Fabulous experience. Arrive hungry! - We really enjoyed this small group tour (max 10) . Brian took us to the locals' market, where we selected the ingredients for tacos, which we then made and ate. After that, we tried a range of local foods, including quesadillas, mole, chocolate, local drinks and churros. Brian explained a lot about the different foods. Simply walking around the market was interesting too. We finished the tour with a cocktail at the centre.

Where tourists don’t go - Wonderful experience visiting the second largest market in Mexico. We ended up tasting 8 different foods and drinks. This is the market used by the locals and we saw almost no other tourists the entire time. The place is a maze and we never could have had the same experience on our own.

Great fun and learning experience! - This was a really fun and interesting tour, mainly inside the huge market which is frequented mostly by locals. Our guide Yahel took us to a variety of stands, where we tried many snacks and learned about them too.

Excellent tour - plenty of walking to work off all the young food! - This was a really fun and interesting tour. Our Guide Bryan was so informative and knew all the best places in a market that would have been impossible to navigate without him. The Market id enormous and a literal maze so attempting it on your own would be foolish. As it was we walked from one delightful food stall to the next. Oaxaca has the best food in Mexico and all of it was delicious.

Great experience with many culinary impressions - In fact, only one market was visited, but it was huge. We tried and tasted a lot of things that I wouldn’t have dared otherwise. There were no great explanations, it was more about the multitude of courts. But questions could be asked and they were answered well.
