About this experience

What to expect

Eat, explore, and connect with the real Mexico City on this immersive food and culture experience. Visit hidden local markets, sample traditional street foods, ride public transit, and learn to make authentic Mexican salsa during a hands-on lesson. Discover the flavors, traditions, and everyday life that most visitors never get to experience.

Before you go

• Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
• Bringing valuables? Best to leave passports, credit cards, and other valuables at your hotel. Just bring a small amount of spending cash.
• Planning to take photos? Only small cameras are allowed — large professional gear isn’t suitable for this experience.
• Visiting during rainy season (May to September)? A raincoat or umbrella is highly recommended to stay dry while exploring the markets.
• Want to support local communities? This tour directly benefits independent market vendors and family-run businesses.
• Expecting a light stroll? This tour covers around 6 km (3.7 miles) of walking through bustling markets and city streets. It can be quite strenuous for those not used to walking long distances.
• Need vegetarian, gluten-free, or lactose-free options? We’re happy to accommodate these dietary requirements — just let us know at least 24 hours before your tour so we can prepare accordingly.
• Wondering what to wear? We recommend dressing conservatively, as we’ll be visiting non-touristy areas. Long trousers or jeans and a t-shirt are ideal.
