Lauren L.

The best walking food tour that we have taken. Carlos is knowledgable and passionate about his Valladolid and Mayan heritage and the food that brings people together. He is also relatable as he spent some time on the Canadian prairies for his education.

We would highly recommend this tour for its wonderful food, history of the region and the exemplary tour guide.

Una mañana maravillosa con un guía fantástico, muy recomendable para degustar especialidades que de otro modo serían difíciles de probar para los turistas

We loved our Valladolid food tour. Everything we ate was fantastic, and we got to visit a lot of little restaurants that wouldn't have been on our radar otherwise. A really good tour!

Yucatan Flavors: A Gastronomic Tour of Merida with Alex. A one-of-a-kind Farm

Our guide was Alex. He was excellent, tolerant, caring, kind, and very pleasant conversationalist. He took us to taste great Mexican food and many types of food explaining everything. Highly recommend. He spared no expense. It was very interesting and, fun.
