Unforgettable Food Tour!

We just finished our tour, and it was fantastic! The only downside is that we’re completely stuffed—but that’s a good problem to have. Our guide, Tania, was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly knowledgeable not only about the amazing food, but also the architecture, history, and culture of this beautiful city. She made every stop more meaningful with her insights, and on top of that, she was warm, engaging, and an absolute delight to spend the day with. 100% Would recommend!

A delicious and fun way to spend an afternoon!

We really enjoyed our food tour experience. We’ve done quite a few food tours, and my daughter said that this was her favorite. Our guide, Jimena, was excellent. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and fun. The tour’s pace was very nice. We weren’t rushed, yet nothing seemed too long. Likewise, we had a nice amount of walking without the tour feeling like a long hike. The food was excellent everywhere we stopped, and we sampled a broad array of dishes. Plus, we visited a good variety of establishments. Jimena did a nice job accommodating my vegetarianism, too—thanks. This was a fun afternoon!

Excellent food tour of Mexico City Historic district!

Jimena (I hope I am spelling this correctly) was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable, entertaining & gave us lots of other recommendations for the rest of our trip. We ate so many delicious & unusual things including insects and worms! I would highly recommend this tour - five hours flew past & the rest of the group were great fun too.

Delicious and interesting food tour of the historic centre

Get yourself a reservation on this tour — it’s so much fun and so interesting and SO delicious. If you’re lucky, you’ll get the wonderful Miriam as your guide, and you’ll have the best day of your visit to Mexico City. Miriam is knowledgeable and friendly and really adept at making a group of people feel welcome and looked after. She put each dish in context, knew the history of each location, answered all our questions, and handled all the complex logistics with aplomb. I’d do another tour with this company in a heartbeat—especially if Miriam was the guide.

Culinary Mexico

A very exciting trip with Jossie, which both gave insight into Mexico’s culinary part and Mexico City’s history. Some very exciting stops along the way that we had never found on our own.

Had an amazing experience on this foodie tour of Mexico City. Loved going to the market and a traditional cantina. Had a llot of interesting and delicious dishes. Our guide, Jossette was friendly and knowledgeable. She had these great flash cards with historical figures that enhanced the entire experience. I would recommend Jossette to anyone planning a trip to CDMX.

The tour is well organised. The timing and pacing is good. The guide Jimena is knowledgeable, well organised, helpful, very friendly and she made us feel very comfortable. The food at the restaurants we went to is good and the drinks selection is good too.

Perfect food tour with Jossie

This tour was absolutely amazing! We visited so many different places, tried tons of tasty dishes, and listened to so many interesting stories. Our guide, Jossie, was super nice and knows absolutely everything about Mexico City. The tour itself is a 10/10, but Jossie is a 100/10! This is an absolute must-do!

Amazing food walking tour in CDMX

This is a must do tour if you're visiting CDMX! Usually I would just do a walking tour but the opportunity to combine it with food is the right choice! Our tour guide, Jossie, was unbelievable! She managed a group with ease and made sure everyone was looked after! She is very knowledgeable about the local culture, history and food! She definitely ticked all the boxes as this is the definite highlight of my trip, I learned a lot about the culture and food, and we definitely did not go hungry! All the tastings were delicious with my fave being the ceviche tostada! Do yourself a favour and book this tour, you won't regret it! Gracias Jossie!!!
