    Jorge is an amazing guide. So friendly and knowledgable. Conversing with him about thr foods, cooling, and history was so rich. It’s great that Sabores Mexico found this chef and restauranteur to lead the new Merida tour. We highly recommend him as a guide. And the food choices were amazing. So much food, delicious drinks, and the hosts at each of the seven stops made us fereel like family. My favorite stop was at Manifesto, Claudio’s artisenal coffee house! Claudio has the best perspective on coffee that I have rver experienced.
