Jorge was great - There were four of us on the tour and it was unanimous, we loved it! The amount of food that you get to sample is amazing, you will not leave hungry. The quality of the food is incredible too and Jorge explains everything in a very informative and pleasant way. I would highly recommend this tour and can't say enough good things about what a great tour guide and nice person Jorge is. Our friends are back on the same cruise with their family in May and they are determined to book it again!

7 stops..I was full after 3rd. Great experience!! - We did the food tour on a cruise ship stop. Booked directly. Communication was terrific (we were time zone confused). If you are a foodie, this is for you. Our guide was fantastic. Highly recommend this experience.

Great option for cruise passengers in Progreso! - I did this tour in Progreso with my teenage boys as a cruise excursion. We very much enjoyed it! Jorge took us to some delicious places, and when he told us about the culture and history while we were eating, we learned a lot. Unfortunately he shared a lot of his info while we were walking from place to place, so unless you were right next to him, you couldn't hear what he said. Also the meeting place was kind of tough to find, because it's a small sign on a big art piece. But we absolutely did enjoy ourselves, and would happily go again!
