What's included in Mexico City: Book A Local Host
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Head to the arty enclave of Roma; an area with a hipster edge, where you’ll no doubt fall in love with the perfect combination of colorful colonial buildings, Art Nouveau architecture, quirky bookshops, and veggie food spots. Maybe you’ll eat and drink your way through the district, cafe hopping your way through quirky coffee shops, sipping on a beer or tasting your way through the diverse food scene. Perhaps you’ll stop by Mercado Roma; a covered market where you can fill your tummy at some of Mexico City’s most popular eateries.
Mercado RomaPass-by Only
In a taco shell (get it?), you’ll discover the dizzying world of tacos in Mexico City with one of our Mexican hosts, who can’t wait to show you that the real deal is nothing like the Americanized version you may be used to. There are hundreds of types of tacos, and thousands of taquerías you could try them at, saying nothing of the various toppings and salsas you can garnish them with. We find that when learning new things, a practical approach is key, so to learn about the taco scene you’ll need to do a fair amount of eating. You’ll explore the city together, trying eight types of tacos at some very local spots indeed, and discover the explosive flavor and texture combinations mounted atop the tortilla. Tacos even pre-date the Spanish arrivals, so rest assured you’re learning about an important part of Mexico City’s heritage. Who said prolonged snacking wasn’t educational?
CondesaPass-by Only
Perhaps you’ll check out the leafy green Parque Mexico for an afternoon in the sunshine, grab a snack from an all-day street vendor; like fresh coconut juice, juicy pineapples, or sticky sweet potatoes covered in cream. Relish in the local vibe and enjoy a full sensory experience with your host, exploring restaurants, cafes, street art, quirky shops, bars, and a diverse nocturnal neighborhood.
