    Mezcal + Cesar's guidance = an amazing tour!

    What an evening under the mezal tutelage of Cesar!! I had a blast learning about (and trying) mezcal at several amazing cantinas around CDMX. Each cantina had it's own vibe and was aboslutely worth stopping in. Cesar is a CDMX expert who has his finger on the pulse of this great ciudad. This trip was a definite highlight of my first trip to Mexico City and because of experiences like this it won't be my last time to visit!

    Great experience

    Fernando provided an unparalleled experience! Finding places we never would have thought to go, we got a full range of cantinas in the historic district. The tequila and mezcal samples were great, but what made the whole thing memorable was our guide’s enthusiasm and knowledge. We ended the tour with great food, and great company. Highly recommended!

    Perfect way to see el centro

    Got to see most of el centro and try some of the best taquerías that I wouldn’t have known to go to. Francesca was just fantastic. I’d absolutely recommend this.

    Cruising the city's quirkiest cantinas you'll see a side to CDMX you won't want to miss!!!!!!

    Our guide Mario was extremely knowledgable, friendly and fun. He was willing to adapt the cruise to what we wanted to see and had answers to our many questions!!! We discovered a great mixture of cantinas hidden behind unsuspecting facades that we would never have ventured into otherwise to experience some whacky Mexican traditions and authentic cantina fayre. You won't go thirsty or be short of traditional Mexican 'snacks'. 10/10. Not to be missed.

    Mexico City Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.

    How much does Mexico City Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $165 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 Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Mexico City Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience?

    +

    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 Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mexico City Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience?

    +

    Around 2 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mexico City Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience 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.

    What is included in Mexico City Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience?

    +

    Included: Dinner; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Mexico City Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 236 listed pickup locations in and around Mexico City. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Mexico City Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience 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.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mexico City Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Mexico City Tequila and Mezcal historic bar experience if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Mexico City. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
