Our tour guide Lalo was awesome! We never felt rushed, and talking with him was so easy. The food was fantastic, and each location was very accommodating to our group. It was a bit of walking, but there were lots of breaks! This was a great experience for our group and a good way to sample some of the local food. I only wish we had time to try out Lalo's restaurant too!

I didn’t know what to expect from this tour, but it completely exceeded my expectations! It was such a fun and authentic experience, and every stop felt unique and thoughtfully chosen. The food was incredible every bite was delicious and memorable. I also loved discovering places I would have never found on my own.
