Taste Mérida’s Yucatecan specialties at markets and local stalls on a small-group walking tour with eight food stops and a local guide.

Taste Yucatecan street food, market fruits, cochinita pibil, ceviche, candy, and gelato on Merida’s small-group food walk.
“Luz expertly guided us through the market, tasting many different Mérida specialties. The ceviche and gelato to finish the tour we're delicious! We even went back to Pola for more gelato on our own. Skip breakfast as you will be very full by the end of this tour.”
Review of Tulum’s three-hour local food walk, with tacos, Mayan flavors, guide tips, pricing, logistics, and honest advice on value.

Taste Mérida’s Yucatecan specialties, explore local markets, and learn food traditions on a three-hour small-group tour.
“We had a tour today with Laura, she was very kind and explained all the food and traditions about eating very well. Also she explained to us about Merida city and its history. Every stop where we were eating was top notch! It was way too much food, but every bite worth it. We are glad that we booked this tour at the beginning of our merida tour, we saved all places we visited for other days. Thank you for this experience!”
Taste local Playa del Carmen through tacos, mole, quesadillas, markets, street art, and handmade popsicles on a small-group walking tour.
“This was probably the best food tour I've ever done! I knew the food would be good - we're in Mexico, after all - but they were proper portions, not just little bites. I was with a lovely group, which helped, but I think the atmosphere was created by our fabulous guide, Emmanuel. He was very lively! He made the whole tour fun. I cannot recommend it highly enough!”
Taste Cancun beyond the resorts with markets, Yucatecan dishes, street art, and local guides on this small-group walking food tour.
“Dreyken was our tour guide and was GREAT! Lots of great information on the food, how it’s prepared and Mayan history. All the food was excellent and nice to find the downtown gems we would never know about”
Taste Mérida’s market foods, Yucatecan specialties, ceviche, candies and gelato while learning about local culture with a bilingual guide.
“Our walking food tour was a visit to the busy local market. It provided an authentic experience where locals buy their fresh foods and have their breakfast. Our guide was familiar with the local vendors. We had delicious popular foods (quick service in spite of long queues) and she provided explanations for each dish. We also sampled fresh local fruits, herbs and spices used in Mexican cooking. Lunch was a prawn ceviche and we finished in an ice cream shop with interesting and unusual selection of flavours.”
