About this activity

One of the best things to do in Mexico City during Mondays when all museums are closed and also for the Lagunilla's Sunday funday

Markets are Mexican culture at its best. They are an essential part of the country where you feel immersed in art, traditions, colors, flavors, music and magic

You'll visit 3 markets: La Ciudadela (the largest handcraft market in Mexico), San Juan (understand why and how the Mexicas ate insects) and Sonora Market (where traditional plant medicine - Herbolaria & esotericism meet).

There's also an option that includes a STREET FOOD TOUR

And if you're here on a Sunday, we recommend La Lagunilla option. Part of the biggest street market in the world where you can find everything from clothing, to antiques, drinks, art, improvised sonidero raves and even artists that will give you a haircut or a tattoo

At Frida Tours, we not only give tours, we craft memories.

Plus, we're the only tour agency in Mexico owned & operated by women for all kinds of travelers.
