Our private food tour with Marisol with was awesome. Not only did we get to try delicious foods that showcased a variety and were tailored to what we wanted to try, but she also taught us so much that we didn’t know about Mexico City’s history and culture. Her passion and knowledge made this a great experience for us! Would definitely recommend.
