One discovery of the nicest foods in the markets of Merida full of life and joyful . - We have walked in the center of Merida with our guide Luz Ontiveros , visited 2 markets with 10 different stands to learn vegetables , juice fruits , fruits and ice creams and taste the foods ( including spices not too strong !) . Luz explains everything clearly and still smiling or laughing with our reactions . Great experience and very good memories.

A top excursion! - A top-notch visit, brilliantly orchestrated by Diego who really took the time to introduce us to a multitude of fruits, herbs and typical dishes of the Yucatan. I didn't expect to eat so much, I recommend having a light breakfast because bellies are quite full at the end of the visit. I loved everything and so did my wife, we recommend this tour 100%!

Tastes of Yucatan - This was a great introduction to the tastes of Yucatan. We tried it all...fruits, vegetables, spices, beverages, and the traditional prepared foods, including pork, turkey, chicken, and cheeses. Most of the tour is within the market, so you get a good feel for how the locals shop and eat.

Our heartfelt thanks to Luz for making us feel a part of the local community! - Luz provided a terrific walking food tour. We learned so much about how the many fruits, vegetables, and spices are used for daily meals. She created an atmosphere that made us feel like we belonged within the setting and atmosphere - and all the food was FABULOUS!!!

The best walking food tour I've ever taken! - Of all the Mexican/Central American walking food tours I've taken, this was by far the best. Our guide, Luz, pointed out some historic buildings on the Zocalo and then took us into the market for two hours of tasting fruit, pibil, tacos, and so more more at numerous stalls. She's clearly well known by the vendors and admired by them. After the market we went for ceviche and wrapped with ice creatm. Luz was just amazing! Excellent English. Knowledgeable about everything we sampled and able to tell us stories about history and modern-day use. Book this tour and ask that Luz be your guide!

Fantastic culinary experience - This is a fantastic introduction to the local foods. I learned so much about the local fruits, vegetables, spices and recipes at the market.

Delicious food and good explanation - incredible experience for a first day in Mérida, I went with my husband and we were delighted with the visit to the market, Laura, our guide, introduced us to the vendors and gave us samples of a great variety of local dishes and fruits. Laura explained very patiently and we enjoyed every thing, I couldn't decide a favorite, fantastic experience! We had ceviche for lunch and the ice cream was a great ending.

Insight into Yucatan food - Great selection of food and kind guide (Diego) explaining how the Yucatecan eat the dishes. It was nice to hide from the sun in the market where we tried most of the food - ending at a restaurant in the area. For those considering to sign up: remember to skip breakfast and enjoy while trying a bit of everything :-)
