"Dara was lovely and knowledgeable."

We loved our tour with Dara. She was a darling guide, super knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with.

"Fun and informative"

Ho showed us three interesting markets in Mexico City. Delicious quesadillas, tacos and tamales were highlights ending with a Medical tasting.

"Our market tour was great."

Our market tour exceeded all expectations. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the markets and took the time to answer all of our questions both about the markets and many other things. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the markets of Mexico City.

"Lots of fun"

I really liked that the group was small. It made it much easier to get through the markets. The guide was very personable and informative. Nice selection of items to taste. All around, it was an enjoyable 4 hours.

"Great way to see local markets, sample local food and more"

The tour was a really great experience. The local fresh food market at the start was amazing. Such a great variety of foods (and coffee) to sample. The guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The second market was very unique and fun to see. The final market offers items that you truly won't find anywhere else. The mezcal tasting at the end was the perfect way to cap off a fantastic tour. The guide (Ho) was very friendly and his knowledge was A+. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting a less touristy tour that goes where the locals go.
