Must do to discover the taste of Yucatan - Wonderful and delicious. Zulma showed us all around the market of Merida. We tasted many different foods, drinks and spices. Finished with a very good ceviche and surprising flavors at the ice-cream parlor.

Highlights to local food with helpful, knowledgable guide - We speak only a little Spanish and thus are very glad to have participated in this tour, where the gilde can speak English. She was very helpful and knowledgable. We were able to taste some of the best streetfood from the stands at the local market - which we otherwise would never find by ourselves. We were introduced to typical spices in local dishes, tasted various tropical fruits and candies, got the for lunch the most delicious, well prepared cerviche in my life, and finally finished the tour with nice icecreme. The guide gave us some tips about restaurants and told us about a cultural event in the evening, which we might miss otherwise. We would totally recommend this tour to food-lovers as us.

Proper Mexican food - Lovely relaxed and informative wander around two of Merida’s main markets with Zulma including lovely local dishes and people. Fantastic induction into Mexican food culture. Two kids (10 and 7 easily) catered for. We did this at the very beginning of our holiday and it gave me so much confidence to just stroll into any mercado and just get stuck in. Also , so many places I just would have walked past as I would not have thought they were even open. Amazing experience!

Such a great tour - Our tour guide Luz was awesome. The tour was super fun and interesting (and also delicious- everything we ate was excellent). We learned a lot and had a really good time. It’s hard to find something that ticks boxes for everyone as a family tour but the adults and a 17, 15 and 11 year old all really enjoyed it. Gracias Luz!
