Mexican food is famous worldwide and rightly recognized as Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage. That said, eating in Mexico might differ from the Mexican food you know from the restaurant in your hometown. Mexican food has to be experienced at its source.
From your arrival, our team will ensure a seamless and luxurious experience. Begin with a visit to the Tequila and Mezcal Museum, where you'll explore the artisanal process of these iconic beverages and enjoy tastings paired with a delightful dinner overlooking Garibaldi Square.
The next day, dive into the rich history of Mexico City with a walking tour of its Historical Center, followed by a gastronomic adventure in the vibrant Polanco neighborhood. Discover authentic Oaxacan cuisine, Mexican cantinas, and top-rated tacos.
As the tour progresses, immerse yourself in the artistic heritage at the Frida Kahlo Museum and the natural beauty of Xochimilco's canals. End your tour with an optional hot air balloon ride over Teotihuacan's pyramids, a comprehensive archaeological site visit, and a culinary workshop. Conclude with a brunch at the Ritz Carlton before your departure, leaving you with lasting memories of Mexico's flavors and culture.
In this five-day foodie tour, we will help you become a Mexican cuisine expert.

They say it’s the tour leader who makes or breaks a trip, and for me, this couldn’t be truer. Luis Flores brought this whirlwind adventure to life with his warmth, kindness, passion for his country, and enduring patience—all matched by his brilliant, boyish sense of humour, which was a bonus. Behind the company logo is a man of immense grace and generosity—a true superstar in countless subtle ways. He’s not just someone who leads you through a place but someone who helps you connect with its soul and its people.
This trip was a vibrant tapestry of breathtaking sights, iconic landmarks, and mouthwateringly delicious cuisine (with portions that were often humongous—wear stretchy trousers!). Add to that the genuine, heartwarming hospitality of the people we met, and it was an experience like no other.
The long, scenic drives became opportunities to daydream out the window, snooze in readiness for the next adventure (or “meditate,” as Luis fondly called these sleepy and quiet moments), or share conversations that added even more richness to the journey—or, occasionally, for me to ask, “Are we nearly there?”
Was it perfect? No. Could some things have been better? Yes, of course. But I came hoping for an authentic, enriching experience—and that’s precisely what I got.
If you’re considering this trip, come with an open mind and heart and be ready to let the magic unfold. Drink in the numerous sensorial moments of wonder. There are so many “wow, wow, wow” moments—turning a corner and seeing something genuinely magnificent alongside enchanting flora and fauna (sadly, no jaguars made an appearance). For me, this was a genuinely enriching and transformative journey.
In all honesty, I was hesitant to book after a really disappointing experience with an Explore guide earlier this year. It felt like a huge risk to trust you again, especially since this was a 2-week trip and tour leaders are beyond your control. But I’m so glad I did and am deeply grateful for the experience.
