Skip the tourist trap restaurants and devour your way through Mexico City’s best-kept culinary secrets on a small-group food tour. Arrive with an empty stomach, as you'll need room for carnitas, escamocho, enchiladas, botanas, and other classic dishes. In between bites, enjoy stops outside the historic center's top attractions, including Palacio de Mineria, House of Tiles, and the Historic Synagogue Justo Sierra 71.

A Not-To-Be Missed Tour

Eduardo was an engaging and informative guide. Our family group of four was fortunate enough to have him all to ourselves. We learned more about Mexican food and had numerous delicious culinary experiences in some unusual places. Thanks to Eduardo's lively commentary, we also picked up a good deal of information about Mexican history and culture, especially its art. The areas visited, the food selections and the tour length were perfect for us. Thanks for a great day!

A super day in Centro.....

Raul was a terrific guide and the tour was way beyond our expectations. He presented a mix of food, history, local lore, and a deep knowledge of Centro with a wonderful personality and sense of humor. I shall happily recall our day with him for quite some time!
