Discover the real Mexico City! Step out of the tourist bubble and explore neighborhoods that Mexicans love — Santa Maria la Ribera and San Rafael. These hidden gems are full of history, color, and everyday life that most travelers never see.
Hop on a bike for a relaxed ride. We’ll break the ice tasting tamales, tacos, or drinks, depending on the tour time, while wandering markets, meeting food vendors, and seeing more Mexicans than tourists.
Along the way, you’ll hear a darker side of Mexico, stories that reveal hidden struggles and secrets behind the city’s lively streets.
Savor street food in San Rafael and explore Santa Maria la Ribera with authentic Oaxacan flavors. Finish with a sip of Pulque and a crisp michelada, experiencing the city in every bite and sip.
By the end of the tour, you’ll see the love we have for this city — its people, its flavors, and its stories — and understand why Mexico City captures our hearts every single day.
