Tacos and tequila - We had a great time on our tour! The food was delicious and they offered a vegetarian option for me, our guide, Ben, was knowledgeable about the history of Old Town and had some great recommendations for the rest of our trip.

Great experience - We had a great tour with Raul. The food was amazing and we think it was good value for money - we were both very full afterwards! It was pouring down with rain on the evening that we went, but that didn't distract from the experience at all. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Yum, lots of fun but time the sun - Great good, very interesting history, nice guide (Scott)
Keep in mind the sun sets early in the winter so part of the tour was in the dark.

Overpriced and poor quality - Unorganized and tour lacking stories and facts about the locations, no time provided to explore and felt very rushed. The food was good but drinks were just okay.
Stopped at only 2 restaurants and was provided chips, a small taco, and tequila at the first, and then chips, small taco, and cheaply made margarita at the second. We then stopped for the “full dessert” at a small shop and was provided a single churro. The tour didn’t include any information about the restaurants or many facts about the few stops we made.
