Markets private tour: La Ciudadela, Sonora, San Juan & Lagunilla
Description
One of the best things to do in Mexico City during Mondays when all museums are closed and also for the Lagunilla's Sunday funday :) Markets are Mexican culture at its best. They are an essential part of the country where you feel immersed in art, traditions, colors, flavors, music and magic You'll visit 3 markets: La Ciudadela (the largest handcraft market in Mexico), San Juan (understand why and how the Mexicas ate insects) and Sonora Market (where traditional plant medicine - Herbolaria & esotericism meet). There's also an option that includes a STREET FOOD TOUR And if you're here on a Sunday, we recommend La Lagunilla option. Part of the biggest street market in the world where you can find everything from clothing, to antiques, drinks, art, improvised sonidero raves and even artists that will give you a haircut or a tattoo At Frida Tours, we not only give tours, we craft memories. Plus, we're the only tour agency in Mexico owned & operated by women for all kinds of travelers.

Gabriela is so knowledgeable and led us on such an exciting cultural and historical tour! Would absolutely come back!!
We came to Mexico City from Texas, for our honeymoon. We booked this experience at the last minute. We booked the private tour with Gabriela. The tour was fantastic! Gabriela was knowledgeable and assisted us through every step of the journey. From food recommendations to vendor haggling to helping us with our very limited Spanish, she was a gem and would highly recommend this experience to anyone. I wish she could’ve given us a full Mexico City tour. I will be booking more tours with this company when we return. And hopefully Gabriela will be our guide.
Highly recommended, it is a different experience, a way to know the markets accompanied and with an excellent guide.
Loved it, Excellent accompaniment with the guides, meeting new places has been wonderful. I highly recommend it
A fun experience; nothing like a good “miche” accompanied by culture, colors and a lot of history. Excellent guide, cute and with the best layout. At all times I felt safe. I definitely recommend it, to go with friends and connect in a different way.
Our guide helped us with the gift shopping we had to do and explained in detail about the dishes we tried. I didn't dare try the insects, but I ordered a quesadilla with a delicious type of corn. Very interesting crafts and local culture.
