Will be going again! - The food was delicious and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about Mexican food and Mexico in general. We will request the same guide next time.

Tasty, cultural, informative, fun. - Erin was amazing! She showed us places that we wouldn’t have gone to on our own. She shared not only several local dishes of Cozumel, but also the preparation and cultural aspects of each dish. If you want your tastebuds to explore more than just Señor Frogs while on the island, this is an absolute must. It was one of the biggest highlights of our trip. Thank you again Erin, you’re an incredible guide!

Must do Food Tour - FTW! - We met Erin at La Mega and quickly were guided into a taxi. Though we booked for just the two of us, fate intervened and we enjoyed a private food tour. Erin's English was fantastic and her knowledge of the island and food culture unmatched. We loved that every stop was a family-owned, local favorite, rather than targeted towards tourists. The market was especially interesting to see how islanders shop for their homes. Including the market, we went to 6 different places and left to our nap with incredibly full bellies and memories to share with friends.

Great food tour! - The food was delicious and our guide (Erin) was so knowledgeable about the local culture and the food. The food portions were not overwhelming (as we have had on other food tours that we have done) and the selection was quite varied. We definitely got to eat in some amazing family owned restaurants that wouldn't have otherwise popped up on our radar.

Real Mexican cuisine that the locals eat - Met by Jerry our guide, there were only 2 of us on the day and we had a fabulous tour of eateries off the beaten track. Felt safe and secure at all times, food was delicious at all the stops and authentic with as much or as little spice as you wanted. Jerry was very knowledgeable on history and the cuisine, the market stop off was a delight too. Really enjoyed our time.

Not for those that are allergic to Seafood! - While it was a great experience for those who eat seafood, not so much for those who don't. I was clear before the tour that one person in our party of 3 did not eat seafood, but at the end of the day, that wasn't taken into account. And yes, the Tour Guide suggested that perhaps the last place could be changed to fit the needs of the person who does not eat seafood, but by that time, they had already indicated the places we would go to and we did not feel it was ethical to change the plans because of one member in our party of 3. In the end, we stayed with the Taxi driver and avoided that place.
