Travel back in time with every sip.
This cultural walking tour, takes you on a sensory journey through Mexico's pre-Hispanic roots — one drink at a time.
We begin at a traditional pulquería, where you’ll learn about pulque, the sacred “drink of the gods”, once used in rituals and sacred ceremonies. You’ll get to taste several flavors, and maybe even learn a few dance steps while you're at it!
Then, we’ll walk through Roma’s artistic streets, stopping to enjoy a corn-based snack, honoring the most important crop in Mesoamerican civilizations.
Next, we'll head to a cozy and creative spot, where you'll try a vibrant cocktail inspired by the Mexican flag, we'll share games, legends, and fun activities that will connect you with ancient Mexico, and other travelers.
For those who want to keep the night going, there's an optional stop at a hidden speakeasy-style bar, where you'll discover that even chili has its place in modern Mexican mixology.
This is a warm, cultural, and flavorful experience — perfect for curious travelers, solo adventurers, friends, and anyone looking for a local, non-touristy experience in CDMX.

5.00I had such a great time on this tour! It was a unique and fun way to explore the city — we visited hidden spots I wouldn’t have found on my own and got to taste some amazing local food and drinks. The guide was super knowledgeable and friendly, sharing cool facts and stories about the neighborhoods we walked through. The atmosphere felt very local and relaxed. Totally recommend this tour if you want to see a different and authentic side of Mexico City.

5.00I've lived in Mexico City on and off the last 13 years and Leti took me to unique places I've never been before that are literally right in my neighborhood. The pulque place was a super locals only place with live salsa music, dancing, and a punk rock vibe. We played a great card game at the tequila stop and the mezcal place at the end was absolutely divine.
I enjoyed the tour a lot...

The atmosphere was very authentic, especially with the live band playing and people dancing. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable experience!
