Explore Frida Kahlo’s Coyoacán with local food, market stops, historic plazas, and included Casa Azul admission on this English walking tour.
“This was comprehensive tour of Coyoacan with an emphasis on Frida Kahlo. Our guide Sebastian was very knowledgeable and personable. He gave us great recommendations for the area and other sites to see in Mexico City. It was a pleasure to spend three hours with him.”
Shop Cabo markets, make tortillas, and cook an authentic Mexican lunch with a local chef in this lively four-and-a-half-hour class.
“The best experience we had in Cabo! Karina and Carolina were excellent hosts. The expereince was a full entertainment expereince including shopping, cooking, margaritas, music, and dancing. Would absolutely go again if we head back to Cabo.”
Taste Cancun beyond the resorts with four taco stops, Mexican beer, churros, downtown sights, and roundtrip transport for $89.
“We had an awesome experience on this taco tour with Gib and Alex! Every restaurant we visited was authentic, and the food came out quickly. Gib was great at setting expectations before each stop, especially when it came to spice levels, which we really appreciated. Beyond the food, the conversations made the tour even better. We learned a lot about Mexican history, cuisine, and local culture, and it never felt rushed or scripted. By the end of the tour, we were completely stuffed. The churros at Parque de las Palapas were a perfect way to finish, and we loved having time to walk around the area afterward. Highly recommend this…”
Taste Cancun beyond the resorts with carnitas, barbacoa, Yucatecan food, Mercado 23, local murals, drinks, and hotel pickup.
“Amazing! Adrian and Angel were super informative and kind. Every single food stop was delicious and transports you into the Mexican culture. Must have experience when you visit Cancun.”
Explore Puerto Vallarta’s market, make Mexican dishes with Chef Enrique, and enjoy a fresh lunch in his home kitchen.
“We had a great time with Enrique What an amazing host and chef. It was a wonderful seafood lunch, our 2nd with him.”
Cook a fresh Mexican meal, shop a Mexico City market, and learn local techniques in a small hands-on class with an English-speaking chef.
“Wonderful overall. Jose was a great host and chef-definitely one of the better activities we did in Mexico City. Dinner was delicious and authentic… fun!!!”
Explore Oaxaca’s local markets through 20 foods, pre-Hispanic drinks, expert guidance, and practical tips on value, walking, and hygiene.
“Yael was great! Very immersive, great food. We walked around the huge market and tasted mnay things on the way.. Make sure to buy your souvenirs while there for best pricing.”
Explore Oaxaca’s market, prepare traditional dishes, and share a generous meal in this hands-on four-and-a-half-hour cooking class.
“Market walk was nice, it was not what I was expecting for a cooking class. Felt rushed as lots of stuff was prepared by staff and cooked by staff. Maybe 45% of the cooking was done by us. The table we ate at was beautiful but I was hoping to really go from 0-100 cooking the authentic meal. In hindsight I would go for a more expensive, longer class for a more full experience. Oscar is very nice and the staff were friendly. Just not what I was hoping.”
Explore Mexico City markets, street food, murals, Metro travel, and a family salsa lesson on this lively five-hour small-group tour.
“Poncho was a great guide! We really loved the salsa making, and getting to see the murals at the market with great explanation and description of the history. Learning to ride the Metro on this tour was also a highlight. Poncho made us feel very comfortable with this and we can’t wait to come back and ride the metro on our own. Thanks Poncho!”
Explore La Merced and Sonora markets through local family guides, with eight tastings, Mexican food traditions, and a curious look at witchcraft.
“The tour was amazing, Gabriel was very attentive and was very informative. The food was great especially the last bakery stopped never seen so many baked goods. Loved that you get a little souvenir from el Mercado Sonora”
Explore Mérida’s market, taste Yucatán specialties, and cook a three-course meal in a local home during this friendly five-hour tour.
“Learning about the ingredients in the market and the recipes. The market visit was very interesting. Our guide Luz did a great job explaining at the market and also Dorcas’ home where we prepared the meal. Dorcas had great energy and was very welcoming to her home. Dorcas also gave great insight into the preparation of our meal. All in all we had a great experience and look forward to trying to recreate the dishes at home !”
Learn Mexican cooking, explore Mercado Medellín, and prepare a four-course meal with mezcal, beer, wine, dessert, and expert guidance.
“The chef Mariana was great with explaining the ingredients and instructing throughout the class! I especially enjoyed the market tour. One suggestion would be to ensure everyone taking the class practices good hygeniene. I noticed a couple of people didn't wash their hands before touching tortillas that we all had to eat and one person had to be told to not put his tasting spoon back into the salsa. I'm really hoping no one gets sick.”
Learn to make tacos, tortillas, salsas, and more while shopping San José del Cabo’s market with Chef Francisco.
“You can't do better than this experience to get a real flavor of Mexico. We started in the market to buy our food and ended in the kitchen making tortillas before eating the fruits of our labors. Francisco is an amazing host and makes you feel valued and treasured. Something we will do again the next time we visit Cabo.”
Shop Puerto Vallarta’s local market, cook with Manu, and enjoy a private Mexican meal tailored to your tastes and dietary needs.
“One of our favorite food experiences. Manu was charming, knowledgeable, attentive and his dog was great. We all enjoyed the fabulous homemade salsa, ceviche and chili shrimp. We highly recommend this event.”
