If you love food you need to book with marcos - Marcos was an excellent tour guide we ate at multiple local spots that’s we walked around 2 big markets. Marco’s was very knowledgeable friendly and he managed everything. Food was included in the tour he would order and pay for us. He also made sure portions were of value and filling.

A must see tour of Merida! - We had an amazing tour with Laura, who was a really excellent and knowledgeable guide. She explained all about Yucatan cuisine, and was so kind and helpful in going out of her way to help us have a great day. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to explore the amazing food of the Yucatan.

Although the tour... - Although the tour referenced "Eating with Carmen," Laura was my guide. I was solo on the tour so it was nice to have a private tour and one-on-one conversations with her. She was so knowledgeable and thorough about everything, from the people, to the monuments, and of course the food. She took photos of everything I ate (and drank) and me eating it 😀 Not only was she a tour guide, but she treated me as a friend and we laughed, joked around and even taught each other different languages. She was so pleasant to deal with and I would highly recommend her for this tour. Remember, her name is Laura (not Carmen) 🤪

A Food Fiesta - I so enjoyed all the amazingly delicious tas5es of Merida and the Yucatan. It was so interesting walking through the markets and food stalls. Those who served us food were incredibly kind. Marcos, our guide was full of energy, information, and fun. I love Mexican food (it's the best). I cook it often, so I learned a lot. I'm stuffed, too.
