“What a special way to roam this massive market in the heart of Mexico city ! The small group allows you to really have an intimate experience to ask questions, navigate the area without worrying of being cut off by the narrow lanes and busyness of it all! Our tour guide, Adrian, was wonderful. He had alot of experience and knowledge in the culinary field and was able to connect with myself and others on the tour, highlighting the uniqueness of the markets itself, the foods we were trying and was extremely helpful in all areas. Thank you! I definitely recommend to book this tour if it is your first…”

“A great experience where Axel gave us the history and background of Mexico City, took us to two food markets, tasted some delicious family food and ended with making some local homemade salsa for the full authentic experience. Shoutout to Axel who was an amazing host and took great care of us, he has great knowledge and his genuine connection with the community was unmatched! 10/10 guide and would highly recommend him”

“This is now the tour I will rate all other tours against. A truely amazing experience.”

“Wow wow wow!!! This tour is highly recommended. It exceeded all expectations... Gaby was lovely and really knows the Tepito area, present and past history. Gaby gave us a tour of the real Tepito through her eyes. We always felt safe. Gaby greeted us at the uber drop meeting point and also ensured she waited and got us in the uber to go home. Super friendly, felt so welcomed. Thank you”

“This a terrific tour for people looking to experience the non-touristy, traditional hustle and bustle of the Merced District and the Mercados. Our guide Pablo helped us navigate the depths of the Mercado Sonora and the Mercado Merced and we hardly saw any other tourists. We thoroughly enjoyed being led through the Mercado labyrinths. We loved experiencing the sights, colors, sounds and smells of local life. There is definitely a challenge level navigating through crowds so this is for good, confident walkers. We also enjoyed the stops for a michelada, juice, tastings of pre-Spanish era foods (that was a challenge!) and then 2-3 taco stops after. Pablo was open to…”

“I had an amazing time on the Eat and Explore Local Markets tour in Mexico City! Dara and Denisse were fantastic guides—so friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. They introduced us to local vendors, explained the history and culture behind the markets, and made sure everything I ate was safe and delicious (I’m gluten-free and they were super thoughtful about it). The food was incredible and the whole experience felt authentic and personal. Highly recommend if you want to see the city like a local!”

“Our guide Gabriel was awesome. He grew up around the market, so his knowledge of the food and culture made it fun and educational. The food sampled was the highlight for me. Too much to list. Highly recommend.”

“Knowing about the buildings of religious, governmental, and artistic natures. Going in and out of a few places and tasting the food. Being informed that the President of Mexico is living in that main building in the square where only foot traffic and markets are to be near his people! That meant a lot to him to me. I AM very pleased with how the tour guide informed me of so many things! He was professional yet down to earth where everybody enjoyed everything about the tour! Thank you! Ms JJ”

“I never made it to the tour because I got sick. I called to have it rescheduled for another day and they said no. If you want to book this tour DO NOT book ahead of time because they will not reimburse you or reschedule. I had not planned on getting diarrhea on my trip so they could’ve worked with me but didn’t.”

“Omar was a fantastic guide. He provided so much insight and knowledge about the wonderful culture connected to the markets we visited.”

“Amazing look into the barrio Tepito. I didn't see a single other tourist on this tour, so it felt super authentic and intimate. The tour guide Gabi is from Tepito herself and seems to know the place and its people like the back of her hand. Learning about the architecture, history and food was super interesting, but learning about what life is like in Tepito felt like a real privilege. At no point did it feel insecure. Can fully recommend.”

“Highly recommended, it is a different experience, a way to know the markets accompanied and with an excellent guide.Auto-translated”
