Awesome Adventure!

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time on this experience! Luis and his Uncle Aureilo were great hosts! This is a truly fun and unique adventure! We rode horses through a national park, which was exciting! Then we stopped at a small restaurant in the woods were we learned to make delicious salsas. The chef prepared for us tacos, enchiladas, sopas and gorditas. Everything was delicious! I absolutely recommend this experience. You'll have a great time!!

The best tour I had in Mexico City

If I could give this tour 100 stars I would. This was hands-down my favorite experience while visiting Mexico City. Luis picked us up at our hotel and took us to his uncles home where we saddled up and rode through town to the mountains. The views from the mountains were beautiful. Uncle Aurelio is a true charro and taught us how to handle the horse and walked alongside us the entire way. I don’t have too much experience riding horses, but I felt completely comfortable on the horse even with the language barrier between us. We tied up the horses and walked to a beautiful spring side town where we learned how to make salsa and tortillas with the owners of a small café. I thought I had great food inside the city however, the food at the café where we had the cooking class was the best tacos I had the entire trip. I’m from Texas and I’ve had good Mexican food before, but this was out of this world. We’re still dreaming of the tortillas we had. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. My husband and I were there celebrating our anniversary. Luis surprised us with a cake and a firework candle. It was so thoughtful and made for a truly special excursion.

Best Horseback Riding ever.

This was one the best tours we have ever done. Luis picked us up from our hotel on time and took us to his family house where we met his uncle Aurelio and his wife, who made us some delicious coffee. Aurelio is an expert about horses. We learned a lot about horses and riding them. Then Aurelio took us to the most amazing tour under tall pine trees and lots of greenery with a beautiful river full of water, amazing waterfalls, just a very peaceful and breathtaking place. After the ride we stop by for luch that was just amazing. Thank you Luis and Aurelio. You guys are amazing.

Engaging, intimate, fun experience! Worth the price!

10/10 experience. Book with Luis directly on his website- NOT aviator. All the reviews were right. You can see the glow of passion in Luis’ eyes when he speaks of his grandmother and especially her cooking. I only wish I learned this sooner and could live in the mountains where we cooked. Luis brought his own cowboy boots with spare boots for the male visitors, and myself and another woman received traditional Mexican flowers on our horseback ride. It was small since it was only 4 of us riding, intimate, and special. We rode on Día de los Muertos. It was the perfect length, as just as we were getting sore, the ride ended and we made our way to the cooking class. Luis was a thorough and friendly guide through and through. He explained each ingredient and how to cook each one to make the perfect salsa. We even included crickets in the red salsa! It actually was delicious!! I made some tortillas using the copal, a traditional tortilla maker, and made my first perfect tortilla on the stovetop. The views, people, children, and volunteers who walked alongside us all made it memorable. I can’t wait to be back- hopefully for my own riding lesson and to volunteer to help with the horses. ❤️☀️ Gracias Luis.

Ride Horses, Learn to Cook with Locals in Mexico City: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Ride Horses, Learn to Cook with Locals in Mexico City cost?

+

Prices start at $220 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 Ride Horses, Learn to Cook with Locals in Mexico City take?

+

Plan for about 8 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 Ride Horses, Learn to Cook with Locals in Mexico City worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 Ride Horses, Learn to Cook with Locals 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 Ride Horses, Learn to Cook with Locals in Mexico City suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Ride Horses, Learn to Cook with Locals in Mexico City?

+

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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Ride Horses, Learn to Cook with Locals 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.
