We have been on many food tours, including in Mexico City, and have very much enjoyed all of them,…read moreuntil this one. It was such a waste of time and money we thought maybe we were on some kind of spoof show. No variety in the food, which was some of the most mediocre - at best - we have had in our numerous trips to Mexico City. It was like a food tour in New York that takes you to Burger King, McDonalds, and Subway. The whole experience was so unsatisfactory that we requested a refund, which the owner agreed to but then ghosted us. That should tell you something. We had to finally reach out to the credit card company who agreed to the refund over the owner's objections. Contrary to the owner's strange view of things, we have never asked for our money back for any kind of eating experience, and I have over 240 reviews on a different platform. Buyer beware, this "tour" is not as advertised.

We ended up getting our tickets and bracelets to get us on and off the bus. We decided to do the red line (Centro Historico) and yellow line (Polanco) within the allotted time. I liked the red line since it had plenty of stops and nice photo opps. The yellow line also had some nice stops on it, but the action seemed to be with the red line. The staff at the stop we were at, Monumento a la Independencia (Angel) made sure we went to the proper location for the bus. Seeing our limited Spanish speaking abilities, they were able to explain this in English. That was nice of them to do, ensuring that we all were in the right spots. Timing was listed as every 10 to 15 minutes for the frequency of buses, which was correct (aside from unpredictable traffic). Announcements were made for the approximate length of the tour, with extra time needing to be taken to account for traffic. I liked that they had the option of which language to give background information at each stop, but I would've wanted more detail and in depth explanations. They provided headphones with 10 options for language, volume control, and USB/USB-C plugs. Just be careful if you ride on the top and when it's hot out, because it gets pretty warm and you may run the risk of your phone overheating. When we were on the yellow line, the driver gave some extra tidbits of information, but seemed that he only explained in Spanish. Note: if you're on the top part of the bus/open air area, make sure to be careful since it is full of trees and you could easily get smacked by leaves or branches if you're not careful. We stopped during part of the red line route to grab a bite to eat, and when we were attempting to get on the green line transfer, were informed that due to our time (about 5:30pm) we would only make it for one of the stops, since the closing time for the bus tour is 7pm (open 9am). All in all good value if you want to see the city in limited time and for a good overview of the sights.

After much translation efforts, the explanation was, "we don't go there on Mondays, the museums are closed." However we had other sights we'd arranged tours on at the missed stop. 3) The Turibus website information is inaccurate. No mention of Polanco route changes on Mondays (obviously). We were told the intervals between all buses, all routes was about an hour, depending on traffic, not what's indicated on the website. 4) We Uber to our Louis Berrigan Casa tour, since Polanco route doesn't go there on Mondays. 5) Like fools, we then took the Central route. Again, some stops were skipped. A lot of people were standing at the door, and the driver never stopped. 6) I will not use Turibus again. I do NOT recommend it. Get around by Uber. More direct, more convenient and inexpensive.

We met the tour group at the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral and proceeded with the walking tour to the surrounding areas. The tour group was around 8 individuals and the tour was conducted in English. Emiliano was an excellent guide who not only knew the detailed ins and outs of the city and its history but also was extremely friendly and helpful. My wife did a lot of research before booking this tour and was a little hesitant due to its low cost ($15 per person) relative to other tours, however, our expectations were blown away from the beginning as Emiliano deftly answered all of our questions and provided a great base of knowledge on how the city was formed. I'd recommend you bring some bottled water for the tour...it got quite hot during our 3-hour walk. If you have kids with you like we did, bring some snacks too:) You can purchase water or thirst-quenching drinks from some of the vendors or stores around the tour route. Also, if you are pressed to go to the bathroom, the tour guide will point you to some stores with clean restrooms. Overall, a great experience, and I would highly recommend this walking tour if you happen to be in Mexico City and have 3 hours to spare...we learned a lot!

