Things to do in Mexico designed for foreigners

Arriving in Mexico is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming: the food, the customs, the language, the celebrations. Our experiences are designed so you understand what you see and taste, with local hosts who explain the why behind everything.

  • Dinners for foreigners: multi-course menus through Mexico's regions, with the story of every dish. See Mexican food tasting.
  • Blind dinners: a journey through Mexico blindfolded, with a final reveal. See blind dinner.
  • Mezcal and tequila tastings: learn to tell them apart with producers. See mezcal and tequila tasting.
  • Immersive theater and dinners: legends like La Llorona or the Day of the Dead told by actors while you dine. See the event catalog.
  • Immersive folk ballet: Mexican dance from the inside. See immersive folk ballet.

If you're moving to Mexico

Our adaptation course for foreigners teaches you in a few hours what takes others months: customs, food, safety, common scams, money, paperwork and survival Spanish. It's the fastest way to understand Mexico.

Open and private events

You can come alone to an open-date event and meet other travelers and locals, or book a private event for your group, family or company. We host tourists, expats, exchange students, digital nomads and companies with relocated staff. More in digital nomads and expats and tour groups.

History and culture in every scene

In all our events, the hosts' dialogue and the activities are written with real information about Mexican history and culture. You have fun and, without noticing, you learn.
