Tasting Adventure of a Lifetime! - What an incredible experience! I had an incredible solo journey with the wonderful Dania. We ate, laughed, chatted our way through the streets of Merida. Every step of the way was such a wonderful time. I HIGHLY recommend booking this tour ASAP! 💛

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Must-Do Food Tour in Mérida with Dania! - While visiting Mérida on vacation, we decided to book a food tour and it ended up being one of the best parts of our trip. Our guide, Dania, was absolutely amazing! She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel fun and authentic. Not only did we get to try incredible local foods, but Dania also explained the history and cultural significance behind everything we ate, which made it even more meaningful. She knew exactly where to take us and introduced us to places we never would’ve found on our own. Every stop was delicious, well-planned, and a perfect mix of traditional Yucatán flavors. Dania also gave us great recommendations for other restaurants and things to do around Mérida, which was super helpful for the rest of our trip. If you’re in Mérida, I highly recommend doing this food tour—especially if Dania is your guide. She made the experience unforgettable!

Virgin de Guadalupe - If the Virgin de Guadalupe were ever to visit Merida I'd advise her contact Jorge Casal on where to eat. Was with a friend and her mother (84) with 2 canes. His patience, knowledge and smile made the visit THE BEST!

A GREAT day with Dania! - What an experience! Between Dania's laid back personality and depth of knowledge, this tour was a highlight of our trip to Western Yucatan. Merida is a beautiful city with beautiful people and with Dania leading the way, we not only learned so much about the cuisine and culture of the city, but we learned that we want to come back and see more. Thank you again, Dania, for a wonderful time! Oh, if you take this tour, come hungry!

This was a fun day - We had a great day with Dania. We have typically avoided organized tours but are so glad we were on this one. Our tour started on time, and we got right to it. Come hungry and bring a hat. You are going to eat, walk and meet some terrific people. There is a schedule, but using a famous line from Pirates Black Pearl, it is just a guideline... Knowing there is another stop is the only thing that got us moving a couple of times. We had a fun time visiting with each other. Dania did a good job explaining where we were location wise. She kept bringing us back to the included food and beverages we enjoyed at each of the stops. This tour was a mix of landmarks, history and food. We encourage you to book and enjoy your Merida Food Tour.

Yucatan Food Adventure - Wonderful exposure to Yucatan food with visits to several locally owned establishments. Cocktails with local influences was a great way to end the tour. Wear good walking shoes and bring a healthy appetite.
