We experienced the Market Immersion tour with our family of 4 - with 13 and 11 year-old children. Ale was our guide and she answered all of our questions, big and small. Highlights: making huaraches with a sweet elderly lady, Ramoncita. Walking around and seeing huge flower bouquets with elote in a cup. Finding cherimoya in a fruit tasting, and finding the best carnitas and green sausage tacos that we've ever had. Ale took us to 3 markets and probably would've walked us around the rest of Mexico City if we wanted--she definitely worked overtime for us. My tips: dress comfortably because you will be walking a bit, don't carry too much on you, come hungry (don't eat breakfast), and come with an open mind. We will definitely use this agency again when we return.
Excellent private trip with my wife Sarah and our god-daughter Georgia. We met up with Ale and the pre-arranged meeting place and went straight off to a family run restaurant were we learned how to make an authentic breakfast and where we really integrated into a typical Mexican setting. Next stop was the various markets and let me tell you do not try the markets on your own, get a guide such as Ale because 1. You will miss so much and 2. You will get lost! Our god-daughter doesnt like large crowds so Ale went out of her way to ensure we had safe passage wherever we went. The trip went over the allotted time as there was so much to see but Ale was fine about that and wasnt in any rush to leave us. In fact she stayed with us until we got into our Uber. Top marks Ale for an incredible tour of the markets of Mexico City !
We had an amazing experience on our food tour with Ale! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local cuisine and culture, and her friendly personality made the whole tour so much fun. Ale made everyone feel welcome and engaged, and each stop was thoughtfully chosen and delicious. Highly recommend joining a tour with her—you can tell she truly loves what she does!
I'm so glad I booked with Mexico Underground as it was one of the best food/market tours I've ever done! My guide Ale was super knowledgeable, and she told me so many things about Mexico City I didn't know. I took the market immersion tour, where we visited 3 markets, one of which included a crash course in huarache-making which was really fun! Every vendor we met at the tour was so lovely and it was great wandering around the markets and learning more about each of them. And of course there was lots and lots of delicious and very diverse food! I highly recommend this tour of you come visit CDMX 😊
We had an amazing experience on the street food tour of downtown CDMX with Ale from Mexico Food Tours Underground! From the very start, Ale’s passion for Mexican cuisine and history shined through, making the tour not only delicious but also incredibly insightful. She took us to hidden gems and street food stalls we never would have found on our own, each stop offering a unique and authentic taste of Mexico City. From mouthwatering tacos to unexpected local delicacies, every bite was a revelation. Ale also made sure we understood the cultural significance of each dish, which made the experience even more special. Beyond the food, Ale was warm, engaging, and made us feel like we were exploring the city with a friend. If you’re visiting CDMX and want an unforgettable food adventure, this tour is an absolute must! Highly recommended!
