The Shared tour leaves from 3 meeting points in Mexico City at 07:30 or 12:30, Monday to Saturday. There is no hotel pickup. The MX$210 ticket is in the price. A guide leads you through the zone for 3 hours, and the day lasts 6 hours.

Despite the product name, the itinerary lists a stop at a craft workshop with a tasting, 35 minutes long. The listing gives no group size. Rated 5.0 from 661 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together.
