Excellent food tour - This was a great food tour - very authentic. A lot of food tours take you to really touristy places, but this one takes you to places that tourists don’t know about.

Excellent Food Tour - Alex was an excellent guide. All the food we tried was delicious. I really liked the explanations of the foods we tried and learning more about the history of yucatecan cuisine.

Learned & Ate A Lot - I finally got to try the food I see on the menus when I go out to eat in the Yucatan. Alex was very knowledgeable and pleasant. I was so engaged that the time flew by and there was more than plenty to eat on this tour. I would recommend this tour as a great introduction to the local cuisine.

Wonderful! - I learned so many things on this tour and tasted so much food, I was ready to pop. The guide, Alex, was fantastic! Very personable, knowledgeable, and patient. I definitely recommend this tour to everyone, especially foodies! Just one note: Do NOT eat any meals before taking the tours because you will need all the room in your belly for all of the food on the tour!

Great way to explore local food beyond tourist areas - I enjoyed this tour! Our guide Annette was wonderful - she explained the history of all the food choices and was happy to answer many other questions as well. I learned a lot about Merida and the Yucatan - beyond the food. This is not a touristy activity - we went to markets where local residents shop and work. I’m always interested the lives of local residents, and this tour definitely shows you genuine part of Merida.

Manuel is your best foodie - Excellent tour, I was fortunate to have the tour to myself and it was an amazing experience. Manuel not only picked Top-rated places, but also through history gave context to each dish
