**Keep in mind this is a mass celebration, markets will be crowded, come with an open mind and a relaxed attitude ready to enjoy.
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.
The tour is not only about food but also about history and fun facts, covering 3 neighborhoods including Jamaica (the flower market) and La Merced Market. We will give you an amazing comprehension of the city, its people, and daily life.
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 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.
