Tasty Tour of Local Merida Cuisine - Adrian is a fantastic guide! We toured through a dozen places, all locally-owned. The food was varied, delicious, and Adrian had all kinds of stories and info about the dishes as Merida itself. Highly recommend!

Night market tour beats any day tour! - This experience was truly one of a kind. We liked that it was offered at night, as most of our actives were already during the day. Our guide, Nestor, was very knowledgeable and interesting as he led us around the market, sampling everything from el pastor, to different types of tacos. But it wasn't' just the market! After we left the market, we wandered the streets of the city while he shared some history, took us to spots we might not venture into on our own (one was right across the street from our lodging!). We ate so much, but we also understood what made these food special, how they were prepared. We've tired a lot of foods in Merida and being chefs, we are quite critical. You could tell that the spots that were chosen, were chosen for a reason. All the flavors were on point and prepared with passion. If you come with a partner, don't be afraid to ask to share portions, because it is a lot of food! This is an amazing tour and Nestor was great!

Excellent food tour - Our guide Adrian was excellent! We loved the tour, we left stuffed with 15+ tastings, a great variety of food and drinks in local establishments that we would have never discovered otherwise. I also liked that the guide gave us cultural insights throughout the tour.

Twilight Tastes Tour was a great experience - Wonderful! Adrian Diaz paced the 4-hour afternoon/evening walk nicely for our group of friends. He won my heart in the first bakery, and broke it by saying goodbye after the waffle crepe with Edam cheese. All the food stops were great, his explanations were helpful, and as a long-time licensed guide, Adrian knew so much about Yucantan history, especially indigenous and immigrant influences on cuisine in different time periods. He was careful to keep us out of the skinned-carcass side of the markets, but this is a seriously local tour of working class shops and stalls in back alleys. Do yourself a favor and take this tour.

Excellent street food tour in the Merida markets - This tour was great and Adrian was an excellent guide, telling us lots of interesting details about the food, its production, and other info. We went to loads of food outlets we’d never have discovered ourselves. We started with a delicious cheese bolita from a bakery, then headed into a couple of markets where visited loads of stalls and ate tacos and tortillas every which way, finishing at a bar for a beer. It was a small group, all really nice people, and we had a great time.

Best food tour ever?? - This is the best food tour I have been on. Nestor was an absolute gem of a guide, and knew so much about the rich history of Mexico, and the Yucutan Peninsula. We ate over 15 incredible dishes over 4 hours as we walked through the rich culture of Merida. This is a 1000/10 food tour, couldn't recommend enough!
