Reviews
Alfonso was a very kind and genuine tour guide, very knowledgeable.
The first market we visited was the Presidente Abelardo Bueno, I think, and by the time we got there it was still just opening, so it didn’t have a lot of things to see or buy, but Alfonso takes you through some mural paintings that are very little known. Then we went back to the city center, took the metro and visited the Jamaica market, a much bigger market where you should have some cash to buy candy, flowers, fruits or many different kinds of cheap and nice souvenirs. After that you walk to a small area of restaurants where you get to know the history of huaraches and learn how to prepare them with an authentic family who’s been in the business for generations. You get to eat tamales, atole, tacos and huaraches. A very authentic, different and original tour.
