Together, we will explore hidden gems, majestic landmarks and untapped stories from Mexico City's first neighborhood while tasting delicious and authentic antojitos from our city.

Some recent reviews:

  • Stephen says:

    "Excellent tour. Sergio was a great guide and had a ton of interesting information. Lunch was delicious, with a great selection of antojitos (small street food dishes) to try. Pickup and transport was easy and comfortable. Highly recommended way to see the real Xochimilco, away from the party boats."

  • Nick says:

    "Sergio took us to the market, and some food stalls, where we ate sopes, quesadillas, tacos and much more (all delicious), all made from the produce of the chinampas. We saw part of the real Mexico, with no tourist traps or vendors! The food and drinks are all included in the trip."

    "This tour takes you on a journey far away from the crowded party boats and busy canal systems and into the San Gregorio local market to start - visiting several stellar food stalls and producers that source the freshest ingredients grown on the farms in the area."
