Food tour - From beginning to end it was fantastic. It was the perfect amount of food and took a perfect amount of time. There was a lot of great information and it was awesome meeting the local business owners.
The group we did the tour with was awesome as well which made it that much better.
I would not hesitate to do this tour again. Worth the time and money.

We enjoyed this tour... - We enjoyed this tour immensely.
Jane’s vast knowledge of Mexican food history and her storytelling enhanced the tour even more. The venues served delicious food.

A highlight of our trip to Huatulco - My husband and I attended the Huatulco Walking Food Tour one afternoon/evening in mid December. I had to twist my husband's arm to come along but he was pleasantly surprised and we both enjoyed it very much. He said it was a highlight of our trip and I agree. Jane's love and respect for the community and its people is evident as she shares her knowledge of history and cuisine of the area. The food was delicious at all the stops. We highly recommend!

Walking and Eating! - Overall it was a good experience. Ben the tour guide was informative, friendly, and energetic. Some small tweaks: have the tour guide arrive a little earlier before start time so we know we are in the right place. Next - we do not need to stop in stores (spending time in a crafts shop and an expensive jewelry store) - maybe there is a deal with these shop owners but unrelated to the food tour. These shops could easily just be recommendations but do not need to take time on the tour for it. There should also be a printed list of recommended restaurants for the guests as well. Lastly, we all shared desserts/treats on a roof top which was nice. However it was a little windy and we had to place our food on thin napkins. It would have been easier to have paper plates. A small suggestion would be to eat the savory food first (tacos and tamales, and then end it with the sweets). At the end, it would also be easier if we were walked to our original destination. But overall I do recommend this tour to learn more about the food and culture!

Good not Great - We like to start most of our holidays with a walking food tour. It’s a great way to get to know the area and get a sense of the food, the history, and culture of a place.
We chose this tour because of the rave reviews especially of Jane. We did not get Jane - which is fine, that’s the luck of the draw. The positive, there was a lot of food. Our guide was kind and did well answering our questions. The food was good (especially the tamales and tacos).
The negative. The pacing was off, the group was far too large (16-18) - it really should have been split in two, that would have solved most of the issues.
The guide began before 10am, which got things off on the wrong foot… some participants had not yet arrived. When walking, because the group was spread out, he would sometimes begin talking before everyone had arrived at the stop. Street crossings were sometimes unsafe.
Some activities (sharing pastries) may work well with a small group - but not with 16 people. Sitting in one spot for a long time and eating multiple things back to back (pastries, tamales, crickets, etc) is not what we have experienced on past tours… but that is a tour design choice - maybe some people prefer this format? If you asked me where a certain item came from (tamales) - I couldn’t tell you. It would have been nice to support that business further.
Sanitation was an issue - no hand sanitizer for 16 hands in little bags of food (a plastic spoon would have been an easy solution). Tip: BYO hand sanitizer.
The best part: supporting small businesses off the beaten path. The taco stop was great. Finishing with ice cream was great. Mezcal is mezcal…

Food tour with Jane - We did a tour with Jane. We had the opportunity to sample various restaurants in the local area. This is probably geared to people with absolutely no Mexican food knowledge. When we asked a few questions ( not that we are experts) regarding some of the foods, I got the feeling she didn't want to answer or we were brushed off. The name came up of a prominent cook regarding Al pastor. Her response was basically he's American( referring to not knowing his Mexican cooking)( she is from Canada !) I felt to be bad mouthing others in the industry is very unprofessional. The tour was almost three hours and we got to sample numerous dishes. Too bad it might have been more pleasant if we felt our tour guide was more friendly.
