Mexico City
Off the Beaten track
Mexico City is a sprawling metropolis with more than 2000 colonias (neighborhoods)! You may have heard of some popular ones: Roma, Condesa and Centro Historico. However, we would show you 2 overlooked historic colonias: Santa Maria la Ribera and San Rafael. As we explore these colonias, we will provide insight to historical events, local life and more.
We’ll start by having a hot beverage accompanied with our favourite pastry while chatting and getting familiar with the group.
As we enter San Rafael we’ll taste some street food at one of our favourite stands in the neighborhood while learning about its history and architecture.
We’ll continue on to Santa Maria la Ribera to to see the main monument, and stop at a restaurant to try the most traditional dish from Oaxaca (A southeastern state considered to be the culinary capital of Mexico).
As we continue to explore and hopefully make more space in our stomach; we’ll try an ancestral drink called Pulque, one of the most traditional drinks in Mexico.
Before we say our goodbyes we will sit down for a refreshing michelada (alcoholic beverage), as we chat and share our recommendations for this sprawling metropolis!

He was super attentive, always making sure everyone was good during the rides and stops, and so genuinely nice and informative! We did the Mexico is Not Only Tacos tour.. the food was amazing and the whole experience was just super fun.
