Great tour! A little Puebla history and a full tummy of local treats... - Our culinary tour of Puebla with Ronnie was excellent! Not only did we get to taste some very authentic and yummy local delicacies, but Ronnie gave us a ton of good details about the city's history, pointed out some key sites that are not to be missed. We stopped a couple places we were interested in aside from the food tastings, and he was flexible on routing. To get a good overview of Puebla's historic district and learn about the food of the region, this is a good start. Be prepared to walk off calories - it's steps but really no difficult climbs. Highly recommend!

Do it! - Perfect.
I have done many food tours. The length of time for this one was perfect. About 2.5 - 3 hours. Some get way too long.
The food choices were delicious and reflected the culture of Puebla. Ronnie was a great host.

Had a great time on the (much more than a...) culinary tour - This is a fun, well-paced culinary tour of Puebla. We walked, we snacked, we walked some more. Our guide, Ronnie, was as well-versed in the food side of the city as historical. He had a lot of great ideas for where to eat, which museums to visit and more. Highly recommended.
Note that to find the tour, the instructions are really confusing—ignore the bit about the bronze miniature map of the city. Just go to the Puebla tourism office. When you enter the door, the city's public tourist office is to the left. Look to your right and you'll see some small booths with private tour operators. Tip Tours is in the far right corner.

A great way to experience the food and history of Puebla. - My husband grew up in Puebla, but loves and misses the food. We enjoyed visiting many historical places around the historical center of the city. We visited 5 different restaurants and tried a variety of food. Yes, there was a lot of walking, but it was nice as it provided a good way to see the city and also to digest a bit before the next restaurant. Our guide was very good. I was a little surprised when purchasing the tour that for a Spanish language tour it was $50, but for an English language tour it was $70. We took the Spanish tour, and I think it was well worth the price. I thought we were going to be giving a cook book, but we weren't. I'm sure we can get recipes online.

Best way to get to know Puebla! - We had a wonderful tour with Ronnie. He is clearly passionate and extremely well informed about his city and is proud to introduce it to visitors.
Ronnie really made us feel at home from the very beginning. At the start of the tour, he took us to his favorite bakery to try some delicious tamales and traditional bread. We then visited a local market for a quesadilla, a quaint restaurant for the different types of mole, and a popular spot for tacos al arabe. This was all between walking around historic Puebla, trying traditional Puebla snacks and dulces. Ronnie also gave us some wonderful recommendations for dinner, drinks, shopping, etc. It was a wonderful way to really experience this beautiful city and should be the first stop for any one coming to visit Puebla. Would highly recommend!

you will walk. and you will eat. - Our guide, Jose Luiz, was a character unto himself, maybe 70 with a nice walking stick. While very informative of each location and restaurant, he was also a joy to listen to with jokes and funny stories to fill the walk. He answered all of our questions, both in Spanish for me and then English for my wife. We got to sample several different foods in various places. All were excellent. Our guide let us decide what to try and explained the spiciness level so that it wasn’t overpowering. We also went to areas that were off the beaten path and really showed us life outside the tourist area. This was a tour my wife wanted to take and I was not too keen on going. To my surprise, I really enjoyed myself and our time with Jose Luiz. I highly recommend this tour…
