North America Food Trips

Mexico exceeded all my expectations. The diversity of the people and culture held a surprise every day. The local people are so pleased to be welcoming tourists to the areas we visited. There was a strong police presence particularly on highway 99 in the Chiapas area but not threatening and indeed, in other areas, made us feel safe. The tour was very busy with early departures in order to be able to cover the itinerary. Nothing was too much trouble for our guide - Tacho, he was proud to tell us of his Mayan ancestry and history of Mexico. I would have liked to spend a night on the Chocolate farm in the highlands and Maybe, just one night in San Cristobel but other than that can’t see how you could cover the trip length without that long drive to Tuxtla (nearly 11 hours for us due to road blocks and minor bus problem).

I’m not a big ‘foodie’ but my partner is, so I was expecting to just tag along for the ride. However, I absolutely loved this trip. It had the perfect mix of relaxation, food tasting, adventure, independent exploration and educational visits. We visited a few weeks before Día de Muertos and each place was busy putting up decorations and preparing for the celebration. I’m glad we got to see these. As a wildlife lover, the speed boat trip through the Sumidero Canyon was a highlight for me. And we were pleased we opted to go on the Mount Alban trip as we had the whole site to ourselves for a while! Luis our guide, was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make the trip memorable for each person and we were very well looked after. There were a couple of long drives, but our minibus had reclining seats, USB charging ports on seat backs and we stopped frequently for comfort breaks. The scenery along the way was incredible and the journeys flew by!

We were very pleased with Josh and his enthusiasm for Philadelphia! It was a nice small group, and we received a great overview of the city. I would highly recommend this tour!

I apologize but I forgot our tour guide's name! I was on the Sunday, 3/29 history tour at 2:30pm - our guide (the woman who lived in Russia for awhile) was great!

Evelyn was fantastic - very knowledgable about the markets, but also very friendly to chat with while we were walking between places. She was also helpful in finding food samples that I could eat due to dietary preferences. It was a great way to spend my first morning in Mexico City. Thank you so much Evelyn and tour company for running the tour on a different day.

Fantastic tour with a great guide (Brian). Lots of different taste tests with plenty to eat and drink and great history of the area and the small businesses that make it so interesting
