★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 11 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

Meet at Reforma 222 at 6:00 pm for a Turibus-led evening through Mexico City’s cantina culture. Visit El Tenampa, La Mascota, and La Reforma, with live commentary, reserved visits, tequila available to buy, and round-trip transport back to the meeting point.

“El tour debe durar mas tiempo, en el recorrido se pierde mucho tiempo por el tráfico, debe haber mayor organización, en una de las cantinas solo había un mesero para atender a tanta gente, se tardan demasiado en atender en las cantinas, al final nos traen corriendo y tardan en cobrar lo que consumimos, debe haber comunicación con las cantinas y tener los lugares suficientes ya reservados para la gente que llega, en el Tenampa solo tenían mesa para 18 personas y eramos como 50, TODAS las cantinas debieran ofrecer Botana al comprar bebidas y NO fue así. por eso mi calificación. La Cantina LA MASCOTA, EXCELENTE TRATO, AMBIENTE, COMIDA,…”
