The experience
You'll spend the evening tasting two things Mexico does best: tacos and mezcal. A mezcal master walks you through the spirit (where it comes from, how it's made, what to look for when you drink it), then you taste it. Beer comes too. The guide is local and speaks either English or Spanish, whichever you choose at checkout. You'll move through the city in an air-conditioned minivan, stopping at the House of Tiles to hear stories about Mexico City, then at Monumento a la Revolución to watch the night lights come on while you learn more about the place.
Dinner is tacos (the most versatile Mexican food, as the operator puts it), and it's included. If you have dietary needs, tell them when you book. The whole thing runs 3.5 hours, and it operates no matter the weather, so bring a jacket if the evening is cool. You need to be 18 to drink the mezcal. Children from age 3 can come along, though the focus is on the tasting and the food, not on activities for kids.
Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
In English, at 18:30. In Spanish.
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 12 years). Children under 3 can't be included in the booking.
What exactly happens at the House of Tiles on this tour?
The House of Tiles is one of the stops where your guide shares stories about Mexico City. The itinerary notes you'll listen to stories about the city there, though the specific details of what the guide covers depend on the evening and the guide.
Is this tour good if I'm vegetarian?
The operator does not recommend this tour for vegetarians and vegans, since tacos and the taco-focused dinner are central to it. If you have specific dietary needs, mention them at booking and the operator can advise whether they can accommodate you.
Do I need to arrange my own way to the starting point?
The tour does not include hotel pickup and drop-off, so you'll need to get yourself to the meeting point. Public transportation options are available nearby, and all areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible if you need that.
What's the difference between mezcal and the beer that's included?
Mezcal is a spirit made from agave, and a mezcal master will guide you through a tasting of it. Beer is also included as part of the evening's drinks, giving you a different kind of taste to compare.
How much walking is involved in this tour?
The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels and is wheelchair accessible. You'll move between stops in an air-conditioned minivan, so most of the travel is by vehicle rather than on foot.
