Want to go again
My traveling companion suggested we go early. That was a good idea. We had a lovely breakfast nearby and walked over to the park where artists had their workout. She found an artist she'd purchased a few years back and bought a couple more pieces from him. There were a lot of good things and the prices really did range. Then we went back into the place where we had breakfast and stalls had opened for business. There's beautiful work and lovely things but for me the prices were a little much, though the artistry in quality was wonderful. Be sure to walk around a couple of the streets. There's a few other places two as well and a lovely church and park. We found a store selling really great works and it was fun to just see all the craftsmanship and creativity available. Next time I go back I will realize I need to take out a little extra money to go here. These are artists and fine artisans and they deserve what they're charging. It was our first adventure and I was waiting for that perfect piece. That always seems to cause me grief. Hopefully for you it will not and you'll find lots of treasures cuz there's quite a few. It was a lovely time and an interesting walk to the Diego Rivera and Frida kahlo home studio which I would also recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your experience at the Bazaar Saturday in San Ángel! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the artwork, craftsmanship, and creativity of the local artists and artisans. It’s wonderful that your companion was even able to reconnect with an artist she had purchased from before! We also appreciate your recommendation to arrive early and take the time to walk around the surrounding streets, parks, and beautiful historic sites. San Ángel has so much character to discover, and we’re glad your first adventure left you wanting to come back for more. We hope that on your next visit you find that perfect piece to take home with you. It would be a pleasure to welcome you again! Warm regards,

Restaurant Bazar de Sabado in San Angel
It is a "Turist trap" the restaurant has soaring prices and the quality of the food is horrible. Nothing tastes right, part of the order arrived cold or unfinished. In the service the waiters and their assistants do what they can but have no training. And the worst part is that once you intend to invoice on their portal, it turns out not to work; it is impossible to get the invoice. In short the experience is to help own and strangers... and in tourist area is really expensive of Mexico abusive and without interest in its visitors.
Response from the operator: Gracias por compartir su experiencia. Lamentamos que su visita al restaurante dentro del Bazar de Sábado en San Ángel no haya sido satisfactoria. Durante el recorrido se brinda tiempo libre para que cada visitante explore y elija dónde consumir dentro del bazar, el cual reúne diversos establecimientos independientes. Aun así, valoramos mucho sus comentarios y los tomaremos en cuenta para el seguimiento con los proveedores de la zona, así como para orientar mejor a futuros visitantes. Agradecemos su retroalimentación y quedamos a sus órdenes.

Bazaar Saturday - Convent of Carmen - San Angel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Bazaar Saturday - Convent of Carmen - San Angel cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bazaar Saturday - Convent of Carmen - San Angel take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Bazaar Saturday - Convent of Carmen - San Angel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bazaar Saturday - Convent of Carmen - San Angel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bazaar Saturday - Convent of Carmen - San Angel suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bazaar Saturday - Convent of Carmen - San Angel?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bazaar Saturday - Convent of Carmen - San Angel start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Teotihuacan pyramids morning or afternoon without tourist traps, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+

+

What languages is Bazaar Saturday - Convent of Carmen - San Angel offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
