The Perfect Food and Beverage Highlights - Not only did we get introduced to great local foods we also had an excellent experience with our guide, Carlos. As a local his personal stories of the local foods he introduced us to made the experience that much more enjoyable. Ask for Carlos! But, you will enjoy the heart of the city along with a variety of foods (including dessert and drink). Buen Provecho!

Great experience! - We really enjoyed this tour. The food was awesome and our tour guide was really engaging. She chose a good variety of food for us in the indoor market and also provided us with some historical and cultural background about the city and recommended other things to see and do. If you love food, book this tour!

GDL street food ❤ - Carlos was very courteous, knowledgeable and really know his places to go eat authentic food from the region. Me and my wife had a great time visiting the Mercado Libertad - San Juan De Dios and Mercado Corona. Word of caution, go with an empty stomach in order to eat your heart out! Cheers. Angel.

Really great time - all around great tour - Found the tour to be a great way to learn about the city, it's art and culture but most importantly, great food. Our guide was knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely seemed to enjoy his job and love his city. Wonderful variety of items to taste and try - go hungry and/or bring a friend to share a few items with - so you can try more!

So much food! - Guadalajara and Jalisco have very unique foods that you won't find in a typical "Mexican" restaurant in the US and many other parts of Mexico. Our tour guide Carlos was very personable, we talked about a lot different stuff, from food to Netflix to travel experiences. Definitely pace yourself, because you have the opportunity to order whatever you want at each station, but keep in mind that you will be eating multiple delicious things!

Good tour - We enjoyed the tour, felt like we got a good taste of the culture and it was good for the price. Our guide was over 30 minutes late to meet us and there was no communication from the company. This was frustrating as it was a good tour and we were all getting hungry. Other than that good tour and good food.

Unable to Contact Guide - Was running late to the meet up due to issues with the bus, which was 100% my fault not leaving early enough. However, I tried for a long time to reach the guide in an attempt to let them know I’d be late and was looking to meet up with them somewhere along the route so I’d could attend at least part of the tour. The guide ignored my calls and 24 hours after the tour still hasn’t answered my messages. I was only able to reach Viator support who said my refund was up to the guide, and could take several days. Very disappointed.

Disaster - Don't bother booking this tour. The guide won't show up, Viator will not provide support. Probably better to use a different platform.
