    Excellent tour! Highly recommended!

    Daniela was an excellent guide who is very knowledgeable about Mexican history. She took us to important historical sites and had us taste delicious street food. I highly recommend her along with this tour. It was a great way to get acquainted with the rich culture of Mexico City.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your awesome review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed Mexico City Downtown – history, daily life, and food stops! Gracias for walking with us!

    Great tour with great guides.

    I and my friend spent more than half a day with Mexico a Pie tours. First off, in the morning was the free guided tour. Very much worth our time and with an English speaking guide (Julio) who explained the history of the city and took us to important landmarks within the historic center. After which we took the paid tour "THE REAL MARKETS: FOOD TASTING EXPERIENCE" which was well worth it. It exceeded my expectations and was a lot of fun. We were also able to take public transportation (Metro and Metrobus) and was able to experience a few of the fascinating markets and got to observed the neighborhood's streetlife. The food that we had were very good as well as the narration and explanation of our guide, Adriana, was well presented and ably explained to us. Just a word of caution, the market tour just like any big city in the world and for this particular tour, being outside of the more "touristy" area, caution should be observed and listen to the guide on specific areas or routes. Thumbs up, excellent tour of Mexico City by Mexico a pie. Thanks!

    Tortilla Crawl: Food Tour in Mexico City: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tortilla Crawl: Food Tour in Mexico City cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 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 Tortilla Crawl: Food 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 Tortilla Crawl: Food 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 3 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 Tortilla Crawl: Food 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 Tortilla Crawl: Food Tour in Mexico City 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 Tortilla Crawl: Food Tour in Mexico City?

    +

    Around 1 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 Tortilla Crawl: Food 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 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 Tortilla Crawl: Food Tour in Mexico City?

    +

    Included: Professional guide; Snacks; Drinks; Lunch; and Metro (subway) tickets. Not included: Gratuities/tips to the Guide (optional); Transport to Meeting Point; and Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tortilla Crawl: Food Tour in Mexico City?

    +

    Meet us in the front-left corner of the Metropolitan Cathedral, next to the newsstand (it sells old photographs). Search for 'Meeting Point Mexico a Pie' in Google Maps. We will be waiting minutes before 1:30pm. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Tortilla Crawl: Food Tour in Mexico City offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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 Tortilla Crawl: Food Tour in Mexico City?

    +

    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 Tortilla Crawl: Food Tour in Mexico City if the weather is bad?

    +
