Fantastic food tour

5.00We did the Lost Tacos food tour as a family of four adults and had such a great experience. Carlos was an excellent guide — really informative, easy to chat to, and he made the whole experience fun and relaxed. We got to try lots of local food that we never would have ordered or discovered on our own, and everything was absolutely delicious. Carlos explained how each dish was made, what ingredients were used, and what made the food unique to this region of Mexico, which made the experience even more interesting. It was also fun that all four of us ended up having different favourite tacos because there was so much variety and everything was so tasty. Overall, it was one of the highlights of our time in Valladolid and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area
Amazing guide and overall experience

5.00The lost taco tour company are wonderfully kind people and despite a mix up in dates they gladly accommodated. Their guide Alé who filled in at a moment’s notice was kind, lovely and very knowledgeable about food having owned a restaurant herself. She used gastronomy to weave stories from her own family as well as local history to give great colour and context to the delicious food we got to try. Highly recommend!
Fantastic Valladolid Food Tour!

5.00My husband and I took this tour on our last day in Valladolid and we wish we did it sooner!! This was the absolute best way to learn more about the history and culture of Valladolid and the incredible food it has to offer. Carlos took us to a lot of really amazing hidden gems, all street food that had an abundance of flavor and carts we would have never known to stop at. The food was so delicious and getting to walk to town city and get to know Carlos was really special. We would recommend this a thousand times over - just do it at the beginning of your trip so you can go back to the food spots they show you during your visit!! They’re worth repeating.
Amazing food tour 10/10

5.00My wife and I wanted to experience local flavours and foods like a local would. We booked with The Lost Taco and it exceeded our expectations! Our host Carlos along with Ali were knowledgeable and friendly! I loved that we got to learn about the history and culture behind the food and how it was prepared while enjoying it. We were taken to spots we probably would have over looked just walking around ourselves. If you’re looking to have some amazing food and get to know Valladolid more I would highly recommend this tour! ⭐️
Highly Recommd

5.00The best walking food tour that we have taken. Carlos is knowledgeable and passionate about his Valladolid and Mayan heritage and the food that brings people together. He is also very relatable as he spent some time on the Canadian prairies for his education. We would highly recommend this tour for its wonderful food, history of the region and the exemplary tour guide.

5.00Carlos was the best tour guide! You can tell his love of local food and culture and it was an amazing morning being shown around Valladolid by him. Highly recommend this tour as you will find hidden gems that can’t be found on google. Also come hungry! We split some of the things and still were stuffed!
