Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best day tours in Mexico City?

Our most popular Mexico City day tours are easy to choose from.

Join a Polanco food and mezcal tour. Head to the Teotihuacan pyramids early, before the crowds. Glide along the Xochimilco canals on a private trajinera. Or explore Coyoacán and the Frida Kahlo Casa Azul.

Each tour mixes authentic Mexican food with local culture. You see the best of the city in just a few hours.

How much time do I need for a Mexico City tour?

Most of our tours last 4 to 8 hours. They are half-day or full-day trips. This makes them perfect if your time in the city is short.

Some start in the morning, like the Polanco food tour. Others start at sunrise, like the Xochimilco trip. Either way, each Mexico City tour fits into a single day.

Are these food tours or sightseeing tours?

They are both! Food is at the heart of every tour. You taste tacos and mezcal in Polanco. You enjoy a traditional breakfast on a trajinera in Xochimilco. But our day tours show you more than food: you also visit famous sites like the Teotihuacan pyramids and Coyoacán’s Casa Azul.
