Teotihuacan’s huge Avenue of the Dead, Taxco’s silver shops, Puebla’s tiled churches, and Xochimilco’s colorful boats give this tour a lot of Mexico in one week. I especially like the wide mix of ancient, colonial, and living Mexican culture, plus the airport transfers and six hotel breakfasts that simplify a first visit. I also like … Read more
Mexico City looks different from the top deck after dark. Streetlights pick out the Zócalo, Reforma Avenue, the Angel of Independence, and Benito Juárez’s marble monument while the city rolls past at street level. For $10 per person, this is a cheap way to get your bearings without committing to a long walking tour. I … Read more
Mexico City’s best food lesson may come one taco at a time. This four-hour night tour takes you to five traditional and contemporary taquerías, from north-style tacos and suadero to the city’s famous al pastor, with mezcal in the middle. You ride between stops in an air-conditioned minivan, so the evening covers more ground than … Read more
Mexico City is huge, busy, and spread across several distinct districts. This open-top double-decker bus gives you a quick overview without asking you to decode the city’s full transport system on your first day. You can see the Zócalo, Chapultepec, Polanco, Reforma, and several major museums from one seat. I like the 24-hour ticket, which … Read more

This three-hour taco and mezcal crawl takes you through Roma Norte, where you sample different taco styles, taste several mezcals, and learn why each bite belongs to a particular place and tradition.

This three-and-a-half-hour walk focuses on family-run taquerías, local bars, and everyday neighborhood life, ending with a private mezcal tasting led by a local chef. I like the generous food plan, which is designed to replace dinner, … Read more
Mexico City looks wonderfully different after dark. From the upper deck of a red Turibus, you’ll roll from the Historic Center down Paseo de la Reforma, passing monuments and fountains lit against the night sky. I like the easy overview and the chance to photograph several major sights without arranging separate transport. I especially like … Read more
Mexico City’s taco scene is too wide to tackle by guesswork in one evening. This tour narrows it down with about nine tacos, mezcal, beer, and stops in several central neighborhoods, so you can spend your night eating instead of decoding menus or hunting for an open taquería. I like two things right away: the … Read more

Mexico City’s Lucha Libre is part sporting event, part theater, and part noisy neighborhood night out. This experience gets you into the rhythm early, with tacos and drinks before guides such as Alice, Daniel, Julio, and Gurru explain the rules, history, and chants before the arena lights come on. I like the simple mix of … Read more
