MUST DO!

5.00Terrific tour with Kristian- not only was it a “food market” tour, but so much more. He has extensive knowledge of the history, geography, culture of his country that he weaves throughout. We always do these kinds of tours in our travels and it is the best thing to do to get a real feel for the place you are visiting- makes the experience so much more valuable! He was amazing and passionate about what he does- cannot recommend enough!!!!
A Must-Do Food Market Tour in San José del Cabo

5.00I don’t very often write reviews, but this experience truly deserves a special mention. Kristian was born in Cabo San José, and his family is one of the few original local families, which gave the whole day an authenticity you just can’t fake. Lunch was absolutely delicious the building used to be an old school house, with plenty of samples along the way. I chose Chicken Mole and a lovely fresh fruit juice. My friend enjoyed slow cooked pork. I learned so much about locally grown plants and foods, as well as the area’s traditions and culture, which made the experience even richer. The food market was fascinating—so many ingredients and foods we simply don’t see in the UK. We also sampled freshly baked corn and flour tortillas and watched them being made. Overall, an incredibly interesting, educational, and enjoyable day. Highly recommend.
Really fun tour!

5.00Loved this tour! It was fun to learn about the history of the market and trying the authentic dishes was so fun! It was fun to try things we wouldn’t have otherwise without Kristian’s help! He was so kind, fun, and knowledgeable! Thanks for a great time Kristian!
Great cultural experience- off the tourist path

5.00I actually went on a history tour of SJD with Kristian earlier in the week and saw that he also led this market tour, so I booked it immediately. This tour is a great way to get off the beaten (tourist) path and explore how the locals actually live, and get a chance to sample some real Mexican food! The fresh, hand-made tortillas were the the best! Kristian's English is impeccable, and he is very knowledgeable about the history and the region. Highly recommend doing something like this that is quite a different from the usual tourist 'stuff' on your vacation!

5.00I booked this tour with Kristian for my husband. When he returned from the tour, he could not stop talking about how much fun he had and that he learned a lot about the food and markets in San Jose del Cabo. He would gladly take any tour Kristian leads in the future. Highly recommend.
A great experience!!

5.00Kristian was a great guide and showed me around the market which I wouldn’t have visited otherwise. I should’ve ate a lighter breakfast because lunch afterwards was really filling
