E.g. if you wanna visit a place that is not part of the default itinerary (e.g. attraction, restaurant, or market), you can do it on a complimentary basis if this visit (1) still fits the default duration of the tour and (2) doesn't involve a major change of the route. If both conditions are met, we can shorten the stay at a particular location included in the program of tour so that you have time to visit the place you are interested in. Other changes such as extending the duration of the tour, changing the route, and adding extra participants, should be communicated to the Company at least 48h before the tour and will involve an extra fee.

IMPORTANT: This experience is not a luxury dining tour. During the Michelin Taco Tour, travelers will visit three traditional taquerías — simple, authentic eateries that capture the true essence of Mexican street food. Although these locations are modest in appearance, each has been recognized by the Michelin Guide for the outstanding quality and flavor of their tacos and is officially listed on the Michelin website. Please note that this tour emphasizes culinary authenticity, local culture, and genuine street food excellence, rather than fine-dining ambiance or upscale settings.
PRICE: Please note that the price you paid includes a commission from the online platform where it’s sold—often up to 30%—which limits our flexibility to offer discounts or other price reductions.
