“This tour exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, David, was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and gave us some cool stories about Coyoacan. I LOVED biking through the neighborhood and alleys. It was probably my favorite part. We also got churros, tostadas and horchata. At the end we went to the Casa Azul and it was a beautiful way to end the day. I would absolutely recommend this tour and I'd do it again if i had more time.”

The tour lasts about three and a half hours, welcomes omnivores and vegans, and ends where it begins.

“Value was horrible. We certainly didn’t leave super full. We only had two full sized items then a pinch of a few other things. The group way too large to navigate the crowded market. We didn’t try very many things. Didn’t learn or taste any fruits or veggies. I’ve been on other food tours and this one missed the mark. Highly unsanitary. We were all pinching and licking things over and over. Don’t do this your if your a germophob. Guide asked us if we would like to try a drink. We all said yes. Didn’t say they weren’t included in the $55. Had to pay extra. He took some…”
