Mexico City Food Trips

Mexico exceeded all my expectations. The diversity of the people and culture held a surprise every day. The local people are so pleased to be welcoming tourists to the areas we visited. There was a strong police presence particularly on highway 99 in the Chiapas area but not threatening and indeed, in other areas, made us feel safe. The tour was very busy with early departures in order to be able to cover the itinerary. Nothing was too much trouble for our guide - Tacho, he was proud to tell us of his Mayan ancestry and history of Mexico. I would have liked to spend a night on the Chocolate farm in the highlands and Maybe, just one night in San Cristobel but other than that can’t see how you could cover the trip length without that long drive to Tuxtla (nearly 11 hours for us due to road blocks and minor bus problem).

I’m not a big ‘foodie’ but my partner is, so I was expecting to just tag along for the ride. However, I absolutely loved this trip. It had the perfect mix of relaxation, food tasting, adventure, independent exploration and educational visits. We visited a few weeks before Día de Muertos and each place was busy putting up decorations and preparing for the celebration. I’m glad we got to see these. As a wildlife lover, the speed boat trip through the Sumidero Canyon was a highlight for me. And we were pleased we opted to go on the Mount Alban trip as we had the whole site to ourselves for a while! Luis our guide, was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make the trip memorable for each person and we were very well looked after. There were a couple of long drives, but our minibus had reclining seats, USB charging ports on seat backs and we stopped frequently for comfort breaks. The scenery along the way was incredible and the journeys flew by!

Evelyn was fantastic - very knowledgable about the markets, but also very friendly to chat with while we were walking between places. She was also helpful in finding food samples that I could eat due to dietary preferences. It was a great way to spend my first morning in Mexico City. Thank you so much Evelyn and tour company for running the tour on a different day.

I fell in love with this tour operator and the way they offered me to explore the culture and people of Mexico! Devoted and careful guides, memorable activities. One of the most wonderful experience I've aver had during my trips. A must try, and beleive me, one adventure just won't be enough! I'm looking forward to continue my exploration of world with the guidance of this operator as soon as possible! Thank you guys, I had such a great time with you!

What an amazing experience! We learnt so much from our guide Luis. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We visited several markets during our tour, markets that we wouldn't have known about otherwise. He recommended a variety of different foods to try and helped us navigate the tube system. A great start to our Mexico adventure. Thank you so much. Kathleen & Shef

Excellent tour of the markets of Mexico City, our guide Evelyn was fun and knowledgeable. However I have done other food tours with this tour operator and was a bit disappointed that this one didn't include more food tasting.
