Great food and insightful historic information. Highly recommend. - Our tour guide Al was great!
He took us to taco stands, restaurants and aqua fresca stand to try various tacos, tostada, aqua fresca, coffee, chocolate and even tequila tasting. In addition to the great food and beverage sampling, Al gave us insightful historic information of the town, restaurant and landmarks. Definitely worth the price. We highly recommend this tour.

A great way to spend a few hours. A delightful experience outside the resort - It was a great experience. Very good guide, she was likeable and knowledgeable. Im more of a meat taxo kind of guy and there was some fish tacos that i wouldnt usually eat but i tried them and really enjoyed them so i have opened my palkwt to more options in the future. Im glad we did it. I personally found the spice levels fairly low , but i am a beast with spice.... for a gringo, so most people will be fine in my opinion. I tipped our guide, no one else did, i think it would be nice to do so, only if you enjoyed yourself of course. All in all i would do it again. I also ate goat, definitely out of my comfort zone, not unlike a "normal" meat like chicken or beef .

This is a must tour. Your taste buds will thank you. - We went Maho as our guide. We were lucky enough to be on the tour with just our family. While my wife and I have done the tour before, we took our daughters this time. 12 and 7 years of age. They both loved the tacos and have mentioned it many times since we have been home. We hit up the brother in law tacos a few days later and ran into Maho taking people on another tour. I strongly suggest this tour. You will go to places that have amazing food and learn history too.

Real local cuisine. - Our guide, Joanna, was well spoken, entertaining and very knowledgeable about the history of the local cuisine. We tried different tacos and mole enchiladas from small restaurants, agua fresca, flan, Mexican popsicles and a surprise or two not on the itinerary. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and educational experience I’d recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy real Mexican food off the main tourist drag.

A Perfectly Balanced and Memorable Food Tour with Alcibiades - Our guide, Alcibiades, gave us a wonderful experience—relaxed, delicious, and full of interesting insights. Each stop was memorable, and we left satisfied without feeling overly full.

Delightful & Delicious - There was a good amount of walking to 5 different taco and 1 dessert locations. The places selected are all based on taste, cleanliness and friendly staff. Our guide, Fernanda, made the whole experience delightful providing us with descriptions of the delicious food we were about to taste and making adjustments according to taste and/or allergies and also providing background stories related to the businesses. I walked away with at least 3 favorite plates. We had lots of fun trying food at unknown places with an exceptional guide.

Better like TACOS! - Tour guide was wonderful and very informative. Still, four stops for tacos and one final stop for a solitary enchilada was a little disappointing.
