We have done plenty hop on hop off experiences before thought we knew what to expect - we were pretty shocked to discover that this company decided there is not much to say about Mexico City and 90% of the trip you sit in silence. Most people on the bus with us were sleeping. Long distances travelled with not a word from the audioguide. The next day we did the Free Walking Tour - amazing! Turns out there is lots to learn about Mexico City after all!

And we have been on plenty all around the world. We were fortunate to have 2 guides for a group of 4 people, the owner Rodrigo as well as Fernanda. Both are really passionate about their city and its food. We stopped at 8 places over the course of 5 hours. Each place was selected for a specific reason and they were all simply amazing. We also very much enjoyed going through the Mercado de San Juan and enjoying a few nibbles along the way. We walked and talked and ate a lot. You will not leave this tour hungry or needing anything else to eat for the rest of the day. The food was all delicious, freshly prepared by local owners who really take pride in their food. We also got a lot of history during the walk which was great. Both guides were genuinely interested in what we had to say, and ensuring that we were enjoying our experience. We liked the company so much, we will be doing its Tacos and Mezcal tour later in the week. Cannot recommend highly enough

I had a great time on the Food walking tour. My guide Chef Leslie was lovely and was not only informative about the Mexican food but knew a lot of the history of San Miguel. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer. The food and places we went to was a great mix and I enjoyed each meal. I can highly recommend this tour

Vail, our guide was terrific. We learned a lot about the history of San Miguel, and enjoyed all the restaurants we visited. Highlights were the shrimp and jicama tacos and the churros. I have some mobility problems due to a total knee replacement I had a few months ago, and she changed the itinerary to accommodate me. They even picked us up at our hotel and brought us back! My husband and I were the only ones on the tour, so they went out of their way to customize the experience. One piece of advice: go hungry!
