Whether it's the vibrant, colourful chaotic Mercado de la Merced or the colourful chaos dedicate for the witchcraft and magic of Mercado de Sonora, the tours are ever the same because each guide brings their unique storey and favourite flavours to share with you.

In Mexico City, markets do more than feed your body. they nourish your soul. On this tour, you’ll walk through the vibrant corridors where daily life unfolds with the call of vendors, the scent of fresh masa on the comal, and recipes passed down for generations.

We’ll take you to traditional area markets, far from the tourist traps, where real locals eat. You’ll taste about 8th stops from handmade antojitos, drink freshly squeezed juices, and sit down in humble fondas, tacos, local season fruit and some Pre-hispanic ingredients where every dish is served with heart and heritage. Each stop is a living memory, each flavour a cultural storey.
