Great tour with many stops to taste, smell and try - We had our fantastic food tour with Gisell, who gave us a lot of background and not only answered our food related questuions but also about culture, people and history. We enjoyed the tour very much and the amount of stops to taste even spices and herbs was exceptional, we did a lot of tours in other parts of the world already but this was definitely one of our best.

Best Intro to Yucatán Street Food - Luz is a very knowledgeable and helpful guide. Thanks to her, we hat the best start in our 3-weeks Mexico trip. We tried the most popular street foods of Yucatán, which was later helpful to know what to order when we were traveling on our own.

An excellent discovery of the Yucatheque market and cuisine - I really recommend this tour with Luz. We discovered Merida from another angle and tested great products in places we wouldn’t go on our own. Luz informed us about the products consumed daily in Yucatecan cuisine. A great time. Merci Luz

Highlights to local food with helpful, knowledgable guide - We speak only a little Spanish and thus are very glad to have participated in this tour, where the gilde can speak English. She was very helpful and knowledgable. We were able to taste some of the best streetfood from the stands at the local market - which we otherwise would never find by ourselves. We were introduced to typical spices in local dishes, tasted various tropical fruits and candies, got the for lunch the most delicious, well prepared cerviche in my life, and finally finished the tour with nice icecreme. The guide gave us some tips about restaurants and told us about a cultural event in the evening, which we might miss otherwise. We would totally recommend this tour to food-lovers as us.
