Amazing! - We had an amazing time and they took us to very local places that we wouldn’t have found by our selves!
You could also hear the passion for food was real and we learned a lot!

Exceeding expectations - This tour truly exceeded our expectations. Our guide Jorge was knowledgeable and fun, the best part was that he was in no hurry to be done. We made extra stops for some purchases, Jorge knew exactly what to do and where to go. I would recommend this experience with this tour company to anyone, including local ex pats that want to learn and experience a great culinary adventure.

Best food tour in Merida - This was hands-down, the best food tour in Merida. A special thank you to chef Alex and his cohost Andy for a spectacular and educational tour through the Mercados of Merida. The food and the tour were a great value. I highly recommend this tour!

The market was vibrant and full of warmth; people were so welcoming and proud of their food and culture. I went with my aunt, and we both loved every moment. Highly recommend this tour!

Mouth watering experience - I went with a friend and this was more fun than we expected. My friend is from Korea, she couldn’t stop eating this Mayan tasteful food.
Don’t miss the chance to live a foodie adventure!

Vegetarian? No problem! - This experience totally exceeded my expectations! I always thought Mexican food was very meat-heavy, but our guide took us to hidden gems with incredible vegetarian options, even the non-vegetarians in our group loved them.
Beyond the food, we learned about the history of Mexican cuisine and how many ancient civilizations actually ate very little meat.
A unique and highly recommended tour. Don’t miss it!
