Amazing food tour 10/10 - My wife and I wanted to experience local flavours and foods like a local would. We booked with The Lost Taco and it exceeded our expectations! Our host Carlos along with Ali were knowledgeable and friendly! I loved that we got to learn about the history and culture behind the food and how it was prepared while enjoying it. We were taken to spots we probably would have over looked just walking around ourselves. If you’re looking to have some amazing food and get to know Valladolid more I would highly recommend this tour! ⭐️

If you could only take one tour this would be the one. - The best walking food tour that we have taken. Carlos is knowledgeable and passionate about his Valladolid and Mayan heritage and the food that brings people together. He is also very relatable as he spent some time on the Canadian prairies for his education. We would highly recommend this tour for its wonderful food, history of the region and the exemplary tour guide.

Carlos’ Food Tour - Carlos was the best tour guide! You can tell his love of local food and culture and it was an amazing morning being shown around Valladolid by him. Highly recommend this tour as you will find hidden gems that can’t be found on google. Also come hungry! We split some of the things and still were stuffed!

Awesome food tour - We loved our Valladolid food tour. Everything we ate was fantastic, and we got to visit a lot of little local restaurants that wouldn’t have been on our radar otherwise. A really great tour!
