Fantastic way to learn more about Mexico City history, while eating your way thru the day! Bring an appetite! At least 6-7 stops, all the good was delicious. Some off the beaten path places with great food. Rigel, our guide, was fantastic! Knowledgeable, passionate about Mexican food, history, and culture. It was quite easy to spend 5+ hrs with him! There are alot of food tour options in Mexico City. This one was exceptional! Highly recommend!
