Description

There is one version of Monterrey that is not listed in any travel guides. It is loud, chaotic, authentic and completely real. We take you for a walk in the neighborhoods where people live. You will visit a local market that will awaken all your senses, taste tacos that Regiomontanos have enjoyed for generations and discover corners that few visitors know. Every stop has a story. Every bite, an origin. This is not a tour designed for tourists. It is an authentic walk, with real food, through a city that holds more stories than you imagine. Ready to discover Monterrey that few visitors get to discover? FOODS AND TASTINGS INCLUDED! We recommend comfortable and light clothing, sunscreen and cap. The tour is outdoors. IMPORTANT: THIS EXPERIENCE IS FOR TRAVELERS WHO ARE CURIOUS, ADAPTABLE AND WHO LIKE TO LEAVE THEIR COMFORT ZONE. NOT SUITABLE FOR VEGANS OR VEGETARIANS.
