Had a tour with Andres and he was awesome! Very personable and his history education background helped us really get a feel for events that made Mexico City the city it is today. Food was excellent and a nice mix of street food and small taquerias. We also really enjoyed biking and had the tour to ourselves. Already recommend this activity to people we have crossed paths with in CDMX.

Book this trip! Me and my friends still talk about it. We had the most wonderful time doing this tour. It was informational and very fun. We tried a lot of different foods and got to learn the history behind each dish. Our tour guide helped us through markets and street vendors. My favorite was the freshly made still warm tortilla with some salt. We were so full by the end. I appreciated the guides dedication to safety. I felt extremely safe the entire time on our bikes.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience traveling through Mexico City with our guide, Andres. Andres was friendly and knowledgeable of the City’s history, monuments and food culture. We went on a Monday, when portions of Chapultepec Park were closed off but we were granted access which gave the tour a relaxed, VIP feel. We also went through the Reforma, Juarez, Roma and Contreras neighborhoods with a number of stops to learn about the area’s street food offerings, history and architecture. The ride felt safe the whole time even though we through City streets of various sizes. I give this tour my highest recommendation. Muchas gracias, Andres!

Our bike tour with Angel was fantastic. We had two adults and two teens and the tour was great for all of us. We felt safe riding, learned a ton of interesting history about Condessa, Roma, Juarez, etc, tried a variety of delicious food, and loved seeing so many neighborhoods in one swoop. The insider perspective the trip offered was fantastic and I’d absolutely do it again. We’re still taking about the tamales, quesadilla, snacks, and sites a week later.
Tour guide was amazing, would definitely recommend if you're visiting Mexico City for the first time. It was a great experience to be able to eat like a local and learn more about the history of this place. Unfortunately, it started pouring during the last hour of our tour and we had to walk the bikes 45 minutes back to the shop. We fell into several puddles, with many of us tripping over the bikes and slipping on the sidewalk. The manager of the tour was informed of the weather and our situation, but did not offer any help. We were hoping there would be a driver to retrieve our bikes since things like this must happen all the time, but the manager of the tour did not offer any sort of help.
