We had a fantastic time on our tour. Not only was our guide exceptionally knowledgeable about the food culture and history of the area, she readily answered all of our questions about the food, life in Cozumel, local culture, and we had just a great time with her! The food was delicious - we had pork pibil tacos, homemade juices and beverages, empanadas de queso, local chicken soup, pastries and more. Highly recommend!
Erin was super knowledgeable and friendly. Every where we went was family owned, off the tourist strip and not pre planned, as in the owners dont know if the tour is coming or not. So the food was fresh and ordered by us on arrival. All the seafood was amazing. Come hungry as its a lot in a short period of time.
We were lucky enough to get a private tour and had such an amazing time. My partner is super picky and it was not an issue at all. Food was delicious and we learned a ton about the local area and food.
Absolutely exceeded expectations. Best food tour possible.. my partner is vegetarian and eat mostly fish. Each stop featured a different style of food. The places were immaculately clean and the taste were a flavor bomb absolutely recommend this trip not something you wanna miss.
I can not rave enough about this excursion. Our guide was absolutely amazing!! My son said that was the best excursion we had been on. The food was amazing!!! It was awesome to see the market and how people on the island shop. The restaurants are off the main tourist area and are all locals that cook. If you are in Cozumel definitely book this. It is well worth your money!!!!!
Easy meet up with our guide who took us to small family-owned restaurants and explained the food, preparation, spices. Also visited local market and bakery. More than enough food and authentic juices and drinks. Get away from the crowds and enjoy this authentic local experience with a very knowledgeable guide!
