Wonderful tour with Laura. She is a very careful guide and explains with accuracy her commentary about food and Maya cooking traditions.
Very good tour and guide! Would recommend
This 3-hour food tour in Mérida is so much more than tasting some local dishes. Laura literally and figuratively guided us through the culinary history of Yucatan and the importance of Mérida in this. We came to places where we as tourists might not go ourselves and were allowed to get acquainted with typical Yucatan food laced with Mayan influences. It was all very fresh, very pure, authentic and above all very tasty. Moreover, this way you support the locals. Overall it was a unique, educational and very nice experience with our passionate guide Laura. A real must-do for any tourist exploring that region. We also received some nice pictures via email afterwards. Great job Laura from Eating with Carmen! A big merci from Nadine, Danny, Noor and Daan

We had an amazing experience exploring Mérida with Fernando as our local guide. He took us to several authentic local spots where we enjoyed delicious traditional food and refreshing fruit-flavored waters that we probably would have never found on our own. Fernando was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the local culture, history, and cuisine. He made us feel welcome from the moment we met and provided great recommendations throughout the tour. If you’re visiting Mérida and want a genuine local experience with great food and drinks, I highly recommend Fernando. Thank you for making our visit memorable!
