Our hostess Pamela was wonderful. The food was delicious - she explained each dish and the spices used in them. She was lovely sharing lots of inside knowledge of the food, market and area we visited. My husband was not feeling well and she made sure he had water and horchcatta one of the only things he could stomach today. Thank you -

Marisol was so knowledgeable and a joy to spend time with. We were all stuffed by the end and it was handy that the fee included the tour making all the food and drink purchases so make things smooth.

Pamela was a wonderful guide she took us through the market and ordered 7 different foods to try, followed up with an email and recipes.
Tasty Food in Merida...

Had some great food and conversation with Kevin on a Saturday morning in Merida. All the delicacies chosen were tasty and the walking tour was a reasonable distance considering the high temperatures and crowded spaces.
You won’t be disappointed, a terrific food tour!

Marisol leads a wonderful food tour through the food market, 5 or 6 stops along the way. I’ve uploaded a some of the vendors (asking them to remove their face masks for the shots). Friendly folks, tasty treats. Our tour ended with delicious ceviche and the best ice cream! Great job Marisol, thank you!
Eating our dinner at thru Merida’s marketplace.

The morning of our Street Food tour was rainy and our guide, Pame, quickly arranged a great tour in the city market. We tasted so many great variations on tostados, meats, and salsas that Pame said she would send us the name of each thing we tasted so we could simply watch and taste.
Just walking they the market with her as our guide was very interesting.
We asked her where we could find marquesitas—a taxi driver from the airport to hotel told us they were a real Yucatán treat. Pame told us they are typically eaten in the evening while people were out strolling. However, as she put us in a taxi at the end of our Street Food tour, she told the driver where to find a little shop that often opens early. We got our marquesitas and agreed that they are wonderful.
Thanks to Pame for showing us such an interesting time in Merida.
Great tour, great guide!

The food was exceptional, and our guide, Pamela, was top notch. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to talk to. The gelato at the end was the perfect way to cap the end of the tour. I even travelled by myself the next day to the same gelato shop because it was so tasty. I’ll definitely book again the next time I’m in town.

We did a food tour with Pamela and loved it! We’re on vacation in the Yucatan with my parents, husband and sister (all adults). We enjoyed every part of the tour and Pamela was a fun and interesting guide. We enjoyed going in the market and seeing the local culture and Pamela’s relationships with vendors. We had the best cochinita pibil of our life in the market.
Let Jose and Laura introduce you to Merida

Jose and Laura, brother and sister Merida natives were wonderful hosts. These two young people claimed to be learning English. I would go a step further and say they spoke English.
My husband and I come to the Merida area for 3 months every year. My aunt and uncle were there for the first time... We happened to have a personal tour (not by design) which was nice.
Most of the tour was in the main market in Merida, a place that can be intimidating if you don't know it well. Our tour guide/hosts select the vendors by visiting and sampling all the food they use in their tours... As lifelong residents, they already have a good idea of where to start. They also check the cooking practices, including cleanliness of individual food stalls. Everything we tried was amazing. We (as part time residents) tried things we had never had and broadened our experience with Yucatecan food. It was a great way to introduce Yucatan first timers to Mexican food that wasn't burritos and tacos. While the cost of the tour seems high, it is in line with food tours we have taken in other countries and is well worth its price...
Highly recommended!!!

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
