5.00Excellent tour- loved the market experience, our guide Mario, and wonderful Chef Daniel at the restaurant. The offer to take photos for us throughout the tour and then email them to us by the tour company was also really nice and allowed us to just enjoy the experience.

5.00We were so lucky to have Mario as our guide for this experience again! He was our guide a few days earlier for the Acapulco day tour. This was a wonderful experience walking through the central market and tasting special local dishes, then learning from Chef Daniel at his restaurant, where we cooked an appetizer and two main dishes. We really enjoyed this tour and are so appreciative that the tour company had Mario take photos for us throughout the tour, then sent them to us in an email with video and photo links, so that we could fully immerse ourselves in the experience. Another A++ experience.
Great day tour!

5.00Mario and Jesus were great - they actually guided us on two tours during our trip and both were excellent. The highlight of this particular tour was the cooking demo in the restaurant kitchen. It was a great way to cap off a tour that took us all around the city. Both of the guides were extremely knowledgeable and each brought their own experiences to the dialog. The van was clean, Mario and Jesus' english was great, and everything felt safe at all times. The people of Acapulco were overall much better than people in the US at observing COVID precautions. We stayed at Las Brisas, which is a little outside the main city area, so this was a great chance to have a guide around the rest of the city.

5.00Saw first the different housing areas of the working and middle class in the mountains, this was very interesting as Beto and Jose, our guides explain to us about taxes, health care and other aspects of the Mexican live. When at the market I enjoyed visiting where the locals shop, viewing all the fresh ingredients they use for their cooking and learning about different peppers and why the chicken is yellow! At the restaurant, we prepared guacamole, salsas, and chicken and beef fajitas - delicious!! Great cultural experience for everyone This was an excellent addition to my trip!
What a wonderful day we got to spend...

5.00What a wonderful day we got to spend at the market and touring the town. We learned so much about Acapulco, the government, its history and so much more. They really went the extra mile. Definitely a 10 out of 10. Book it. It is worth your time and money.

5.00It was wonderful, though I already knew how to prepare all that was taught. I did learn a few details, though, so that was nice. I love the idea of the tasting tour that you brought up. In all, a wonderful experience. I highly recommend!!!
