I would definitely do another tour with her and would recommend her to anyone visiting CDMX. She even had great suggestions for the rest of my trip and a cute bar to stop at after the tour.”

Tried reaching the provider right away to see how we can rejoin or reschedule, but unfortunately, even 12 hours later, there is no response. Lost my money due to very poor communications. Please be careful.”

One of the people in our party ate the vegetarian options which were just as amazing as the meat options. This tour allows you to step away from the super touristy areas and fully immerse yourself in the delicious Mexican cuisine. The hospitality at all of the restaurants is just top tier. I would definitely book this tour again.”
