Ride at an easy pace through Roma Norte and Condesa with guides such as Simon, Mario, Raul, and Axel. You’ll sample five distinct tacos, learn about neighborhood life, use a bike and helmet, and finish with a Mexico City-style michelada.

“Mario made our experience so wonderful - he’s personable, knowledgeable and laid back. We loved hearing not only about the great tacos we were eating and the restaurant they came from but also about the city. The bikes were comfortable and in great shape as well. We stopped at 6 spots along the tour and really enjoyed all the tacos - so much variety and creativity made each spot unique and totally necessary as a stop. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day and not too much traffic in our way but I would advise you to wear comfortable shoes for biking as well as bringing a raincoat…”
