An Unforgettable Deep Dive into CDMX with Ninelth!
Sascha V,Apr 7, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Our food tour with Ninelth was easily one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Mexico City! If you want a guide who is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a genuine, pleasant person who loves her city, look no further. We chose to start at the Museum of Anthropology as an added option, and we cannot recommend that enough. It provided such incredible context for the rest of the day. Ninelth has a wealth of information to share and made the history of the city come alive before we even started eating. Ninelth’s passion for Mexico City is contagious. She guided us through the local culture and culinary scene with expertise and warmth. If you want to learn everything this vibrant city has to offer while enjoying amazing food, book Ninelth. You won’t regret it!
Perfect Foodie and History Tour of Polanco!

5.00Fantastic tour, exceeded our expectations! Our guide Ninelth was excellent. Her knowledge of the food we were eating and the culinary history of Mexico was extensive. The restaurants we visited were all excellent, one of which has earned a Michelin mention! The wine tasting that we had was great, very informative and it was nice to try some Mexican wines, which were excellent. The tour was an easy walk, not long between stops. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you're a "foodie".
Great experience!

5.00What a Wonderful Experience! After spending almost 20 years abroad, returning to my hometown has sparked a newfound appreciation for tours in the city. It seems like a part of me is eager to embrace everything and understand how the city has evolved during my absence. I've particularly developed an interest for gastronomy tours, as they offer a unique perspective on how cultures evolve through their cuisine. As a Mexican who has lived abroad, I can attest to the fact that food is the first thing you miss, and it's something irreplaceable. Let me tell you, the Haute Gastronomy Tour in Polanco has been by far the best food tour I've ever experienced! Our first stop was the Anthropology Museum, an absolute must-visit whether you're a local or a first-time visitor to CDMX. Our bilingual guide explained the meaning of food in Mexican culture, setting the stage for an enlightening culinary journey. We then visited a selection of restaurants where we sampled traditional dishes with unique twists crafted by talented chefs. These culinary artists, with expertise gained from local and international experiences, seamlessly blended tradition with innovation. Each restaurant had its own distinctive vision and signature dishes, yet they all shared a commitment to modern Mexican cuisine rooted in ancestral techniques and organic ingredients, while also promoting sustainability and respecting Mexico's traditions and environment. The tour was organized in a dynamic way, incorporating cooking lessons, wine tastings, and chocolate samplings. It truly was an unforgettable experience, highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a day filled with learning about Mexico's fascinating history and culture, accompanied by delicious food and drinks!
