They do not provide clear directions on where to pick-up their tour buses. They do not have after hour services or anyone you can speak to during off hours or during business hours.

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.

Our guide Evelyn, was an absolute delight. She impressed us all day with her her energy, passion,…read moreand knowledge of CDMX.

We stopped at La Tonina, La Casa de los Tacos Norteños, El Califa de Leon Taqueria (WOW!), Agavito MPDL (because tacos are even better when you pause for some mezcal), Tacos al Humo - Tacomotora Tizine, and finally Taqueria Selene. ALL the stops were both amazing and completely different. My favorite? I truly have no idea! Even the Mezcal was amazing. Being from the US I think of this smokey stuff that belongs in a lawnmower and not your mouth. Here you have something different. How different? Can I see the bottle? Well, ...pause... no, there is no bottle, no branding, just extremely small craft production that would make craft beer brewers cry. The other wonderful thing about the tour was you got a brochure at the start that had some history, some fun facts, etc, but most importantly all the places you would be going so no need to memorize them. Yet, if you want to try to repeat the experience you are not going to do that on your own. Sign up with Sabores México Food Tours and you will not be disappointed.

We highly recommend this food tour. Our guide was informative, knowledgeable, and super friendly…read more We were with a large group of folks on tour together for four days, and this tour was included. We tried many dishes and were very full at the end. They did a nice job of accommodating our group at every stop. I've included photos of what we enjoyed.

When in Mexico City, don't let anyone tell you that this unique, scenic, traditional, loud,…read morecrowded, boisterous adventure is too "touristy." Yes, it's (overly) glitzy at times, possibly too popular/busy, especially on holidays/weekends, but it's sooooooo MEXICAN!! 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.

Honestly, not a bad way to get around the city and catch some major highlights. It costs $290 MXN…read morefor adults and $150 MXN for children. 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.

We took this bus to the pyramids. It was a tour that we booked online it was about $50 per person…read morewhich was not bad. This included a buffet breakfast once we got to the area. They took us to a store where they make obsidian jewelry and other things, that they gave us a small tour of. Then it took us to the pyramid area and took us around explaining some of the areas then give you free time do your own thing. Then you were able to take the bus back to the city and they dropped you off at your location that you got picked up. Overall it was a great experience I wouldn't say that the food was great but hey it came with a buffet breakfast and all this for about $50 per person.

His deep appreciation of the peoples and cultures that have made Mexico City a thriving metropolis for seven centuries was evident in each interaction he had with a local citizen and in every choice he made regarding where to visit and what to point out. With a deep understanding of what makes a city great, and keeping in mind our particular interests, David was able to put together a perfect tour for us. We really enjoyed spending the day with him. Fellow travelers will benefit from his deep curiosity and his keen eye for the nuance and detail of this sprawling city- his home for the past thirty years. We highly recommend David as a tour guide and look forward to exploring the city further with him the next time we visit.

Throughout the…read moretour, David pointed out interesting historical and architectural details, and made sure to include visits to several neighborhood markets. He also recommended a wonderful restaurant where we took a break and enjoyed a delicious Yucatecan lunch. We had been a bit apprehensive and even intimidated to go on a neighborhood tour with a published author, no less, but as soon as we began our walk our fears melted away; David is a lovely and charming person, a real pleasure to hang out with. Before we traveled to Mexico City, we read David's book, "First Stop in the New World," which painted vivid and evocative vignettes of the Mexico City of 2008, when the book was published. Walking the Roma and Condesa streets with David made the book come alive. David's deep knowledge of the city, gained over 25 years of living and working there as a journalist, was very evident during our tour. His curiosity about the city and its people is infectious. From everything we'd read about Mexico City, we knew we were going to love it once we traveled there. Spending the day with David walking the streets of this great city made us love it even more. We look forward to taking another tour with him when we visit next, perhaps in the Centro Histórico or Coyoacán/San Ángel.
