EXPERIENCE TENOCHTITLAN

From the moment you arrive, you'll be swept away by Mexico City's dynamic energy. It's a place where tradition meets innovation, where ancient history coexists with modernity, and where culinary treasures await around every corner. Our tour is designed to help you experience Mexico City like a local, from bustling markets to hidden food gems and iconic landmarks.

Tastes & Traditions of Mexico Tour

Join us on an unforgettable culinary and cultural tour to Mexico City, where vibrant flavors and rich history come together to create an experience like no other. We've carefully crafted an itinerary that blends authentic Mexican cuisine with deep cultural immersion, allowing you to explore the heart and soul of this captivating city.

A Culinary Adventure

Our culinary journey will take us to world-class restaurants, charming bakeries, and authentic street food stalls. We'll savor the best of Mexico City's street food, including internationally acclaimed tacos, and explore local markets to sample exotic fruits and learn the stories behind traditional ingredients. You’ll get to indulge in traditional Mexican dishes, explore new culinary movements, and enjoy cooking classes led by local chefs.

One special experience includes a visit to a master chocolatier, where we'll learn about traditional and avant-garde desserts and prepare classic Mexican antojitos using the rich and diverse ingredients found in Mexico. To top it all off, we'll celebrate with a mariachi serenade, dancing, and delicious food at a family gathering hosted by a local chef.

Cultural Gems

We'll take a walking tour of downtown Mexico City, uncovering the fascinating history of one of the oldest cities in the Americas. We'll visit Bellas Artes to admire murals by Mexico's most renowned painters and explore other iconic landmarks like the Zócalo, and the Frida Kahlo Museum in the charming Coyoacan.

At Teotihuacán, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we'll explore the ancient pyramids with expert guides and learn about pulque, a pre-Hispanic drink, as well as the famous barbacoa. This traditional dish involves slow-cooking lamb underground in agave leaves for 16 hours until it is perfectly tender, served with fresh tortillas and its flavorful consomé.

A magical highlight of our trip is the boat ride on a trajinera through the canals of Xochimilco, another UNESCO World Heritage site. We'll learn about sustainable agricultural techniques on the ancient chinampas (floating gardens) and enjoy a special breakfast featuring fresh, organic ingredients harvested straight from the gardens.
