MEXICAN FOOD 101 – MARKETS + STREET FOOD

Lots of walkingLots of stairsGluten FreeSubway RideKids pay full price

Vegetarian options available

This is our best seller itinerary and also my favorite,  you´ll learn everything you need to know about Mexico City, from subway navigation to street food, little cafes, bakeries and of course, the markets. Walk around the flowers, taste the best food,  absorb the overwhelming chaos of my city, the food, the smells, and the people.

If you found us through The New York Times “36 hours in Mexico City” but are not comfortable with a real-life adventure or moments of discomfort we kindly advise you not to book this experience.  Hospitality is one of our core values we will always go above and beyond  to make this tour special and memorable. However there’s only so much we can do to soften the true nature of the places we visit.  Chaos is part of the experience, and embracing it is essential.

If you decide to come with us you´ll need to awaken your explorer within, there will be chaos, there will be crowds, you´ll ride the subway and climb lots of  subway stairs, you´ll walk a lot and the weather will be hot, but if you accept the challenge  of stepping out of your comfort zone, you´ll get to see a side of the city rarely experienced by convencional tourists.

Bring an open mind and heart, a go with the flow attitude, comfortable shoes and an empty stomach and you are set to have a great tour.
