Mexico City: Tacos, History & Hidden Stories
Go beyond the guidebooks to discover the food, stories and hidden corners that make Mexico City unforgettable
Mexico City seems to be on everybody’s list and there’s a reason why: the city is incredibly alive! There’s no doubt that you’re in the middle of a huge city. Buses flying by, you can feel the metro buzzing underground, people biking, motorcycling and mopeding everywhere! They dog walkers have as many as 15 dogs at a time and the sidewalks are lined with taco stands. Parks are nestled throughout the city and beautiful boulevard line each motorway - the city is almost busting at the seams with greenery.
There is so much to do here you could spend months in the city and still find surprising corners at every turn. Newberry Travel has put together a collection of activities that are locally owned businesses, female and family run and an itinerary that will help you understand, enjoy and experience the culture of the city.

Is this trip right for you?
Have you ever booked a trip because you couldn't stop thinking about the food?
Not in a fancy restaurant kind of way. More in a "tell me where the best tacos are, let's wander through a market, and please introduce me to whatever that delicious thing is" kind of way.
If that sounds familiar, welcome to Mexico City.
This long weekend is for the people who believe travel is best experienced through food, stories, and human connection. We'll spend our days exploring colorful neighborhoods, uncovering centuries of history, learning just enough Spanish to confidently order tacos, and discovering hidden corners of one of the most vibrant cities in the world. Along the way, we'll share meals, cocktails, laughs, and the kind of experiences that can't be found in a guidebook.
Because sometimes the best way to understand a place isn't by seeing more. It's by slowing down and to truly experience it.
You’d love this trip if you:
You want giggle with locals over your broken Spanish
Frida is a mystery to you and want to experience her colorful life
You’re not a city person but love spending days in parks and museums
You are short on PTO but really need a trip so rich in culture you’ll feel transported far away
Flying is the least favorite part of the trip, most big cities offer direct flights that are less than 4 hours
The idea of a morning walk surrounded by doggies, a bustling afternoon of people lining the streets by taco stands or music bursting out of buildings the streets fill with music sounds good to you.
