Top Notch - Our family of five (2 adults and three kids, ages 21, 20 and 20) loved our "Beginner's Guide" street food tour. Our guide, Clara, was exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced (with multiple roles in the Mexican culinary industry), so we learned a tremendous amount while remaining completely relaxed and enjoying ourselves immensely.

A wonderful experience! - We had a wonderful Gourmet San Juan Market & Street Food tour with Clara! Our family of seven people, which ranged in age (12 - 52), cuisine type (pescatarian, vegetarian, gluten-free, omnivorous), and spice level (cautious to adventurous) all ate well and learned an enormous amount. We discovered a number of items that we purchased to enjoy again, but did not feel pressured to buy, and Clara did a fantastic job of helping us navigate the different options.
