Walk and discover the side of Puerto that tourists rarely see: real food, real people, real passion.
If you are planning to go to Puerto Escondido this tour is a must. Why?
Firstly, because you will discover the most “local” part of Puerto, where the locals actually eat, shop and live (far from the touristic beach sector).
Secondly, because it’s got all the basics you need to know about Oaxaca’s food culture, this tour is packed with Mexican specialties and unique experiences to make you feel like a true Puerto local by the end of it (and for sure know the difference between a normal local cheese and the “Oaxacan” cheese one).
Thirdly, it’s simply delicious
So, if you feel hungry for Oaxacan cuisine, thirsty for cultural knowledge, and adventurous for an exciting walk – this tour is for you

5.00The Puerto Food tour with Indra was excellent. Great variety of food types and stops. Wonderful visit to the centre of the city including the market. Indra is a local guide. She was enthusiastic, very knowledgeable about the food, the restaurant owners and the history of the city and Oaxaca state. We could tell she had authentic relationships at each stop on the tour. This was definitely an excellent way to see the real puerto Escondido
Fun and informative

5.00When they say “come hungry” - believe it! Be ready to taste a lot, learn a lot and walk a lot! Our guide, Indra was fun, knowledgeable and welcoming. We loved our food tour and highly recommend it as a way to become familiar with the wonderful food and culture of Puerto Escondido.
Take this tour, it's worth it.

5.00This was a fantastic tour. We went Saturday, January 17 at 3pm. Our guide (Indra?) was amazing. She kept us moving, on time, and made certain we were together and safe. There were seven of us. The tour was paced well with eating at different spots and proper portions. We learned about food, the culture, and the history of Escondido. We learned about different moles, coffee, cacao, and mezcal. We made our own tortillas. It was worth every penny and the 3.5 hours time. We left with bread, snacks, candy and a map of places visited and what we had there all in a gift bag. That bag came in handy as my wife and I bought coffee and tamarind mezcal.
Tour offers incredible value!

5.00Indra was an excellent guide who made a great effort to teach and entertain while touring us from one quaint culinary stop to another. We tried a great range of tasty local dishes and drinks and were all completely full by the end. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
Fun

3.00The host was lovely! Mostly leaving a 3 stars because I think it's extremely overpriced. I think this tour should be $40.
