Our journey begins at the Laila Hotel Mexico City Reforma, a convenient location close to public transportation. From here, we hop on e-bikes, feeling the breeze as we glide into Chapultepec Forest. This sprawling green space is more than just a park; it’s a historic site that was once a sanctuary for the Aztecs and a retreat for Mexican leaders.

One reviewer mentions, “The guide was incredible: warm, caring, and made me feel like I was riding with an old friend.” We loved the way our guide’s enthusiasm made the history come alive, making the experience both educational and relaxed.

Riding Along Reforma Avenue

Next, we cruise along Reforma, one of Mexico City’s most important avenues. This stretch is packed with history, from the Antimonumento to grand skyscrapers. The wide boulevard allows for easy riding and provides spectacular views of the city’s skyline. You’ll love how this part of the tour offers a glimpse of Mexico City’s modern face while still tying in the past—your guide will share fascinating stories about the avenue’s evolution from ancient civilizations to contemporary Mexico.

Mercado de Medellin: A Feast for the Senses

The highlight for many is the visit to Mercado de Medellin, a riot of colors, sounds, and smells.

The Food Tasting: Mexican Street Food at Its Best

While some might expect gourmet restaurant-level dishes, the tour’s focus is on traditional street foods—from tacos to tamales, with the option of soda or other drinks. Several reviews mention that the food, while simple, is prepared with care, making it a true taste of local cuisine.

A reviewer commented, “The bites from top street food vendors were exquisite, and it was fascinating to see the market’s vibrant atmosphere.” Even if the food isn’t haute cuisine, the experience of trying authentic dishes in a lively setting is priceless.
