Best Tours & activities in Mexico City (2026)

A good tour helps you get far more out of Mexico City, especially when it comes to food. Eat Mexico, a women-owned company founded in 2010, runs small-group street food walks and market tours in neighbourhoods such as La Merced and Narvarte, and it offers cooking classes too. Culinary Backstreets takes curious eaters further afield, to Azcapotzalco, Tacubaya and a full day in Xochimilco, while Sabores México offers themed tours of Roma Norte, the Mercado de Jamaica and an evening of tacos and mezcal.

If you would rather cook, Casa Jacaranda in Colonia Juárez teaches small groups in a 19th-century palace and can add a visit to a local market. For a different view of Xochimilco, Arca Tierra takes visitors by trajinera to a working chinampa farm, with sunrise trips, brunches and farm meals at weekends. Book food tours for early in your stay, so you know what to order for the rest of the trip, and tell the operator about dietary needs when booking. Most tours run in small groups and fill up at weekends, so reserve a few days ahead, and check cancellation terms, as some are non-refundable.
