5.00I had a great time with Food Tours San Cristobal de las casas! Abner, my guide, curated a feast across town that felt more like a delicious treasure hunt than a tour. We started with a bang at a restaurant serving Yucatán cuisine, and it only got better from there. Abner shared stories, history, and his knowledge of local herbs and flavors as we made our way to many tucked away gems. We stopped for delicious natural chocolate handmade by the sweetest abuelita, stopped for a cheeky tequila, sampled a funky little pan made with pulque, and dipped into more salsas than I could count. San Cristóbal is a dream for foodies! There’s global variety everywhere mixed with Chiapas soul. This tour is the perfect way to dive in. 10/10 recommend to book it when you arrive so you can revisit all of the great stops!
A great tour for anyone wanting to discover San Cristobal's foodie spots

5.00This was a really great tour from many perspectives. It gave us a good overview of the neighborhoods of San Cristobal; provided an historical perspective; uncovered some great stalls in the locals market for buying spices, produce, etc; and helped us discover some great restaurants that we would never have found if relying solely on things like Tripadvisor, blog posts, and the usual suspects. Cezar took us to some great Mexican food, including local cuisine, but also a great Japanese spot, so it was a good overview of the overall food scene of the city. It's very multi-cultural. Our tour included six very different places. I'd highly recommend this tour.
A good food tour which needs a few modifications

4.00This is a mixed review as the tour started off poorly. The address was incorrect and when I crossed into the plaza I stood there for awhile before another participant recognized me as a part of the tour. Also the first 2 stops were Japanese and Italian. When I take a food tour I'm interested in that country's food not food from another country. The guide was good and the rest of the tour went well from the walk through the market to the final four stops. I enjoyed Casa de Willy typically Mexican, the Fun mushroom tea store, HAM smoked ham restaurant and my favourite the chocolate shop. My suggestions are: 1. Identify the plaza where you will be meeting clearly as opposed to an incorrect address. 2. Identify the guide with a particular t-shirt or umbrella so the guide and the client can find each other. 3. Write a description of the stops so clients get what they expect. ie. A Mexican food tour
A great way to see some wonderful places to eat.

5.00Abner did a great job taking us to restaurants we had not tried before and went to on our own after the tour. We had walked by most of them before but hadn’t stopped.
You won’t do a better tour than this !

5.00We had an absolutely brilliant tour with Claudio , without a doubt the best food tour we have ever done ! Not only did we get to taste some great local dishes but we visited markets we would never have found on our own . Claudio has an incredible knowledge of the history and customs of the area and shares them with a huge amount of passion and enthusiasm. We spent significantly longer than we expected and we could have stayed talking and learning all day , a fantastic tour and great value for money. We would highly recommend this tour with Claudio
A Must!!

5.00Amazing food tour! Starting with the local market and through the amazing mural Streets, eating at places that if you’re wandering yourself, you will have a hard time finding them. Claudio was fantastic- my in laws are elderly but he kept the very nice leisurely pace, he spoke very clearly and loud enough that my in laws had no problem while walking up and down the narrow somewhat difficult streets. Food was amazingly delicious and we got all the great recommendations we need! I highly absolutely recommend to have this tour- esp. beginning of your stay in San Cristobal de las Casas so that you don’t miss any of the amazing restaurants ❤️❤️
Meet the locals
