Mexico City: La Merced & Sonora Market Tour & Tastings
CDMX MEMORIES
Explore the second largest market in Mexico City through the eyes of those who grew up there. Join us for an unforgettable journey through one of Mexico City’s bustling traditional markets, guided by a local who knows every corner, every vendor, and every story. These aren’t just tours; they’re personal homecomings. Your guides are members who grew up selling, helping, shopping, eating, and celebrating in these markets—we are the second or third generation growing up and living in the vibrant markets, and now we’re opening the door for you to experience it the way they always have, becoming yourself a true “chilango.”
Taste street food made with recipes passed down for generations, meet the vendors your guides have known since childhood, and uncover hidden gems only locals know. You’ll learn about the rich cultural history behind every ingredient and dish—and leave with a full heart and an even fuller stomach.
Whether it’s the vibrant, colorful chaos of Mercado de la Merced or the colorful chaos dedicated to the witchcraft and magic of Mercado de Sonora, the tours are never the same because each guide brings their unique story and favorite flavors to share with you.
In Mexico City, markets do more than feed your body. They nourish your soul. On this tour, you’ll walk through the vibrant corridors where daily life unfolds with the call of vendors, the scent of fresh masa on the comal, and recipes passed down for generations.
We’ll take you to traditional neighborhood markets, far from the tourist traps, where time seems to stand still amidst the hustle and bustle. Come explore the beating heart of Mexican culture!
