Best Tour I've ever taken
This might be the best tour I've ever done. Every foreign city I travel to, I like to take a cooking class because I believe that one of the best ways to share culture is through the language of food. But as a horse woman whos ridden for 30+ years I've NEVER had the opportunity to combine two things I love into such an authentic day. Luis picked my 12yo and I up in the Condessa and took us to his uncle Aurelio's home. From there we met Aurelio and Fatima and our two horses and we rode thru the city as their family helped with the purchasing of ingredients from local vendors. From there we decended into the community lands of the forest and went on a fantastic trail ride, crossing streams and decending/ascending the hillside. At the end, our trail ride completed into a small traditional mountain village where we learned to make sauces, our own tortillas, and my 12yo caught her own trout and we fried it up. The food was so fresh and delicious, and we loved the horses. They were great - not "dead head" trail horses at all - but had sweet personalities, great training, and were so communicative. I adored the mare they lent me. Shes only been with them for a few weeks but they entrusted me with her and she was a fantastic, responsive ride who didnt bat an eye at any dogs, motorcycles, cars... nada. The rest in their program are all well experienced and while my kid can ride too, the mount they gave her was seasoned and the perfect fit for any type of rider. Thank you Luis, Aurelio, and Fatima for making our first day in CDMX one of the most memorable days of our lives. We appreciate you!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Chelsea! ❤️ It was such a pleasure having you and your daughter with us. One of the things we love most about this experience is meeting people who share the same passion for horses. When that happens, the conversations somehow become long, intense, funny, and full of stories — and honestly, we absolutely love that. 🐴❤️ Thank you for trusting us and for sharing your passion with Aurelio, Fátima, and our horses. It was truly a pleasure to have you with us, and we hope to see you again very soon. You’ll always be very welcome here. 🐎🌿❤️

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.

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 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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?

Is Ride Horses, Learn to Cook with Locals in Mexico City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ride Horses, Learn to Cook with Locals in Mexico City?
+
Around 5 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.

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.
