A wonderful tour around a busy food market, tasting foods with a knowledgeable guide. - A memorable tour around a busy local food market with an excellent guide.
Our guide, Gisell Chay, had a deep knowledge of food and an enthusiasm for local flavours and food pairing. We visited a range of food stalls for tasting food and drinks before visiting a small local restaurant for a main dish. The last stop was ice cream and sorbets with local flavours.
After the tour we received an email with notes on what we had tasted along with some local recipes.

Great Experience for First Time Visitors - My husband and I booked this tour because it was our first time to Merida, and we don't speak Spanish. It was amazing! Going to the local market on our own would have been intimidating, but our guide, Luz, made the experience very comfortable. She was so knowledgeable and friendly, and we felt instantly at ease. The food we tried was incredible (and plentiful!). Come hungry. You will not be disappointed!

Best guide ever! - The food was absolutely over-the-top good, a mix of a few familiar things and a large number of wonderful things we've never had before. In addition, our guide, Gisele, made everything so very easy and clear, covering for where my very limited Spanish would not have gotten me by and explaining what everything we tasted was made of, how it was used, and all the information the wannabe chefs out there could really use.

Tasty! - Our guide Luz was awesome! It did take us a few to finely meet up with her but when we did it was amazing. Expect to walk a lot of the city, although it was worth it for the food. Luz also was good at giving us history and back ground of the Yucatan culture. All in all a great experience for tasting local foods!

Authentic and delicious experience - We had an amazing time on the street food tour with Diego! He was not only knowledgeable but also super friendly and passionate about sharing the flavors of Yucatan with us. We were thrilled to try so many authentic Yucatecan dishes—each one better than the last! It was such a unique way to experience the local culture, and Diego gave us great insights into the history and traditions of Merida and Mexico. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious experience!
