Delicious food with an excellent host! - We loved touring the markets and trying the local cuisine with Marcus! The food was delicious and the vendors were so friendly. We got to try so much of the local cuisine. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Marcus as a guide.

Food Tour in Mérida - We had such a great time with Laura on our experience today. She was so knowledgeable about the local food and culture. It was just my husband and I on today’s tour but she was quickly accommodating and modified our plan so that we could try more foods that we hadn’t tried yet. If we ever find ourselves in another location with “Eating with Carmen” we will definitely use this program again. Thank you for your kindness and excitement Laura!
