, taste street food, then make salsa in a molcajete.

“Our tour was an excellent way for us to learn a good deal about the history of Mexico City while seeing some of the wonderful parks, monuments and interesting sites throughout the heart of the city. Our guide, Ishmael, was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the city. He also was very accommodating- he took numerous photos for us, and adjusted the tour to spend more time in areas we hadn’t seen yet. Lunch was simple (tacos), delicious and authentic. The bikes were very easy to use, and the electronic assist made the tour that much better. We make it a point to take bike tours in the cities we…”
Mexico City street food tour with a guide ordering, tons of bites, juice, and candy, plus a chocolate stop in Juárez. English, small group.
“The food selection was good, there were lots of things in the menu which I wanted to try and others which I had never heard of and was good to have an opportunity to try. The negatives about the experience were that the tour felt rushed, and I have to add that I found this to be a very overpriced experience, specially because on top of the expensive tour you also have to tip the guide. I understand that tips are part of Mexican culture but when compering the cost of the tour plus the tip against the cost of the food that we were given it’s definitely overpriced.”
Sample meat-free Mexican street food across CDMX neighborhoods on a small-group walk, with beer included and plenty of local history.
“You will have a delightful culinary experience, flavored with neighborhood explorations and seasoned with some Mexican history.”

You get to see so much more than you would on foot, enjoy the fresh air, take in the aromas from street vendors, and feel truly connected to the rhythm of the city—all without the stress of traffic. It’s a bike-friendly place, which made the ride smooth and enjoyable. My guide, Mario, was exceptional. He has a genuine gift for connecting with people. I’ve done many tours across different countries, and he stands out as one of the very best. Spending the day with him felt like hanging out with a friend—someone who not only…”
