Fabulous - Loved everything on this tour. Walking in the streets and shopping for ingredients for salsa and then making and eating it too with Napoletas tacos. Just yummy. Sharon was awesome. Perfect English speaking guide.

Incredible experience!! - Incredible experience! From start to finish, Mena was enthusiastic, knowledgable, and overall the best guide. We got to visit markets we'd never have come across otherwise, learn the history of each and behind some of the beautiful art within those markets, and have the best salsa we'd ever made! The salsa cooking lesson was so much fun and, of course, delicious. Thanks for this experience, Mena. I would encourage anyone considering this experience to go ahead and book :)
