“Wonderful!! - I want to thank Diego and Victor for everything on my recent food tour. Diego was very helpful in greeting me and getting me to the border crossing. Once across, Victor was an amazing tour guide. There were only two people on our tour, he asked us what we would like to do and where we would like to go. There was snake and scorpion tequila. We ate not only at restaurants but sampled cheese, two different tequila spots and a candy store. The markets were amazing. Victor accommodated us when we needed to stop at an atm, and gave us his perspective as a native. I enjoyed this tour so much more than expected. Make sure to bring pesos and lots of spending money for the markets because you will want to buy stuff!! Also, be prepared to wait a lot when returning to the US.” - Reviewed at 2024-06-03
