Delicious food and kind tour guide (Marcel) - We did the tour with Marcel. He was a really friendly guy and his English was perfect. The tour visits places that would be too "intimidating" for a tourist to visit (because of language barrier/local vibe.) But they were all clean and welcoming and the food was outstanding. Would recommend this tour to people who enjoy food and a little bit of local history. Marcel also asked whether we had food preferences/intolerances and how much we liked spice so he could advise what to choose from the options available (each stop had a couple of food flavour options, which was also a good tour feature.) Thanks, Marcel! Muy Rico! ;)

Wonderful and interesting tour - Just finished the tour and we had a great time. Marcel our guide was excellent - very informative and interesting. We would definitely recommend, we ate from places we would never dream of going to normally, and it was lovely - proper street food! Don’t have a big breakfast before you go!

Perfect local experience with best guide Emmanuel - Emmanuel was an amazing guide! Right from the start he made you feel like you were friends on a night out around the local area. We went to places I probably wouldn’t have gone to by myself! Really great tour for a fun evening out with extremely yummy food

Overvalued - Many is very knowledgeable and informative. Authentic experience with local knowledge. The flirtation and sexual language were unbecoming and made the entire experience feel cheap.
