Great Tour which We Recommend - Diego was a great guide and very knowledgeable about Mexican food. We had tastes of many different types of fruit and had some samples to take away with us. The various spices we were shown were fascinating as were the stalls in the market where tortillas were being made. We were so full after trying so many delicious foods that we skipped having an evening meal that evening.

Culinary discovery - This was a deliciously awesome experience in Merda's market that you can only have by hiring a guide. Diego is an extremely nice person, knolegable and passionate of the Yucatan food. We tasted many local fruits and then different food with amazing flavours. Kastacan was our favourite. We ended with marchesitas and ice cream. After the tour we received an email from Diego with a detailed description of the tour so we can remember the names of different foods and a cookbook. We highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Mayan Food Tour - We had a great tour around Mérida with Diego! We learned a lot and of course had a bunch of amazing food. We walked around the markets first and tried native fruits and vegetables, spices, and candies. We then headed to three different restaurants/stands where we tried Mayan cuisine. We ended with a delicious scoop of gelato. Highly recommend!

Street Food Tour in Mérida - We enjoyed our culinary experience at the Merida market, our guide Zulma Marin made us discover all... or at least many flavors of her beautiful country with a lot of explanations and good humor. She made herself available at the last moment because by mistake we were sent an English speaking guide! the atmosphere of the market and the beautiful products enchanted us, to do absolutely in this beautiful city of Mérida.
