Enjoyed the food and interaction with Salvatore was great. He explained a lot of the history behind the food and took us to restaurants that we would not have found ourselves Only downside was that the city was extremely busy with the world cup being on and many roads were changed to one way streets. Salvatore had to change his tour to accommodate this
Hola Gary! Thank you for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed your tour with Salvador. Best wishes :)
Maria was a fantastic guide! The food we had was delicious, and Maria was accommodating and friendly. I loved hearing about the history of various cuisines and her own experiences with regional Mexican cuisine. She even shared some additional recommendations for the city as we continue exploring. I appreciated that the tour did not feel pushy or overly touristy. This was our first tour of the week and she was an excellent start. The larger “Eating with Carmen” team was also very communicative and helpful. Thank you so much! I would recommend this tour greatly.
Hola Samantha! Thank you for your review and recommendation. I’m glad your experience was good with Maria and all the team, and you enjoyed the local tour through Mexico City. Best wishes :)
We had a wonderful morning with Hugo and Alex as our guides. Lots of lovely tastes of genuine Mexican food and chat about Mexico City itself. Finished up with coffee and cake. Wow!
Alejandro was the ideal guide and knew many great options to introduce me to the local cuisine. As a solo traveler it is important to feel safe and I could not have asked for a better evening. The food was delicious and I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to others. Thank you Alejandro!
Had multiple foods in various setting in Historico Centre… Girard was a great guide and walking partner Bakeries are the BEST
