5.00Fernando was a fantastic guide! He speaks excellent English and has great knowledge of both Mexican cuisine and the country's culture. We enjoyed a pleasant walking tour with stops at local food spots, where we tried unique, delicious, and new dishes. It was quite humid, so I'd recommend bringing your own water. Thanks for a great experience, Fernando!
Great tour!