We were fortunate to have Alan (English guide) and Alex (Spanish guide), and our driver was Francisco. Alan was an excellent guide; his emphatic and impassioned presentation style was filled with a great many historical and informational items, and both his accent and annunciation made it very easy to follow. Although I recommend this tour, there were a few drawbacks as well. First, I wish we had not bought the lunch to be included. Although the restaurant itself was a very nice space, and included entertainment, the ($31-$33) buffet was lackluster at best. Yes, plenty of choices, plenty of food, but none of it exceptional, or really very good either (street vendor food would have been better). The challenge, however, is that there is NOT another place to buy food (the bus takes you to their; the tour's, partner restaurant so that it is the only place to eat. Some of the other menu items were likely tastier than the buffet. Adjoining the restaurant (behind it) is an area where you "learn" about obsidian, types of tequila & Mezcal, silver, and local hand-crafts. The "presentations" are fun (enough), but yes, this is a stop where they hope you will buy items. For many, this is an opportunity to buy souvenirs, but my wife and I found that this greatly cut into the time we would have much rather spent exploring Teotihuacan. Overall the pacing of the Tour was well planned out. Traffic in/around Mexico City is NOTHING like you have ever experienced before, so it's nearly impossible for the Tour to always go 100% as planned. My advice is to bring patience, things for comfort (bottled water, sun screen, rain jacket, etc.), as it was a 10 hour (yes TEN HOUR) Excursion. We were in good hands with Amigo Tours with this one, but the next day (also with Amigo), we had a very different and not as good Tour elsewhere. Out of five stars, I'd rate this tour at a solid 3.5.

The tour begins at Fontán Reforma Hotel, where their shop is located. You're given a bike that will be adjusted according to your needs, as well as a helmet if you'd like one. My bike was a beach cruiser with a basket, which was ideal since I was dragging along my camera and water. My guide, Danny, was a super enthusiastic, has been biking his entire life and would know the roads with his eyes closed, so needless to say I felt safe even when riding the busy streets. Our first stop was made at the Monumento a la Revolución, where he gave a brief explanation of the background. Then we went on to the Buenavista-Guerrero Corridor, where we locked our bikes and took a walk down the street that features murals that cover the entire building facades. Then we drove through the quiet neighborhood of Tlatelolco, to the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, where he gave a detailed backstory of the massacre as well as the history of the pyramids and the church. After this stop, we set off again in search for more murals all over town. We finished the tour with a light lunch in the marketplace at Plaza Garibaldi before heading back to the starting point. Biking through CDMX, admiring the many pieces of art on the walls, gives you a unique perspective that no other tour will be able to offer you. The biking aspect of the tour is not strenuous at all, so I would recommend anyone to see the city from a different angle and hop on a bike with Poray!

My only wish is that I'd known that the included 'snacks' were going to be some of the best street tacos I've tasted. I had wolfed down a huge breakfast just before the tour so shared my tacos with family. Had I been hungry, they would have been all mine! This tour is a great way to get oriented with part of the inner-city. I would do it all over again just to get back to that taco stand in that sketchy neighborhood, which was safe during the day. This is a great way to cover a lot of ground and feel the culture. We booked this tour in advance through TripAdvisor.

Take the day trip from the city, either on your own (helps to speak SOME Spanish) or with a group and go with the FLOW!! We took an Uber from the Centro Historico and made our way to where we needed to be. Well, we actually got lost a few times, but managed to find this location (there are several launching points...) and managed to get a reasonably good deal for a two hour "ecological" tour, which meant we had some quality time in the lesser congested areas, and even saw some beautiful birds!! Our guide was super informative, and we really saw quite a bit in the two hours we were out there. We didn't do much eating and drinking, but saw many others taking advantage of the holiday season to have BIG fiestas on the water!! Xochimilco is definitely an EXPERIENCE... Andale!! In spite of the crowds, glitz, possible price gouging (it'll probably happen, get over it, it's how they make a living!!) it's WELL worth it!!

