Highly recommend this tour! Thanks Maria!

5.00Maria was a fantastic guide! The food we had was delicious, and Maria was accommodating and friendly. I loved hearing about the history of various cuisines and her own experiences with regional Mexican cuisine. She even shared some additional recommendations for the city as we continue exploring. I appreciated that the tour did not feel pushy or overly touristy. This was our first tour of the week and she was an excellent start. The larger “Eating with Carmen” team was also very communicative and helpful. Thank you so much! I would recommend this tour greatly.

5.00This tour was amazing! Great food, history, culture and knowledgeable guide! Yael was really good at sharing his passion for the culture and food.
