Explore the artsy enclaves of Roma and Condesa - two chic areas with a hipster edge and an incredibly diverse food and art scene. As you travel, fall in love with the quirky combination of colorful colonial buildings, Art Nouveau architecture, vintage bookshops, and vegetarian restaurants. You'll be paired with guides that are passionate about the place they call home and who choose to spend their free time sharing it with like-minded travelers matched to them. Meet your host in Roma - where the food scene is as diverse as the culture, before stopping off at Mercado Roma - a covered market where you can visit some of Mexico City’s most popular eateries. Make your way down the tree-lined streets to Condesa right next door, which is an absolute heaven for creatives and art-lovers. Pass all-day street vendors selling fresh coconut juice and sweet pineapples as you explore the area’s galleries, and stroll through Parque México - one of the city’s most attractive urban gardens. Keep your eyes peeled for the park’s Art Deco attractions like the ironwork clock tower, and end your day simply strolling through the streets, exploring their restaurants, street art, shops, and bars, as your local guide shares stories of this fascinating city.

Join a local guide for an authentic experience. Explore Mexico City’s food culture in its coolest neighborhoods, Roma and Condesa, on a guided walking tour. Meet your guide at your specified meeting point and set off on a fully personalized guided food tour. Explore Mercado Medellín, a no-frills neighborhood market where locals stock up on fruit and vegetables. Browse the market’s fresh flowers, craft beers, moles, and handcrafted furniture. Then, sample street food like tlayudas (toasted tortilla covered in beans, meat, and cheese), barbacoa (tender steamed meat), or cochinita pibil (roast pork) and try a taco or two. Next, head to the slightly more upmarket Mercado Roma, a food market with a gourmet food hall. Pass all-day street vendors selling fresh coconut juice and sweet pineapples as you explore the area and stroll through Parque México, an urban oasis of greenery. Let your guide suggest the perfect spot for a taco and a cold drink, so you don't get overwhelmed by the hundreds of types of tacos and taquerías in Mexico City. Choose from suadero tacos made with thin-cut beef, barbacoa tacos with meat traditionally slow-cooked in an underground oven, and canasta tacos stacked high in a cloth-covered basket. Then, give your stomach a break as you walk through the streets of Condesa, a nirvana for creatives and art-lovers. Pop into boutiques and shop for souvenirs before ending on a sweet note with dessert tamales, ice cream, or coconut candies from local haunts. Finally, if you still have room, finish off your tour with another drink at a trendy bar in Condesa.
