80 IQ Kids
The warriorsI created a program called 80 IQ (learn more here), were kids from La Merced Market learn English and, receive mentorships. During the weekends they practice their English on the tours, and they´ll host La Merced part showing you around the market where they were born and raised. This is an amazing opportunity for them to see the world through you, you can bring presents for them like candy and pictures from your city. The number of kids can change on each tour, but it goes from 1 to 5.

All walking culinary tours in Mexico City promote the best tourism practices, respect for the community you are visiting. I won't ask the vendors for discounts or commissions, you won't get overcharged, and people will learn to respect you too. You´ll learn from them and they´ll learn from you, my food tours promote cultural exchange.I transform tourists into travelers
As I am not a tour guide, I host Mexico City´s best food tours, I don´t herd tourists, I accompany travelers. Learn about my culture, my city and my people, eat like we eat, use the subway, visit local markets, avoid tourist traps and become a better traveler while taking a walking culinary tour .Committed to promoting economic growth
I run several social programs, from English lessons for kids at the markets, business advisory for single mothers, and travels with kids to open their horizons, if you book with me, part of your money will help to fund this programs. An important part of traveling is to leave the country you visited richer and better. Learn more HERE
