Mexico City's second largest market through the eyes of those who grew up there. Join us on an unforgettable journey through one of Mexico City's bustling traditional markets, guided by a local who knows every corner, every vendor, and every story. These aren't just tours; they're personal visits. Your guides are members who grew up selling, helping, buying, eating, and celebrating in these markets.
Whether it's the vibrant and chaotic Mercado de la Merced or the chaotic Mercado de Sonora, dedicated to witchcraft and magic, no tour is ever the same because each guide brings their unique story and favorite flavors to share with you.
We'll take you to traditional neighborhood markets, far from the tourist traps, where authentic locals eat. You'll sample approximately eight artisanal antojitos (antojitos) stands, sip freshly squeezed juices, and sit in humble fondas, serving tacos, local seasonal fruit, and much more.
Groups are Max 10th participants we try to keep small groups.