Xochimilco is a historic canal district in Mexico City, famous for its colorful boats (trajineras)…read morethat offer festive tours through the waterways. Xochimilco is a popular destination for tourists visiting Mexico City, even though it's a hike from the center of the city (you'll likely spend an hour getting to Xochimilco). We didn't visit on our first trip to Mexico City, but we did make a quick stop to tour the Xochimilco canals on our second visit to CDMX a few weeks ago. We visited with a tour group, which I recommend. I've heard it can be difficult to arrange things on your own. I believe it. When we visited, the market at this portion of Xochimilco had just been torn down (they are rebuilding it in time for the World Cup next summer), and it made for a confusing site. Without our guide, we definitely wouldn't have known where to go. There are lots of ways to experience and enjoy Xochimilco. For a lot of people, it's a party. You can eat, drink, and listen to mariachi music. I've heard it can be quite an experience and people can turn this into a party. You can also have a more historical- or ecological-focused experience, which is what we did (several groups focus on this kind of visit, including some that take you out at sunrise to experience it). Our tour guide taught us the history of Xochimilco (the waterways here were a main transportation venue from the pre-Hispanic period until the 20th century) and some of the ways people are trying to focus on improving the environment in the area (bringing back agriculture/chinampas and attempting to preserve habitat for the axolotl - Google it, it's amazing). If you're hoping for a particular experience, I highly recommend checking with a tour guide who can help you pick the portion of Xochimilco and ensure you get the experience you're most interested in. It's an interesting place, but given its distance from the city center, I wouldn't say it's a must visit for first time tourists to the city.

I booked the "Essentials" Mexico City street taco tour, but they had other street taco tours including one for after hours, one in a Mercado, and other spots around city. Our tour guide was Natalia, and she was the best! Getting to the meeting spot was a bit of a challenge due to a march going through downtown, so Natalia contacted me immediately to coordinate a different way of meeting with the group. She has a culinary background and is a food writer, so she had a wealth of knowledge about Mexican tradition and culture through the lens of food. I appreciated how mindful she was of my pork aversion. She helped provide alternatives for places that served pork so that I could try things within my dietary preferences. Pro tips: skip on breakfast and go to the tour hungry. The tour went above and beyond I expected. I knew that 6 taco stops were part of the tour, but we had a break at a pulqueria and a churreria. It's a lot of food in a 3-hour span. What's also cool about the tour was that we tried 6 different kinds of tacos. My personal favorites were the tacos from Los Provolones (1st stop), deep fried chile relleno taco from the 2nd stop, and tlacoyos from the 3rd stop. The tlacoyos were particularly unique as they were blue corn tortillas stuffed with fava beans and topped with nopales (cactus) and cheese.

TAKE. THIS. TOUR…read more If like me, one of the primary draws of Mexico City is the legendary dining and culinary options, then I do suggest that you start your trip with a street food tour and you book it with the the amazing Club Tengo Hambre. At three to four hours and with as many as 8 visits to a wide variety of street food options, it's truly a bargain. My particular visit was a tour of the Centro Historico neighborhood and because of Mariana - our amazing guide - the tour became so much more than an exploration of the amazing street food of Mexico City. I walked away with a much better understanding about the history of the neighborhood, the culture of Mexico City, and the country's food systems. Tour highlights include: 1. Stops at best street food options among the thousands in Mexico City - especially for quality of ingredients and food safety - that highlights a solid range of traditional street foods; 2. Visits to traditional markets ranging from exclusive places where Mexico City's top chefs source their top quality ingredients (you'll get to sample exotic fruits and other items from Mexico's bounty) to places popular for their food stalls that are packed to the gills (more sampling, of course); and 3. Time spent touring a complex and intimidating neighborhood with a fantastic guide and with a small group of other food lovers. The street food tour and time spent with Club Tengo Hambre is a highlight of a visit to Mexico City. Try to schedule this tour as early as possible in your trip. I recommend this for a few reasons. First, it's best to begin a trip to Mexico City by visiting the oldest part of the City and the tour takes you to the Centro Historico and hits many of the key sites. Next, especially if you are any sort of food tourist, it's great to start with street food, which is really represents the heart of a city's culinary scene. The history, markets, and street food helped contextual later visits to places like Pujol, Quintonil, and Amaya. Finally, you'll hit some amazing vendors and it's best to know about them early in your trip to allow you to go back for more.
