Thorough Introduction to Merida's Top Culinary Offerings - One of the best food tours I've ever done! Annette was a wealth of culinary information and culinary insights, taking our group on a pleasant strolling tour of Merida's best specialities, from cochinita pibil to panuchos, salbutes, tacos al pastor and aguas frescas. This tour was a terrific way to get an introduction to the food scene in Merida, and a sense of the city itself. It was truly a highlight of our visit.

Best Food-Best Guide-Best Tour - Marcus was a wonderful guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and respectful to his tour group as well as to others he interacted with in the course of our tour. Marcus patiently answered all our questions and introduced us to Yucatan cooking methods, food favorites, and traditions that originated in Mayan culture. Warning: DO NOT eat before this tour, because each person will be eating and drinking enough food/drink to satisfy a hungry family of four!! And, it’s all delicious!!

Delicious food tour! - We had a wonderful tour of so many tastes of the Yucatán on a tour with our guide, Marcos. He explained so much about the various foods we tried - and there were a lot! - while walking through the markets and food stalls around the grand plaza. This is your chance to try all the best foods of Merida!

Wonderful culinary and cultural experience. - This was an amazing tour! 10/10 would recommend. If you are curious about Yucatán cuisine, and want a great cross section in one night this is perfect. Fernando guided us expertly through the market to food vendors that I would never have the knowledge or confidence to find on my own.
