Fun and food-filled
Andy was an amazing tour guide who went out of her way to celebrate our groups recent birthday. Making the tour that much more special. She was also very knowledgeable of the area and made the trip well worth it.

Rain couldn’t stop the good times!
Showing up at the location was very easy and straightforward, it was only the smallest amount confusing to know exactly where to meet up but was smooth sailing from the moment we saw our guide to the end of the tour (Despite the hilarious rain storm we got caught up in!). Once we got going our guide Andy was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable on everything from mole to pastries. The food and atmosphere of each location was excellent and included a full meals worth of food and drinks over the course of the tour. The surprise stop was also top notch. Even though we were a tad unfortunate with the weather, we never had a moment we had a bad time on the trip and would recommend the experience to anyone looking to learn something about the food and taste it too. Wonderful tour, would absolutely do again!
Response from the operator: Thanks for spending the day exploring with us. We appreciate you choosing Secret Food Tours and sharing your thoughts. Enjoy the rest of your travels!

Fun, educational, laid back
This was a really great tour. Carlo was an excellent host. He was very knowledgeable about the city and its food scene and you can tell how proud he is of his city’s history and culture. The food was great!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the recommendation! It was great having you with us on Secret Food Tours. We hope you’ll join us again in the future.

Definitely recommend

Response from the operator: Interesting and delicious is exactly the combination we hope for, thank you for the recommendation! We hope Mexico City’s flavors are among the memories you bring home from your trip. Secret Food Tours would be happy to welcome you back anytime.

Andy was a great guide
Andy was an amazing guide. The food was amazing. We were so full we couldn't finish
Response from the operator: So full you couldn’t finish is the kind of problem we love to hear about! The historic center has so much flavor packed into a few streets, and we’re glad you got to taste plenty of it. Next time you’re in Mexico City, or exploring a new city, Secret Food Tours would love to have you along again.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $78 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 Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks 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 Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,021 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks?
+
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 Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks?
+
Around 357 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 Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks 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, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour, PREMIUM Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco (Small Groups). 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.
