About this experience
Travel back in time with every sip. This cultural walking tour, takes you on a sensory journey through Mexico's pre-Hispanic roots — one drink at a time. We begin at a traditional pulquería, where you’ll learn about pulque, the sacred “drink of the gods”, once used in rituals and sacred ceremonies. You’ll get to taste several flavors, and maybe even learn a few dance steps while you're at it! Then, we’ll walk through Roma’s artistic streets, stopping to enjoy a corn-based snack, honoring the most important crop in Mesoamerican civilizations. Next, we'll head to a cozy and creative spot, where you'll try a vibrant cocktail inspired by the Mexican flag, we'll share games, legends, and fun activities that will connect you with ancient Mexico, and other travelers. For those who want to keep the night going, there's an optional stop at a hidden speakeasy-style bar, where you'll discover that even chili has its place in modern Mexican mixology. This is a warm, cultural, and flavorful experience — perfect for curious travelers, solo adventurers, friends, and anyone looking for a local, non-touristy experience in CDMX.

Here, we'll discover a very unique pulquería where, if you'd like, you can show off your best dance moves accompanied by a live band. However, if dancing isn't your thing, you can listen to the band and watch all the dancers take over the dance floor. I assure you, you'll want to learn!

We had a fantastic...
We had a fantastic experience with our guide, Leticia, on this tour. The places she took us to for drinks were all great and it was nice walking around the area and learning more about Mexican culture. I would highly recommend this tour!
via Viator
Fun, memorable, and great introduction!
Leticia picked us up at the park and brought us to a lively local pulque bar full of people salsa dancing. The energy was incredible. Leticia was super encouraging and happy to teach us some basic steps if we were up for it, but there was zero pressure if we just wanted to watch and take it all in. Afterward, we headed to a great rooftop bar to try another local drink. This tour was such a fun way to explore Roma Norte, learn about the culture, and get comfortable ordering food and drinks at authentic, non-touristy spots. Finding places without crowds of tourists can be really hard in this neighborhood, so that was a huge plus. It is definitely an at-your-own-pace vibe rather than a get-crazy-drunk tour. My husband isn’t a big drinker, so we split our drinks, and it wasn't weird or awkward at all. Highly recommend if you want a fun, genuine look at the local scene! The price is super cheap and because it's your own pace you can order as much or as little as you would like!

Lety was a wonderful...
Lety was a wonderful guide! She was very considerate of any dietary concerns and helped me translate when I went through the menus and ordered. Walking through the city was fun and I really enjoyed the casual atmosphere of the pulqueria. Thank you, Lety!!
Response from the operator: We're delighted to hear you had a great time! Thanks for being part of our journey. We’ll be here for more stories, flavors, and hidden gems whenever you’re ready to come back to Mexico city. 🍸

Funny drinking 🍸
I am very satisfied with this tour. From beginning to end the places were very unique, each place has it's particularities. I highly recommend it if you are looking for something special and fun, Lety will make you feel comfortable and she creates a nice environment for each place, it's not only about the places, is also the people that shows them.
Response from the operator: We’re so happy you had a great time with us! Between the tequila, mezcal, pulque and dancing, it was a night to remember. Come back soon!🥃🎶

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Flavors of the past: A Pre-Hispanic drink tour in Mexico city.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Flavors of the past: A Pre-Hispanic drink tour in Mexico city. cost?
+
Prices start at $600 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 Flavors of the past: A Pre-Hispanic drink tour in Mexico city. take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Flavors of the past: A Pre-Hispanic drink tour in Mexico city. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Flavors of the past: A Pre-Hispanic drink tour in Mexico city.?
+
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 Flavors of the past: A Pre-Hispanic drink tour in Mexico city. suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Flavors of the past: A Pre-Hispanic drink tour in Mexico city.?
+
Around 6 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Flavors of the past: A Pre-Hispanic drink tour in Mexico city. 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 Frida Kahlo VIP [Museum Tickets Included] Walk, Markets & Churros, Local Foodie Adventure CDMX: Tacos & more with Sherpa Food Tours, Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks. 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.
